ABSTRACT
Now moments and moments of meeting are concepts derived from careful observation of mother-infant interaction using a theoretical frame that employs implicit knowing and nondeterminate sloppy processing. This dyadically derived construct has been transported and applied to the therapeutic dyad by Daniel Stern and his colleagues at the Boston Change Process Study Group (BCPSG) as a means to understand the something more that complements classically modeled psychoanalytic interpretation in promoting change. Tracking the origin, development and application of this idea opens the concept to scrutiny and will permit testing of its explanatory power, its flaws, and offer direction for future study.
