520			_aThe concept of intersubjectivity has known a rich history in American psychoanalysis. The author uses the PEP archive of psychoanalytic publications in English to sketch its various uses and clinical value. He suggests that despite divergences in vocabulary and theoretical orientation between adherents of various analytic schools its use indicates a convergence in contemporary practice. In this new paradigm, analytic work is displaced from its traditional focus of the mental life of a single subject towards transpersonal contexts and the mutual influence between analyst and patient. This move represents more than a contest between the classical Ego psychology of the American Psychoanalytic Association and the relational emphasis of the independent institutes, but implies a reconceptualisation of the status of the subject, now seen through the lens of infant researchers as belonging from the first to a network of intersubjective relationships. The author notes two principal tendencies in current theory and discusses the problems for psychoanalysis that flow from them?: principally the role of the unconscious and the persistence of intrapsychic structures.
