This article explores intersubjective relatedness as a bipersonal field and bidirectional relationship. To this end, the author examines Maria Teresa Romanini’s (1999a, 1999b) model of ego states and the self and discusses it in light of various psychodynamic and relational approaches to psychotherapy (Baranger, Ogden, Bromberg, and Ferro). A clinical vignette illustrates the theory.
