In this paper, I examine the influences of two philosophical theories of truth--coherence and correspondence--on the current debate on the search for 'common ground' and on specific aspects of clinical practice. Results from a previous empirical study of analysts' approaches to transference interpretation are described in order to illustrate the way in which a network of clinical concepts is held together by explicit and implicit beliefs concerning the nature of subjectivity, truth and reality. Excerpts from interviews of psychoanalysts of varying orientations practising in different geographical locations indicate the complex interrelationships between concepts of analytic neutrality, extra-transference, the real relationship, countertransference, the death instinct and the therapeutic alliance. These findings suggest that the coherence versus correspondence theories of truth may constrain rather than enhance the investigation of the differences and commonality between varying analytic theories, schools and clinical practices.
在本文中，我考察了两种真理哲学理论——融贯论和符合论——对当前关于寻求“共同基础”的辩论以及临床实践特定方面的影响。为了说明一个临床概念网络是如何通过关于主观性、真理和现实本质的明确和隐含信念而维系在一起的，文中描述了先前一项关于分析师进行移情解释方法的实证研究结果。对在不同地理位置执业的不同取向精神分析师的访谈摘录表明了分析中立性、移情外、真实关系、反移情、死亡本能和治疗联盟等概念之间的复杂相互关系。这些发现表明，真理的融贯论与符合论可能会限制而非促进对不同分析理论、流派和临床实践之间差异与共性的研究。
