Abstract
The therapeutic encounter becomes transformational through the creation of potential space, dialectics, reflective function, mindfulness or mentalization. This paper dialogues these concepts as employed by different therapeutic modalities within New Zealand, namely; Object-relations (Thomas Ogden and Donald Winnicott), the Conversational Model (Russell Meares), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (Marsha Linehan) and Mentalization (Anthony Bateman and Peter Fonagy). It suggests that there is sufficient common ground to view them as one concept in different therapeutic bottles.
