The chapter ends with a look at how Erv and Lynne bridge divides in personal and professional interests.Chapter Two: Insights: Lynne Describes Some Insights from Studying Psychoanalysis.This short segment focuses on Lynne’s integration of a particular contemporary psychoanalytic theory with Gestalt therapy.Chapter Three: Theory Matters.We discuss and argue about similarities and differences in our theoretical and clinical stances. We range widely over topics that catch our interest in the moment. We take on contact, empathy, transference, “meeting,” self-disclosure, judgment and interpretation, awareness, distortion and pungent language vs. theory language. We examine the difference between leading edge (growing edge) focus and trailing edge focus in clinical work, which becomes relevant in the video segment in the next chapter.Chapter Four: Clinical Process: A Video of Erving working, with Comments from Lynne.We watch a video of Erv working with someone eat an Evolution of Psychotherapy conference. Lynne offers a critical analysis of the difference between leading edge and trailing edge focus and the clinical implications of each.Chapter Five: Clinical Matters and Theory Matters.We continue to discuss leading edge/trailing edge approaches to clinical work. A discussion about what we mean by, “self” take place, with agreements and disagreements, and several forays into defining what we mean by the word, “self,” and what we mean by “identity.”Chapter Six: More Theory, and A Closer Look at Erv’s Self-Experience.We find ways to speak of “here and now” that can enliven the concept.
