Co-creation

A recent view about psychodynamic therapy is that what is created in the therapy is not simply the result of either party in the work (therapist & client) but is a co-creation in which each does a vital part.

Within a successful therapy, it will become apparent to both the client and the therapist that each has a significant part to play in the development of the therapeutic process.

The therapist is not entirely neutral because the therapist also has a subjective history from which to observe and make interpretations.
