There is a growing awareness that people with disabilities comprise the largest minority group in the United States. As such, disability experts have articulated the social and cultural implications of disability. Some psychologists, in accordance with these views, have begun to develop culturally responsive therapy models. Psychoanalysis, though, has been generally dismissed in the construction of these models for its historically pathologizing views on disability. The result has been a lack of awareness about contemporary psychoanalytic theories that could be particularly relevant to working with people with disabilities. This research addresses a gap in knowledge and clinical technique for the therapist's use of self in disability responsive therapy. Through the examination and application of relational psychoanalytic theory, I show how therapists can help expand the awareness and understanding of subjectivity and interpersonal negotiation when working with clients with disabilities. Relational psychoanalysis is a school of psychoanalysis that emphasizes the primacy of human relationships, real and imagined, over the discharge or satisfaction of drives, as in classical psychoanalysis. The theories are far-reaching in scope and integrate aspects from many philosophical and literary traditions, different schools of psychoanalysis, and other psychotherapies. Using the clinical literature on psychology and disability, I analyze several clinical vignettes that feature interpersonal interactions between therapists and clients, highlighting the ways these moments have been interpreted in the literature. I then outline relational psychoanalytic theories pertaining to the contextual and constructive nature of human experience, particularly those relating to a "two-person" psychology, self-states, dissociation, recognition, and enactment. I expand on these principles to draw conclusions for working with people with physical disabilities. These principles are then applied to two extended clinical vignettes to show how therapists and clients co-construct and enact some of the difficulties for which the client enters therapy, as well as the paths to new understanding and awareness in the client's life. Integration of relational psychoanalytic principles greatly enhances the therapist's use of self to identify, negotiate, and work through similarities and differences between therapists and clients-with-disabilities that lead to enactments, which when examined, can open therapists and clients to increased understanding and relatedness in therapy, and in the client's life.
