The analyst’s reveries have become a central component of analytic understanding in the last few decades. They have the potential for understanding thoughts, feelings, and unthought thoughts unavailable through other methods. However, it has not been so clear that there is a great deal of ambiguity as to what a reverie actually is, and how it might best be used in the clinical situation. In this paper the author outlines the clinical approaches of Ogden, Ferro and Rochas de Barros to see their similarities and differences. A clinical case will be presented to suggest a model for the analyst’s us of her reveries. Audio CDs: 1 | | Audio CD | | $18.00 | | $18.00 | |
