Conversational studies on countertransference are becoming more and more popular as only the detailed microanalysis of what goes on in the session allows to identify hidden dimensions. Countertransference-aspects are addressed here in an important, but very indirect way. The “third- position”-utterance seems to come from a “resonating alignment” (Buchholz 2013) which produces a feeling in the analyst that something is still missing and that a further utterance should follow. “Something more” refers to what Stern et al. (1998) had termed “non-interpretative mechanisms”. So it seems that modern audio- and video technique, used by conversation analysts and “baby-watchers” since the 1960s in a similar way, really opens new horizons for the detailed analysis of what is really said and done in a psychoanalytic session. In a personal comment Peräyklä (2011a) debates how the (alleged) “anti-mentalism” of conversation analysis and the more introspective approach of psychoanalysis can be brought together on the basis of detailed observation. It seems that we might expect for the future a clarification of what the “clinical facts” (Tuckett 1994) of psychoanalysis are and how the future role of countertransference will be. G$#.1/.!
