The Analyst's Reveries

Description
After searching for the roots of the analyst's use of reverie in Bion's work and questioning whether in this regard Bion was a Bionian, Busch carefully examines the work of some post-Bionians and finds both convincing ways to think about the usefulness and limitations of the analyst's use of reverie. He explores questions including:
From what part of the mind does a reverie emerge?
How does its provenance inform its transformative possibilities?
Do we over-generalize in conceptualizing what is unrepresented, with the corresponding problem of false positives?
Do dreams equal understanding and what about the generalizability of the co-created reverie?
Busch concludes that it is primarily through the analyst's own associations that the reverie's potential is revealed, which further helps the analyst distinguish it from many other possibilities, including the analyst's countertransference. He believes in the importance of converting reveries into verbal interpretations, a controversial point amongst post-Bionians. Busch ends with the difficult task of classifying the analyst's reveries based on their degree of representation.
The Analyst's Reveries will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists.
