We would like to refer to the work of Mark Kingwell, the self-styled philosopher of furniture, who argues for the organic and living material character of many elements we like to think of as rigid and fixed. Thinking along these lines, if we change the frame or the materiality of the analytic room we are likely to find that the therapeutic process is changed as well. ...

Once we have liberated the concept of the frame from its prosaic, static structure and function, as all of these papers attest to, something crucial and potentially mutative is necessarily destabilized and unleashed. Often it is in the work of restabilizing the frame that allows powerful change to occur in the treatment.
