Lived Depth: Dimensionality & Thirdness in Psychoanalytic Process

Presenter: Jack Foehl, PhD

Discussant: Lyn Yonack, LCSW

Psychoanalysis has used the metaphor of depth from the very beginning. Freud (1913) noted that one cannot “deny the concept of a psychical dimension of depth…without denying the standpoint of psycho-analysis” (p. 275). Rather than using depth as a “vertical” metaphor referring to the hidden, remote or regressed, I use depth as a “horizontal” metaphor referring to the dimensionality of experience, to the ways in which all experience is structured in a figure-ground relationship. Dimensionality, first introduced by Meltzer and Bick, takes on new meaning when seen as depth, offering an embodied and lived experience of thirdness, where psychopathology is to be understood as various “disorders of thirdness” in the clinical setting. Using clinical examples, I will suggest that psychoanalytic process is a field phenomenon, that rather than treat the patient, our attention is best focused on expanding depth-of-field.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Summarize the difference between depth as a vertical concept from depth as a horizonal concept.
  2. Compare one, two and three-dimensionality as modes of being in psychoanalytic process.
  3. Describe how considerations of dimensionality change the nature of psychoanalytic technique.
