Intersubjectivity
Intersubjectivity refers to the "common-sense," shared meanings constructed by people in their interactions with each other and used as an everyday resource to interpret the meaning of elements of social and cultural life. [1]
The French philopsopher Jean-Paul Sartre argued that in making choices in life we effectively make choices for all humans as what is chosen is always the better choice, and what is better for one is better for all. This is also called 'intersubjectivity'.
For Lacan, the analytic experience is a dialogue on the symbolic place of full speech, an interaction between two subjective desires.
The intersubjective relationship between the analysand and the analyst.
Psychoanalytic treatment as a symbolic interaction betwen two subjects.
Referring again to Freud’s explanation of transference in The Interpretation of Dreams (1900a), Lacan reported in the former text that ‘transference…gave its name to the mainspring of the intersubjective link between analyst and analysand’ (Lacan 1977g[1957]:170)
I am astounded that no-one has ever thought of objecting to me, given certain of the terms of my doctrine, that the transference alone is an objection to intersubjectivity. I even regret it, seeing that nothing is more true: it refutes it, it is its stumbling block.Lacan 1995b[1967]:4)
