Abstract
The author discusses the role of metaphor in organizing the analyst's experience and contrasts the metaphor of “polyrhythmic weave” offered by Steven Knoblauch, with a musical metaphor rooted in dissonance, uncertainty, and a decentered analytic presence. The author discusses the advantage of each metaphor and how they might be complementary.
