The Independent Tradition

The authors have preserved the format of their original presentation where A nne T yndale described the conceptualizations that characterize the Independent approach: namely, their reliance on the living experience offered by the analytic frame illuminated by timely interpretation. Interpretation emerges from the experience of listening – to the analysand and to the analyst's own psychic movements. In this context, premature interpretations of the transference are purposely avoided, as they risk creating a superimposed and artificial dynamic between analysand and analyst. V iqui R osenberg illustrates the approach and offers her reflections.
