This paper examines the limitations of the dyad as the prevailing conceptual model in psychoanalytic theory and clinical practice, and proposes the triad as a more relevant model. From an ontological perspective, triangulation is regarded as essential in the development of self-experience in psychic space. The Oedipus complex is visualised as a culminating event in a continuum of triadic experience rather than as the singular gravitational centerpiece of development. The role of the triad and triangulation in child development and clinical technique is discussed, with the phenomenon of 'tracking' selected to illustrate the limitations of an exclusively dyadic clinical focus.
本文探讨了二元组作为精神分析理论和临床实践中主流概念模型的局限性，并提出三元组作为更相关的模型。从本体论的角度来看，三角测量被视为心理空间中自我体验发展的关键。俄狄浦斯情结被视为三元体验连续体中的一个高潮事件，而不是发展的唯一引力核心。本文讨论了三元组和三角测量在儿童发展和临床技术中的作用，并选择“追踪”现象来说明仅关注二元组的临床焦点的局限性。
