Abstract
ABSTRACT This article is a response to Amanda Kottler’s discussion of my paper “Empathy on a Continuum.” I define my favored version of psychoanalysis as an experience about experience, in which the situations in the patient’s lifeworld are as important as the here-and-now situation between them in the telling. This version requires that the analyst engage the two forms of empathy described in my main article. But it also requires that analyst and patient meet each other in a virtual space of imaginative storying. I go on to to propose that this imaginative, experience-oriented psychoanalysis offers a more intuitive way to interact with patients around racial and cultural differences.
