We find that the static field enhancement of dielectronic recombination may be strongly reduced by the interaction between resonances through common continua. The interaction effect is not limited to a few resonances but extends over whole n manifolds, thus it can significantly reduce the field enhancement of the total recombination rate. The standard lowest order theory is recast using a complex Hamiltonian to include higher order terms usually identified with interaction through common continua. We present calculations for C{sup 3+} and Si{sup 11+} using both time independent and time dependent configuration average methods. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
