The Second Person

Faculty, Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis, Department of Psychiatry, Rush Medical School

Unlike third-person sciences, psychoanalysis is the science of the second person. Briefly tracing the history of our focus on a second person, this paper contrasts two different approaches-the dyadic and the dialogic, proposing the latter as the better model for our field and the one that marks our unique contribution to other disciplines.
