In his 1978–79 article, "Concerning
Transference and Countertransference", Searles continued exploring intersubjectivity, building on his belief that "all patients...have the ability to 'read the unconscious' of the therapist". Searles emphasized the importance of the therapist's acknowledging the

Searles' wife, Sulvii "Sylvia" Manninen a nurse of
