The relational experience in the psychoanalytic situation
The author explores the psychological dimensions of relational experience in the psychoanalytic situation, declined in accordance with the tradition of interpersonal psychoanalysis. After a review of the literature on the topic, H. S. Sullivan’s original thinking on the subject is examined, retrieving and updating the three levels of experience, prototaxic (body), parataxic (visual image and dream), and syntaxis (language). After describing the four meanings through which these forms of relational experience are elaborated and conceived in the interpersonal psychoanalytic literature, the author highlights some suggestive analogies with the thinking of Bion and of Wilma Bucci.
