Both intersubjectivity and marital & family therapy (MFT) place importance on relationships. Both emphasize problem-solving via communication, mutual understanding, establishing common views, and subjectivity. Moreover, the major goal of MFT is to facilitate the client\u2019s subjective maturity. In this study, the authors discuss the construct of \u201csubjective abilities,\u201d the abilities needed to construct subjectivity in one\u2019s life-world, which is comprised of \u201cindividual and relational capabilities.\u201d Furthermore, this article focuses on some insights inspired by applying practical ideas of intersubjectivity to MFT. These insights are illustrated through selective clinical case data. The authors believe that the field of MFT is a \u201chierarchical structure that promotes mutually growth,\u201d that the therapist makes use of therapeutic powers to enhance the client\u2019s \u201cindividual capabilities,\u201d which equips them with the attitude of communicative rationality (termed \u201cType 1 progress\u201d), and to reinforce the client\u2019s \u201crelational capability,\u201d which empowers them to conduct mutual growth interaction with others (termed \u201cType 2 progress\u201d). These practical experiences of promoting personal development (Type 1\u00a0progress) and relational growth (Type 2 progress) have both contributed to understanding the intra-psychic and interpersonal relational processes of human growth. The authors hope that these findings can both enrich the theory and practice of MFT and supplement the theories of intersubjectivity.<\/p>\n
