Both self psychology and attachment theory have shed new light on the nuances of the psychoanalytic relationship. Creative thinkers in self psychology both overlap and disagree in their understanding of the psychoanalytic process. In this panel we will hear, and discuss, differing points of view about the evolution of self psychology and its integration of ideas from attachment theory and from developmental system theory.
