Contrast between objective science and intersubjective/hermeneutic approaches.

Main Results:

The participant-observation model fostered a relational turn and a postmodern shift in psychoanalysis.
Psychoanalysis moved towards intersubjectivity, recognizing the analyst as a subjective other.
Mutual, often unconscious, influence between analyst and patient is a key feature of this model.

Conclusions:

The relational model highlights the analyst's affective engagement, often outside conscious awareness.
Contrary to common misconceptions, interpersonal analysts do not necessarily advocate for overt self-disclosure.
Interpersonal psychoanalysis has broadened the range of therapeutic interventions beyond traditional methods.
