in the broadest possible terms, we are hoping to help deepen their experience
of themselves and of the worlds in which they live. It is also easy to say,
although here our answers will be more personal, why we want to do this: for
each of us it reflects a range of therapeutic, ethical, and even aesthetic
commitments.
We meet our patients with our goals and commitments in mind, but what do
we do with them when we are together? We can easily agree that what we do
is have a conversation with them, a peculiar sort of conversation to be sure,
but a conversation nonetheless (see Lear 2003). So far, so good. But since
we believe that the kinds of conversations we have with patients radically
transform their lives (and may to a greater or lesser extent transform our
own), it must be a very special conversation. How do we even describe the
nature of that conversation?
Freud, of course, believed that the psychoanalytic conversation was unique
and sui generis; as a result, he found it hard to describe. Thus, in an important
passage in “Observations on Transference-Love” he maintained that the
course we must follow in conducting an analysis “is one for which there is no
model in real life” (Freud 1915, p. 166). In place of detailed description he
often turned to poetic, generative metaphors that he hoped would convey what
was happening in the psychoanalytic situation. He used many of these; not all
of them, as we will see, are compatible with each other. Three of Freud's
best-known metaphors come quickly to mind. Analysis is an archaeological
excavation in which the clinician/scientist slowly and carefully unearths
remnants of a buried past, allowing the reconstruction of a history that has
been lost to repression (Breuer and Freud 1895; Freud 1937). Or analysis is
a chess game in which the correct moves—with the exception of the opening
and the endgame—are determined by the unfolding and unpredictable
situation at any moment (Freud 1913). Or analysis is like a military
engagement in which positions are attacked and defended, the eventual
outcome shaped by the larger strategic importance of what might seem to be
unimportant issues (Freud 1912).
Describing the psychoanalytic situation has not gotten any easier since
Freud, and those who have made the attempt have relied on metaphor much as
he did; some theorists are explicit that their concepts are metaphoric, while
others are not. A quick and incomplete overview of some of our more
compelling metaphors reveals a range that is both rich and vexing. Analysis
recapitulates the relationship between child and

relations” (p. 62). Rather, she asserts, understanding what happens within the
field requires what she terms “a metapsychology of the couple.” Baranger
conceptualizes the “couple,” in a way similar to how Ogden conceptualizes
the analytic third, as a new and unique object of investigation that emerges
within the analytic field. But I would suggest—in stark contrast to what the
Barangers and Ogden have in mind—that neither the couple nor the third
exists independently of the controlling fiction that creates it; they are elements
of a particular way of narrating an analysis.
Investigating any of these narrative elements can certainly lead to
interesting, evocative, perhaps therapeutic ways of understanding what needs
to be understood. But we must not forget that it is the controlling fiction that
creates the elements in the first place. Not all psychoanalytic models support
the notion of a couple with its own unique metapsychology, not even all
models that are anchored in field theory. Harry Stack Sullivan's North
American interpersonal version of field theory, for example, says nothing
about a couple; the controlling fiction that characterizes interpersonal
psychoanalysis requires a metapsychology of two individuals and a theory
that accounts for the ways in which they affect each other (Stern 2013).
What can be said about the “couple” can of course be said about the
“individual,” another narrative element that comes into existence only under
the sway of a particular controlling fiction. Seen from this point of view,
concepts such as wishes, fantasies, and resistances that are said to exist
independently of specific relational contexts also depend on larger narrative
choices. Skepticism about whether the couple exists is balanced by equally
steadfast skepticism about the existence of the individual.2 But both
narratives are also illuminating to analysts committed to viewing things
through the lens that they offer; like dreams and metaphors, both can bring
something unexpected to mind.
Consider a simple example: Treating the analyst's apparently narcissistic
ruminations as part of a co-constructed analytic third can lead to
—————————————
2 Sullivan (1940, 1950) provocatively referred to “the illusion of personal
individuality.” As Fiscalini (2006) has noted, in doing so Sullivan was
denying the legitimacy of individuality as a subject of psychiatric study,
another example of the way in which a controlling fiction (in this case the
idea that psychiatry is the study of interpersonal relations) determines what
can be thought about, and even what can be seen.

interesting discoveries about what the dyad has created. But it will make it
more difficult to recognize ways in which the analyst's irritability, self-
absorption, or anxiety has made contact and engagement with the patient more
difficult on a given day. And, more to the point, it will make it more difficult
to track down ways in which the patient's material has inadvertently triggered
anxieties that interfere with the analyst's analytic capacity. In a model
anchored in the interaction of two individuals, this interference can be
entirely independent of any intention of the patient's. Viewed from this
interactive perspective, the conclusions drawn from exploration of the
“analytic third” may appear to be an avoidance of the analyst's own
unconscious process, or even a rationalization of his or her shortcomings.
All this suggests that in our attempts to understand what goes on between
analyst and analysand we are always trafficking in competing, often
incommensurable narratives. Casting this in broad terms, I would say that any
understanding of what is “really” going on can take shape only in the context
of some controlling fiction. Or to put it another way, there is no way of
conceptualizing what is real that is not to a significant extent fictive. Novelists
know this, of course, and psychoanalysts can and should learn from them.
Let me turn now to what I see as the intimate connection between the
controlling fiction and our theories of therapeutic action. I have suggested that
the controlling fiction creates the characters and the events that populate our
narrative accounts of the psychoanalytic situation. Theories of therapeutic
action are central elements of that narrative; they link events, create ideas
about cause and effect, and in doing so describe the arc that a treatment has
followed, regardless of whether it has succeeded or failed. Consider a few
examples, obviously highly schematized, of the various ways success is
explained:
“Because the analyst interpreted the patient's infantile fantasy of devouring
and incorporating her father's penis, the patient was able to begin to work
through her guilt and eventually to assert herself more effectively and even
competitively with male coworkers.”
“Because the analyst was able to receive and contain the unspeakable fear
of being smothered that the patient could only evacuate through projective
identification, the patient gradually became able to symbolize and to think
about that fear; soon he could dream about it, and with that his agoraphobia
slowly subsided.”

“Because the analyst, mindful that the patient was an adult and capable of
learning about her impact on others, shared her countertransference
experience, the patient came to see that she used her seductiveness to avoid
the feelings of shame that had always plagued her; this eventually freed her to
engage in relationships more authentically and to find more satisfaction, both
professionally and in her romantic life.”
“Because the analyst found a way to see and to respond affirmingly to the
despair about being recognized and admired that was hidden by the patient's
arrogant boasting and grandiose claims, the patient was able to consolidate a
more stable sense of himself as capable and effective; this eventually made it
possible for him to continue the work toward his doctorate that had come to a
standstill.”
I imagine that the reader will easily identify the various theoretical
traditions from which these descriptions are drawn; despite being
hypothetical and, as I said, highly schematized, they ring true, perhaps
because they are so identifiable. Note as well that each description contains
the same structural elements; consider the first two of these. First, there is a
behavior of the analyst (interpretation, containment, countertransference
disclosure, providing an essential developmental experience that had been
missed); next there is an internal change in the patient that is linked to what
the analyst has done (working through previously unconscious guilt,
developing a capacity to symbolize and therefore to think about things that had
been inchoate and capable of expression only through action, learning about
her impact on others and how that had regulated an internal state, developing
psychic structure that had been undeveloped because of inadequate
environmental provision). For some theorists the account of therapeutic action
can stop here, with the description of what have been characterized as
“treatment goals” (Ticho 1972).
But for the sake of illustration I have taken things a step further, so that
achieving treatment goals leads in turn to the accomplishment of “life goals”
(Ticho 1972). Our hypothetical patients, having used analysis well,
accomplished what I imagine they came in for: they have overcome fears,
moved forward professionally, established more stable relationships. Their
treatments have been helpful and—the crucial point—they have been helpful
precisely because of what the analyst has done and because of the internal
changes that these interventions have brought about. The requirements of any
theory of therapeutic action have been met.

Now let us imagine that the clinicians who have conducted these treatments
convene at an updated version of the 1936 Marienbad Symposium, where
Glover delivered the warning with which I began this paper. Each clinician
tells his or her story, recounting the events of the treatments and linking them
to the internal and external changes being reported. Each report is convincing
on its own terms.
This is where the idea of a controlling fiction intersects with our
conversations about the theory of therapeutic action. If, as I have suggested,
we can't even describe the events of an analysis in the absence of some
controlling fiction, then certainly there is no way to step outside our narrative
structure to conceptualize a sequence of events that has led to benign change.
Consider, in the schematic sequences I have sketched out, the number of ideas
that have meaning only within the context of some controlling fiction. In
talking about the analyst's interventions—the elements of therapeutic action
that should be most amenable to theory-free description—I mentioned
interpretation, containment, self-disclosure, and mirroring or recognition. But
of course each of these goes far beyond description; a naive observer viewing
a “containing” analyst might see only silence; watching an analyst “mirror” a
patient, the same observer might see flattery. And so on.
Next consider the inner change that grew out of these interventions:
amelioration of a harsh superego, development of alpha function, assumption
of personal responsibility, consolidation of healthy narcissism within a more
stable self-structure. Here theory creates the language itself.
This is why I believe that the elements out of which any vision of
therapeutic action is constructed come into existence and have meaning only
under the influence of a particular controlling fiction. And similarly, the
controlling fiction dictates a narrative arc that creates what is seen as a causal
chain. Theories of therapeutic action are theories of causation. Recall that
each of my schemas began with the word “because”; one way to put things is
to say that the way we see the characters and plot of any psycho-therapeutic
engagement depends on our preferred controlling fiction. To my eye this does
not make our discussions of therapeutic action less interesting, but it does
fatally compromise any attempt to adjudicate among different formulations.
That is why in today's pluralistic world Glover's idea of “mere special
pleading” seems more relevant than ever.
Let me anticipate an objection at this point: although the concepts I have
mentioned emerge from and are embedded in larger theoretical

structures, some will say that with enough work they can be unpacked and
understood across conceptual divides. If we are open to talking with each
other we can understand what an interpretation is, even if some of us are more
interested in interpreting intrapsychic conflict and others are more interested
in interpreting disavowed relational experience. And, having reached some
consensus, we can go on to evaluate the efficacy of interpretation in
comparison with other sorts of intervention.
Ecumenicism and optimism are, of course, always appealing. But let me
suggest that the situation is actually more complex, darker, and more
interesting. Consider a situation that arises frequently and is vitally important
in any analysis. Working with a radical version of field theory derived from
the Barangers’ model, Civitarese (2005) describes a patient who, a week
before the summer break, announces that her father has suddenly decided to
separate from her mother. She asks for advice on how to help her mother,
persisting until he feels “cornered” (p. 1310). “I choose to focus on the
characters of the session,” Civitarese comments, “and try to reply simply,
saying that it is a very sad situation, that perhaps her mother is the one who is
suffering most now, that [if I were she] I would ask myself how I could help
my mother … and, in fact, I ask her, after a few minutes of silence, what can
be done to help her” (p. 1310; emphasis added). He sees what he says to the
patient as a “narrative, unsaturated interpretation” (p. 1312; emphasis
added), concepts to which I will return shortly.
Civitarese's report of this moment is particularly illuminating because he
has told us exactly what he did with his patient, the words he spoke. And he
has gone on to conceptualize an event within the analysis that was constituted
by his speaking those words; he characterizes what he said as a particular sort
of interpretation. Let us take a close look at the relationship between the
reality and the conceptualization, the latter shaped by the analyst's preferred
controlling fiction.
Reading the vignette, I experience, as I imagine most psychoanalysts
would, the pressures the analyst is under and the tensions he feels. It is a
familiar situation: an emergency arises in a patient's life that both mirrors and
eclipses the emergency developing within the treatment. We feel complicit in,
if not to blame for, the emergencies, and certainly obliged not to go off on
vacation leaving the patient in a collapsed state. But at the same time we do
feel “cornered” by the patient's demands and by her demandingness.

have been calling the “controlling fiction” of the field; Civitarese's version of
field theory defines every image that emerges in the minds of the patient and
the analyst as a character. Thus, the mother the patient is describing carries
the helplessness that grows out of the experience of abandonment; it is the
patient's way of communicating what she is feeling in relation to the analyst,
but which she is unable to experience more directly.
On the basis of this assumption—that the mother is a repository of the
patient's unsymbolized and evacuated proto-experience—anything the analyst
says about the patient/mother image is by definition an interpretation. It is an
interpretation because it puts words to experience that as yet has no words,
and it is “unsaturated” because it does not burden the patient with the weight
of transferential meanings the analyst believes she cannot bear. This all leads
to a clear theory of therapeutic action: any benign change can be attributed to
the generativity of the interpretation and to the analyst's presenting it in a form
that allows the patient to hear and to begin processing it.
But of course the comment is an interpretation only in the context of
Civitarese's theory. Seen from another perspective, telling the patient to think
first about how she can help her mother would not look like an interpretation
at all. For example, analysts working with an interactive model—one that
assumes an encounter between two individuals, each responding to his or her
own wishes, fears, internal objects, and so on—would likely see things quite
differently.
Many alternatives come quickly to mind: Civitarese's intervention could be
understood as a retreat to support or advice-giving stemming from the
analyst's guilty reaction to the analysand's forceful but indirect indictment of
him for abandoning her in a moment of need; it could be seen as the analyst's
withholding of an interpretation in an attempt to escape from or retaliate for
the feeling of being “cornered”; perhaps it reflects the analyst's anxiety that
confronting the patient with the realities of the present moment will lead her
to abandon him. I hope it is clear in what I am saying that I am not assuming
that one way of understanding the dynamics of this exchange is more “correct”
than another; nor do I have any information that would lead me to believe that
one intervention is more analytically or therapeutically effective (this is, of
course, true of virtually any clinical vignette).
Now let us assume that the intervention led, at least in the short run, to
some benign change. The patient becomes less anxious; perhaps she

finds a way to engage effectively with her mother without feeling that she has
betrayed her father; she is able to miss her analyst during the break rather than
collapsing under the weight of the various abandonments. We are left with
competing theories to explain this improvement. Field theorists assert that it
was caused by the analyst's ability to find a useful interpretation and to
convey it with the right amount of “saturation,” so that the patient was able to
hear it and put it to use. Analysts working with a more interactive model, by
contrast, would see the change as resulting from some other kind of event: the
analyst's support and advice-giving that recognized a legitimate need; his
resilience and nonretaliation in the face of feeling cornered. Perhaps the
change is a transient improvement that reflects the patient's manic sense of
triumph over having successfully attacked the analyst's analytic identity,
provoking a counterattack that undermines his authority. We have competing
theories, and of course there are many others. What is most interesting about
them is that each rests on events that come into sight only when viewed
through the lens of a particular controlling fiction.
I am aware, of course, that I am focusing somewhat reductively on a
specific moment in a long, complex, and nonlinear process. But the building
blocks of all analyses are specific moments, and theories of therapeutic action
require that we link these moments in one way or another to change in the
patient. And as Civitarese's case illustrates, it is impossible even to describe
what these moments are in the absence of a controlling fiction.
To put things in a nutshell, I think it would be difficult to decide whether
the patient got better because the analyst interpreted or precisely because he
did not.
Here we encounter one of the most troubling aspects of the way in which
psychoanalytic theory is constructed. I have argued so far that not only our
theories of therapeutic action but our description of the events making up the
psychoanalytic situation are ultimately fictive. That is, our theories of
therapeutic action are coherent, persuasive, interesting narratives that are in
essence logical deductions from competing and incompatible controlling
fictions. Unfortunately, they appear coherent and persuasive, and perhaps they
are even interesting, only to those who accept the controlling fiction from
which they derive. It is hard even to imagine a method that would adjudicate
among different controlling fictions in a way that would help us feel
comfortable.

This is the point at which our preferred controlling fiction, the theories of
therapeutic action that derive from them, and our sense of the analyst's
responsibility converge. I would put it this way: the controlling fiction
prescribes the analyst's responsibilities via the theory of therapeutic action
that is one element of the controlling fiction. The analyst, faced with the need
to choose quickly among a multitude of available responses (silence, of
course, is one response), filters the possibilities through a theory of
therapeutic action. This filtering is likely to be preconscious or even
unconscious; most of the time we will think that something is amiss if we
struggle consciously with how to respond. The analyst's theory of therapeutic
action is most often implicit (Sandler 1983), and it will not necessarily match
any of the formalized theories that are written about.
Because there has been relatively little discussion in our literature of what
I am calling the various “controlling fictions” with which we work, there has
been no comparative study of the responsibilities of the analyst entailed by
these different models.3 Although a full discussion of this issue is beyond my
scope here, I do want to briefly mention that these differences exist and that
they decisively shape not only ways of understanding the nature of the
analyst's participation in the psychoanalytic process but every analyst's
clinical choices as well. I will illustrate this briefly by sketching out the
responsibilities that I believe are inherent in two approaches that, although
both can be considered intersubjective, are based on very different
controlling fictions.
First, consider the responsibility inherent in contemporary
Kleinian/Bionian theory and clinical practice. Although the point is
debatable, I characterize their approach as intersubjective in the sense that the
analysand's projective identifications necessarily affect the analyst's thoughts
and feelings. The controlling fiction in this model is that the analyst functions
as a container for the patient's unbearable, unsymbolized proto-experience,
which is evacuated via projective identification. The derivative theory of
therapeutic action focuses on the analyst's ability to receive these projected
contents, to metabolize them through his or her reverie, and to return them to
the patient in a way the patient can bear. All of this is based on an etiological
hypothesis: the move from the paranoid/schizoid to the depressive position,
and thus the capacity both to

(2013) bears on this, but approaches the problem from a different angle.

the analyst's courage, first in confronting his or her own reactions, next in
finding a way to let the patient know something about what is going on. The
North American openness to self-disclosure as a legitimate analytic
intervention began with this tradition, although there continues to be a wide
range of opinion among interpersonal analysts about its efficacy.
Of course interpersonal analysts would be no less critical of Civitarese's
case than Bionians. But for them the issue would be the analyst's failure to
deal authentically with his feeling of being cornered. Not dealing directly
with this—again, self-disclosure would be one route to this but not the only
one—deprives the patient of her right to know how she affects other people,
thus short-circuiting the analysis itself. The retreat to advice-giving is
infantilizing and likely to lead to an iatrogenic regression, perhaps even to
pseudocompliance enacted through a flight into health. If the analyst cannot
confront his own feelings about what the patient is doing to him, how can the
patient confront her feelings about what is happening to her? And how can she
come to know the interpersonal world within which all of this is going on,
including her own role in creating it?
It goes without saying that analysts of all theoretical persuasions take their
responsibilities very seriously; as I have mentioned, these responsibilities
reflect commitment both to the well-being of our patients and to our own
professional identities and relationships. But analysts also know that the
particulars of these terribly real responsibilities derive from concepts that are
ways of narrating infinitely complex realities; we know, at least
preconsciously, that the foundations of our theoretical edifice are ultimately
fictive.
This is the analyst's dilemma and a source of tension that we don't discuss
often enough. Perhaps putting things this way deepens our appreciation of
what Glover implied at Marienbad. Our theories of therapeutic action are
links in a chain that connects a controlling fiction to an urgent reality, and we
plead for one point of view over another in search of a certainty that I am
afraid will elude us forever.
