在这本关于精神分析、诠释学和社会建构主义的强有力的、令人惊叹的沉思录中,Donnel Stern探讨了两种基本经验之间的关系:明确的语言反思和“未表达的经验”,或者说我们尚未反思和付诸语言的经验。斯特恩特别关注的是我们如何将未表述的东西表述出来。他认为,这不是一项工具性的任务,而是一项需要开放和好奇心的任务;这一过程的结果不仅仅是准确性,而是深刻感受和充分想象的体验。斯特恩认为显性语言经验是不断建构的,是突现的,这导致了他作品核心的中心辩证法:一方面是好奇心和想象力,另一方面是对熟悉事物的解离和不假思索的接受。他认为,精神分析工作的目标是好奇的自由,而辩护则意味着对这种自由的否定。我们对自己会想什么的恐惧进行防御,也就是说,如果我们允许自己自由思考的话。斯特恩还展示了无意识本身是如何被解释学重新概念化的,他继续探索这种观点对解释和反移情的影响。他特别有说服力地展示了不断变化的人际场如何限制参与者反思的经验。因此,分析师和患者一起“陷入了场的控制”,往往无法看到他们相互参与的那种相关性。《未公式化的经验》是诠释学思维的临床后果的一个精彩示范,它证实了斯特恩的信念,即精神分析既是关于发现旧经验,也是关于揭示新经验
In this powerful and wonderfully accessible meditation on psychoanalysis, hermeneutics, and social constructivism, Donnel Stern explores the relationship between two fundamental kinds of experience: explicit verbal reflection and "unformulated experience," or experience we have not yet reflected on and put into words. Stern is especially concerned with the process by which we come to formulate the unformulated. It is not an instrumental task, he holds, but one that requires openness and curiosity; the result of the process is not accuracy alone, but experience that is deeply felt and fully imagined. Stern's sense of explicit verbal experience as continuously constructed and emergent leads to a central dialectic at the heart of his work: that between curiosity and imagination, on one hand, and dissociation and unthinking acceptance of the familiar on the other. The goal of psychoanalytic work, he holds, is the freedom to be curious, whereas defense signifies the denial of this freedom. We defend against our fear of what we would think, that is, if we allowed ourselves the freedom to think it. Stern also shows how the unconscious itself can be reconceptualized hermeneutically, and he goes on to explore the implications of this viewpoint on interpretation and countertransference. He is especially persuasive in showing how the interpersonal field, which is continuously in flux, limits the experience that it is possible for participants to reflect on. Thus it is that analyst and patient are together "caught in the grip of the field," often unable to see the kind of relatedness in which they are mutually involved. A brilliant demonstration of the clinical consequentiality of hermeneutic thinking, Unformulated Experience bears out Stern's belief that psychoanalysis is as much about the revelation of the new in experience as it is about the discovery of the old
