The ’relational turn ’in contemporary psychoanalysis and psychotherapy dates back to the 1980s.
In the US the work of Mitchell, Greenberg, Benjamin, Aron, Davies, Ghent and others mounted a major challenge to the orthodoxies of American psychoanalysis, particularly Ego Psychology. Its early influences included Fairbairn and British Object Relations theorists. The relational approach can also trace a line back to Freud’s contemporaries Otto Gross and Sandor Ferenczi – and also to C.G. Jung.
