This contribution, in part discussed by the authors at the ‘Andare Avanti’ study day organized in January 2023, seeks to outline the role played by co-reflective dialogue between patient and therapist, in the emergence of Subjectivity and the sense of agency in psychotherapy. Starting from the analysis of concepts that have become classics in the Psychoanalysis of Relationships, such as those of ‘creativity’ and ‘delegation’, a theoretical revisiting of them is proposed aimed at recovering the implicit, corporeal and intersubjective bases of the therapeutic process. In an attempt to describe the complex links between the self-reflective and pre-reflective, individual and relational dimensions of the sense of agency in psychotherapy, the analysis of a clinical vignette is proposed.
