Field theory is a family of related bi-personal psychoanalytic perspectives fall- ing into three principal models that developed relatively independently. One of the principal models is based upon the work of Madeleine and Willy Baranger. The second, constructed by Katz, draws upon what is held in common by the implicit field theories in the United States of the interpersonal, intersubjective, relational, and motivational systems psychoanalytic perspectives. The third is based upon the work of Antonino Ferro. Katz elucidates the conception of mind, unconscious pro- cesses, therapeutic goals, clinical techniques, and the specific field concept that each employs. The work illustrates the similarities and differences between the models.
