Abstract
Bringing the Plague highlights the relation between postmodern theory and technique. I explore Layton's application of postmodernism's concern with the analyst's subjectivity and subject relation position in her discussion of a male analyst's treatment of a female patient. Arguing for a pragmatic therapeutic approach, I dispute the efficacy of being excessively transparent in certain instances. After outlining implicit tenets of relational and postmodern theories, I highlight the importance of ensuring that theoretical belief systems do not blunt our sensitivity to patients' therapeutic needs.
