Such epistemological and methodological issues and controversies have a wide applicability, across psychoanalytic regions, theoretical orientations and research areas. In various ways, they are applicable to Infant ‘Strange Situation’ research studies of Attachment by Mary Ainsworth et al. (Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters and Wall, 1978); Beatrice Beebe’s Theory of Interaction (Beebe 2000), drawing on Bateson’s (1972) Ecological models, constructing a method of close video-monitoring of mother-infant and therapist dyads/triads; Neuropsychoanalytic studies (Balbernie, 2001; Shevrin et al. 2013); Otto Kernberg’s (2015) study on Neurological Correlates of Object Relations Theory; Leo Rangell’s (1971) Unconscious Decision Making Function, synthesizing Information Processing theories and psychoanalytic studies of the Unconscious Ego functioning; Matte Blanco’s (1959) conceptualizations of ‘Unconscious Logic’ and ‘Bi-Logic’, combining mathematical logic theorems to enrich Freud’s formulations of the Unconscious and Primary process, and many others. In another broad sense, the Liberman’s Theory of Communication and its current evolution also inspires and reflects the contemporary trend within psychoanalysis towards the inter-subjective and inter-psychic ‘unconsciously communicative’ perspective, in addition to the intrapsychic one. It was already the ambition and intension of the founder of psychoanalysis to demystify the human psyche and put the in-depth understanding of its unconscious workings on a scientific basis. The Theory of Communication of David Lieberman is an original, vital and widely applicable contribution in such continuous quest.
