Continuing the journey into existential psychoanalyst Otto Rank’s innovative later work, this article highlights his focus on the therapeutic relationship, the co-creative nature of the encounter, and his logic of complementarity. Spiced up with excursions into Eros and quantum holism. Drawing on my work on Rank to physicist, David Bohm, I also touch on my concept of a “therapeutic third”: a tacit dimension beyond concepts and categories, which is more existentially known than cognitively apprehended. This intermediary realm, or “tertium quid”,  serves as a mediating interface between mind and matter, client and therapist.
