Abstract

ABSTRACT The author traces the evolution of the concept, optimal responsiveness, and delineates its current meaning in the context of dyadic process. He describes and illustrates how attending to the specificity of salience within emergent process significantly illuminates responsiveness that may be optimal. In keeping with the theme of the Journal’s issue, freedom and free will, the author considers how they may apply to optimal responsiveness in psychoanalytic practice.
