January 31, 2020 — Reverie and Subjectivity
[46 pages]
How much should we rely on our own subjectivity as a guide to the unconscious processes of our patients? Here are two examples of the role that reverie and countertransference can play in our work. Can you think of times when your thoughts have led you to a new insight about a patient? Or perhaps, as Jacobs discusses, a sign of blindness or confusion? How do we make the best use of our subjectivity?
