Abstract:Freud used the idea of “evenly hovering attention” to describe how therapists might attend to both the conscious and unconscious of their patients; Bion and his followers used the term “reverie”. In this paper, the concept of reverie is reviewed and discussed as a core tool for the psychotherapist, that is, if one accepts the idea that the task of psychotherapy may be to help clients or patients learn how to make sense of their inner life of thinking and feeling.
