As a tribute to the work of Robert Grossmark on the unobtrusive stance in psychodynamic work with patients, this paper looks at the idea of exploring an unobtrusive therapeutic stance with particular focus in the setting on an addiction treatment center. It intends to shed more light in the understanding of how dynamics can unfold in new and novel ways that require the therapist to, from time to time, resist temptations to intervene in old, familiar approaches and dwell into the unfamiliar territory of being unobtrusive. It draws heavily from Grossmark’s [1] idea and clinical experience about the therapeutic value of a therapist taking an unobtrusive stance and resisting the temptation of prematurely providing analytical inputs, possibly disrupting an opportunity for the patients to make sense of and do deeper work with his/ her own materials. Some clinical vignettes will be explored in this paper through the lens of adopting the above stance.
