Summary

Minkowski described the therapeutic relationship in terms of “two melodies being played simultaneously” (Minkowski, 1933/1970, p. 182). The final aim of therapy, in his view, was to establish a certain balance between these two melodies and grasp the patient's psyche. Accordingly, the therapeutic process should be conceived as a participatory experience , a dialogical, intercorporeal space (Fuchs, 2007) where the primary components are prereflective elements that converge into a participatory “we-subject.”
