The philosopher Paul Ricoeur famously attributed to Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud, “the three great destroyers,” what he called a “hermeneutics of suspicion.”  By this he meant interpreting down or disparagingly, reading people’s motives as if they were up to no good.   In the case of Freud, we see this method not only in his case studies but most explicitly in his On Negation (1925), where he taught us to read every statement of a patient as meaning the opposite of what the person consciously intended to say.  We could easily claim that most strains of relational psychoanalysis have replaced this hermeneutics of suspicion with what Gadamer and Ricoeur have called a “hermeneutics of trust,” where both analyst and patient, ever since Ferenczi, take each other more seriously and sincerely.   The hermeneutics of trust has special applicability to situations of extreme psychological devastation (trauma) and to the psychoses. The hermeneutics of trust becomes a relational form of understanding that heals within a human connection. This workshop will further address the nourishing of those spiritual resources needed to work within a hermeneutics of trust.
