This chapter explores the foundational role of ethical experience in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy, from the perspective of theory as well as technique. The author reviews seminal ethical constructs across the range of analytic perspectives, including classical psychoanalysis, object relations theory, self-psychology, and contemporary relational/intersubjective thought. While all forms of psychotherapy recognize the importance of ethically grounded principles of care, psychoanalysis is unique in its theorizing about the relevance of ethics to fundamental aspects of the clinical process itself, including therapeutic goals, therapeutic outcomes, and “how change happens” in psychotherapy. These areas of theory are surveyed, along with some basic ethical tensions generated by defining aspects of psychodynamic praxis: the ethics of unconscious exploration, the ethics of “working in the transference,” the ethics of exploratory technique, and the ethics of treatment intensity.

The relationship between psychiatrists and psychotherapists is a complicated one. It has become no easier as mental health services have come under increasing strain over recent years, with pervasive bureaucratisation and the introduction of market forces. I aim in this article to elucidate the roles that a psychodynamic psychotherapy service can play as an integral part of a general psychiatric service in addition to its specialist treatment functions. I also explore some of the reasons why psychotherapy and general psychiatric services are still not fully integrated, thus failing to provide the most effective range of treatments and enhance the effectiveness of mental health staff in all settings in the delivery of those treatments.
