Notes

1. Translated into English by Tim Davies.

2. This paper forms part of a series of Education papers on Intersubjectivity: see H.P. Schwartz , “Intersubjectivity and dialecticism”, IJP 93 (2012): 401‐425.

3. On this point, cf. also Schwartz (Citation2012).

4. As conceptions akin to his intersubjective view of the analytical relationship, he names Bion's and Green's work on the analytic object and the Barangers' concept of the analytic field. His concept of the third, according to Ogden, must not be mixed up with a triadic competence that arises as a result of the oedipal triangulation. The same also applies to Benjamin's conception of a third.

5. Binswanger's works are available in German in a four‐volume edition, in English in an anthology (Citation1963): Being‐in‐the‐World: Selected Papers of Ludwig Binswanger. Cf. also Freud‐Binswanger‐Briefwechsel [Correspondence] (Freud and Binswanger, Citation1992), Theunissen (Citation1977), Herzog and Braun (Citation1993), Frie (Citation2002, Citation2003).

6. Argelander's Citation1970a work has been published (2013) in English as ‘The scenic function of the ego and its role in symptom and character formation’ in the International Journal of Psychoanalysis with an introduction by Werner Bohleber and a discussion by Leon Balter.

7. Translator's note: It should perhaps be borne in mind here that the German word ‘Szene’ and related adjective ‘szenisch’ also mean ‘stage’ and ‘stage related/staged’ rather than ‘scenic’ in the conventional English sense, but I have used the translation adopted in the literature.

8. For reasons of space I cannot go into Alfred Lorenzer's conception of the scene and the scenic interaction forms. I have detailed them in Bohleber (Citation2010).

9. Their main paper is reprinted in the International Journal of Psychoanalysis 89, 2008, with introductions by Beatriz de León de Bernardi and John Churcher.

10. There is an evident similarity here with Argelander's concept of the scene.

11. I am unable to discuss this problem in any more detail here; it has called for a work of its own.

12. Brown works in the USA und hence belongs in the North American context, but the concepts he develops would seem to suggest classifying him here.

13. I cannot go into detail here about Jean Laplanche's conception of an ‘anthropological basic situation’, which also generates a double alterity (Laplanche, Citation1988, Citation1992).

14. There is no English translation of his works. A short overview of his concept will be found in Scharff and Scharff (Citation2011).

15. This third should not be confused with the third as an intersubjective form of relationship.
