The fiction of the "self" - Relevant or not?

I was reading an article on the relational paradigm and how it is developing conceptually all over the world when I came across this thought that we should acknowledge the fiction of the ‘self’ – that this concept of the individual is no longer relevant to therapy. I found myself agreeing and yet uncomfortable with the statement and it’s taken a few days to put my finger on what it is that makes me uncomfortable, and it is this:

The wording to me implies the abandonment of one concept, ie: the individual in the favour of the concept of the relational paradigm. I see it more as a spectrum oscillating between the individual and the relational – two sides of the same coin as it were. To abandon one of those indivisible sides in the favour of the other puts us surely right back at square one which is a concept, rather than concepts in relationship to each other…just as we can be seen as individual humans rather than humans experienced in relation to each other!
