Abstract
In this article I track the shift in my practice from the ‘analytic’ towards a ‘relational’. I contrast the positivist stance of the classical analyst with a post-modernist stance of the relationist. I argue that whilst the ‘analytic’ norm requires the therapist to be opaque and detached, the ‘relational’ stance requires the therapist to be involved and transparent. I suggest that a form of radical uncertainty is at the heart of the therapeutic process. I argue for the therapist navigating the turbulent waters of radical uncertainty not through composed neutrality, but through a value-laden commitment to their partial sense of things in the moment.
