Each of these panels addressed the theme of <em>Reconceptualizing the Clinical Experience</em> from a different perspective: Panel I from the standpoint of the self-selfobject matrix; Panel II from the standpoint of intersubjectivity; Panel III from the standpoint of motivational systems and affect theory.

Alan Kindler was the chair of Panel IV, which also included Paul Ornstein, Robert Stolorow, and Joe Lichtenberg.
