精神分析對(duì)話建立于1991年，其前提是在多元化的精神分析世界中，已經(jīng)形成了一系列重疊的視角，將自我和他人的關(guān)系結(jié)構(gòu)，真實(shí)的和幻想的，作為人類動(dòng)機(jī)和心理動(dòng)力學(xué)解釋的主要單位。 這些觀點(diǎn)出現(xiàn)在人際精神分析中; 英國對(duì)象關(guān)系理論; 自我心理學(xué); 嬰兒期研究和兒童發(fā)展的經(jīng)驗(yàn)傳統(tǒng); 當(dāng)代弗洛伊德思想的某些潮流。 這種共同的關(guān)系模型已經(jīng)提供了一個(gè)激活的框架，在其中可以定位和開發(fā)臨床貢獻(xiàn)。

Launched in 1991, Psychoanalytic Dialogues was founded on the premise that within the diverse world of psychoanalysis there had developed a set of overlapping perspectives that regarded relational configurations of self and others, real and fantasied, as the primary units of human motivation and psychodynamic explanation. These perspectives emerged within interpersonal psychoanalysis; British objct relations theories; self psychology; the empirical traditions of infancy research and child development; and certain currents of contemporary Freudian thought. This common relational model has come to provide a vitalizing framework within which clinical contributions can be situated and developed.
