participants. Dryzun illustrates different aspects of sharing within a circumscribed relational space. She highlights the phenomena of the meeting of minds between two subjects who are willing to connect and share subjective states. Such sharing performs the role of mutual recognition and affirmation in the context of a perspective focused on the crossroads of the intrapsychic and intersubjective worlds. Additionally, numerous analysts active at universities and institutes of various Argentinian provinces have made the intersubjectively relevant syntheses of Freud, Winnicott, Piera Aulagnier, and Lacan, applied to conceptualizations of narcissism, self-esteem, shame and depression. Among them are Luis Hornstein, Roberto Arendar (2014) Jorge Rodríguez, Daniel Daniel and Eduardo Smalinsky, Alberto Samperisi and Elena Toranzo, and others. Followers of Bowlby’s attachment theory are also growing. Mario Marrone, Elsa Wolfberg, Eliana Montuori, Ines diBártolo, Costanza Duhalde, Maria P. Allona, and Juan R. Aguilar, writing from this perspective, belong to the Argentine chapter of International Attachment Network (IAN), referenced, among others in Lorena Muñoz-Muñoz (2017) paper on “Self regulation and attachment in childhood”. In Chile, Juan F. Jordán-Moore (2008), one of the founders of International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy (IARPP) in Chile, based his approach on Humberto Maturana’s (1978) and Jose Antonio Infante’s (1968) contextual perspectives. Starting from phenomenology’s criticism of positivism’s attempt to eliminate the observer’s subjectivity, this author stresses the role of phenomenology in our understanding of the other in a way that is not mediated by conscious representations. Such an approach, claims Jordán, suggests the existence of a corporeal subject and a basic primary intersubjectivity in phenomenological empathy. The intersubjective approach in Chilean psychoanalysis (ie. Rojas Jerez, Fernández Depetris and others) incorporate the ideas of Jung and the Gestalt school, as well as of Eastern philosophies (especially Buddhism in relation to mindfulness) and psychodrama. This synthetic approach is exemplified by André Sassenfeld’s (2012) thorough discussion of relational thought. In 2017 Sassenfeld published El espacio hermenéutico [The Hermeneutic Space], a synthetic exploration of intersections between philosophy and relational psychoanalysis, with the prologue written by Donna Orange, who underscores that his synthesis is rooted in his knowledge of history of philosophy, especially of existentialism, phenomenology, and hermeneutics, and in his fluency with both German and with North American philosophies and psychoanalysis in their original languages. In Brazil, contributions of Eizirik (2002) and Belmont (2016) exemplify focus on application of relational theories and intersubjective approach to rich clinical material. In Mexico, where Erik Fromm lived and trained the whole generation of analysts between 1950 and 1974, Juan Tubert-Oklander and R. Hernández de Tubert (2003) created another synthetic version of an intersubjective school, reformulating Pichon-Rivière and Searles’s ideas, and combining them with Winnicott’s and Kohut’s (Tubert-Oklander J. 2006). Their many positional theoretical and clinical papers can be accessed on the pages of Aperturas
