Relational freedom is Dr. Stern's own interpersonal and relational conception of the field in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. He considers the emergent qualities of the interpersonal field, which never include the patient or analyst alone, but always both participants. Building on the foundation of unformulated experience, dissociation and enactment, Dr. Stern considers how the interpersonal field can both facilitate and inhibit experiencing. Greater freedom in the interpersonal field makes the freedom to experience possible, and therefore underpins therapeutic action. Changes in the kinds of relatedness that are facilitated and inhibited involve a mode of therapeutic action that is always co-present with the more traditional approaches emphasizing understanding and interpretation of transference-countertransference. Case material will be presented to illustrate these ideas in practice.
