The therapeutic encounter: how acupuncturists can make use of psychoanalysis
Description
EJOM (2019), Rossi, Elisa.
Abstract
The patient-acupuncturist relationship is one of the key issues in therapy. This article retraces some passages of the classics to introduce the psyoanalytic perspective on some dynamics that take place in the encounter. As acupuncturists we rely on different therapeutic instruments, but being aware of the unconscious forces encountered and recognised in psychoanalysis may assist our work. Starting from the discussion of transference, therapeutic alliance and empathy this paper will explore the space of the therapy and the therapist's yin attitudes of 'empty Heart', neutrality and just 'being there'.
