Opis

What is it to listen? How do we hear? And how do we allow meanings to emerge between each other? This book examines what Freud called 'freely' or 'evenly suspended attention', a form of listening or receptive incomprehension which is fundamental and mandatory for the practice of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.
