The author explores the notion of inter-intentionality as a major form of intersubjectivity in opening up the notion of unconscious intentionality. After recalling the messaging dimension of impulse he develops the different levels of complexity of intentionality. A critical reading of the theory of the mind questions the unconscious intentionality capacities of the baby, the baby who is sensitive to the intentions of the other and which establishes strategies to explore them. One of Winnicott’s clinical examples introduces the idea of the exploration of the intentions of the other, a “potential” intention only becoming “effective” when certain intersubjective conditions are met. In this context the author develops the idea that the intention of one also aims at exploring the intention of the other, and questions how to transmit his own intentionality, and in particular in borderline and extreme situations. The intersubjective dialectic is thus a dialectic of inter-intentionality, it being at the level of supposed intentions that exchange is established. The author concludes by evoking the psychotherapeutic situation especially with narcissistic patients who need to be reassured of the intentions of the therapist, to measure the degree of security of the situation to know how far they can release certain control and defense mechanisms, how far to let the harm zones of their history return to the psychic surface and rework the “solutions” placed in the past to deal with the traumatic effects of some of their past experiences.
