No / This paper examines what the originally psychoanalytic concept of reverie can add to non-psychoanalytic practitioners’ understandings of empathy. It uses case material from a study into UK therapists’ experiences of reverie, which centres on a single moment in a session, when an image of her own living room flashed suddenly through a therapist’s mind. Reverie – a capacity to contain the other’s unprocessed emotional experiencing - can offer a magnifying lens through which to view some forms of empathy, revealing the relational, embodied and imaginative materials from which they are constructed. The paper links shared experiencing like that found in reverie with simulative accounts of empathy, but does not claim this enables us to experience exactly what the other feels; rather, when approached sensitively, tentatively and with clients’ needs foremost, it can foster deep connection, enabling us, as it were, to enter others’ inner worlds – perhaps even their living rooms - and make ourselves at home there. Finally, practical ways to work empathically with reverie are suggested, which may interest therapists from a range of modalities, including humanistic approaches.

Yes / According to the theory of predictive processing, understanding in the present involves non-consciously representing the immediate future, based on probabilistic inference shaped by learning from the past. This paper suggests links between this neuroscientific theory and the psychoanalytic concept of reverie–an empathic, containing attentional state–and considers implications for the ways therapists intuit implicit material in their clients. Using findings from a study about therapists’ experiences of this state, we propose that reverie can offer practitioners from diverse theoretical backgrounds a means to enter the predictive moment deeply, making use of its subtle contents to connect with clients.

Yes / Background: in contrast to dominant approaches to therapy research that look at outcomes and focus on large samples, another primary strand of research considers microphenomenal processes and focuses on small samples. This paper contributes to the latter genre in regard to the implicit impact of language. Aim: this paper aims to apply relational psychotherapeutic thinking about empathic dialogue, specifically the concepts of reflective-verbal language and reverie, to qualitative interviewing. Methodology: an example from a small-scale study about emotionally-evocative language is reviewed in detail, focusing on the interviewer’s phenomenological experience of her conversation with a participant in a qualitative interview. Findings: the authors argue that the interviewer’s reflexive awareness of her reveries and the reflective-verbal nature of the research dialogue, gave her an alternative perspective on the participant’s (and her own) experience. Implications: the paper highlights the value within research and practice of maintaining awareness of language at a microphenomenal level, using techniques based on the principles of psychological therapy.

Yes / The researcher’s reflexive use of self forms part of a well-established tradition in counselling and psychotherapy research. This paper reviews that tradition briefly, with particular reference to an approach known as ‘practitioner-based research’ that has developed from it. In this approach, researcher-practitioners use their therapeutic skills and judgement and thereby enrich their understanding of research participants, themselves and their relationship. Aim: The paper aims to contribute to the practitioner-based approach by showing how it can impact on data collection, using an example from a qualitative interview. Methodology: A moment of interaction between a participant and a therapy researcher in a qualitative interview is examined, framed within psychotherapeutic intersubjectivity theory. The researcher’s reflexive awareness of micro-aspects of the relationship with the participant is reviewed, captured in their language and the split-second daydreams or reveries that arose as they interacted. Findings: The authors argue that the approach enhanced this small-scale study by intensifying the researcher’s engagement with the participant and enriching her understanding of their relationship and the subject under investigation. Implications: The paper highlights the unique value and contribution that this approach offers to therapy research and practice.

[pt] Nesta dissertação procuramos investigar a incapacidade de brincar observada na clínica com crianças. Através da obra de Winnicott refletimos sobre o lugar do brincar para a psicanálise e sua relevância para o desenvolvimento emocional primitivo saudável. Em um paralelo com a obra de Wilfred Bion, apontamos a similaridade entre pensar e brincar enquanto capacidades pré-simbólicas, desenvolvidas nos primórdios da vida a partir da relação com o ambiente, principalmente pelas funções denominadas holding e rêverie. Ressaltamos a importância do lugar do analista diante das dificuldades na formação do espaço transicional, a partir de uma postura de analista suficientemente bom. / [en] In this dissertation we will discuss the children s inability to play observed in a clinic. Through Winnicott s work, we can reflect on the importance of playing for psychoanalysis and its relevance to healthy primitive emotional development. Parallel Wilfred Bion s work, we point out the similarities between thinking and playing as pre-symbolic capacities, developed from the relation with the environment in the beginnings of life, mainly by the functions denominated holding and rêverie. The importance of the analyst s place facing difficulties in the formation of the transitional space, from a sufficiently good analyst posture.

For this phenomenologist the poetic image is a new being of language that deeply enlightens our conscience, making the literary creation one of the destinations of the word. This makes the poet is seen as a special issuer, whom diction opens a future of language. The poetic image is established as a kind of valve that releases the perception and provides deep dazzle to the reader, for it is through the imagination that our souvenirs are rebuilt in discontinuous and lacunar temporal movements, providing us,through the work of art, the insertion in the creative moment of revival.The necessary theoretical basis for this work was also based on studies of lyrical from Octavio Paz, which deals with significant multiple faces of the poetic word. These studies assumed a gloomy and unprecedented universe in which the unpredictable meanings are established in the interstices between words. Thus, we seek to show the poetic transcendence in lyric of Gilberto Mendonça Teles, from reverie and expressive power of images that allow the poet a dilation of the semantics of the words, so that they are able to reveal the essence of the lyric voice transformed into language. / Esta dissertação propõe um estudo da lírica de Gilberto Mendonça Teles e tem como objetivo mostrar a importância da imagem e da imaginação no processo criativo de sua lírica sob o ponto de vista da fenomenologia de Gaston Bachelard. Para esse fenomenólogo, a imagem poética é um novo ser da linguagem que ilumina profundamente a nossa consciência, tornando a criação literária um dos destinos da palavra. Isso faz com que o poeta seja visto como um emissor especial, em quem a dicção abre um porvir da linguagem. A imagem poética instaura-se como uma espécie de válvula que libera a percepção e propicia um profundo encantamento ao leitor, pois é pela imaginação que as nossas recordações são reconstruídas nos descontínuos e lacunares movimentos temporais, proporcionando-nos, por meio da obra de arte, a inserção nos instantes criativos da revivência. A fundamentação teórica necessária para a realização deste trabalho baseou-se também nos estudos sobre a lírica de Octavio Paz, que trata da plurifacialidade significativa da palavra poética. Esses estudos pressupõem um universo sombrio e inaudito em que os significados imprevisíveis instauram-se nos interstícios das palavras. Assim, buscamos mostrar a transcendência poética na lírica de Gilberto Mendonça Teles, a partir dos devaneios e da força expressiva de imagens que possibilitam ao poeta uma dilatação da semântica das palavras, para que elas sejam capazes de revelar a essência da voz lírica transformada em linguagem.

This research also analyzes how the lyrical I in these two works develops the poetic steps having the idealization for love through the paths of reverie and at the same time having the idea of escape from suffering sweet through the poetic creation comprising, in turn, the dynamics of duality that occurs between the terms: life and death, suffering and happiness coming to Mystic aspect of love andsuffering that brings a collection of lyrical I poems known as "Semana Santa", and having as theoretical support for the present analysis of this survey the archetype of Northorp Frye and imaginary theory. / A proposta desta pesquisa tem como base a compreensão da formação poética de Leodegária de Jesus, bem como sua tentativa de construção dos primeiros versos com o apoio da família e a publicação das duas obras: Coroa de lírios e Orquídeas. Esta pesquisa também analisa como o eu lírico, nestas duas obras, desenvolve os passos poéticos tendo a idealização referente ao amor, passando pelos caminhos do devaneio e, ao mesmo tempo, tendo a ideia da fuga do sofrimento amoroso por meio da criação poética. A autora, por sua vez, através do eu lírico demonstra a compreensão da dinâmica da dualidade que se dá entre os termos: vida e morte, sofrimento e felicidade chegando ao aspecto místico do amor e do sofrimento. Esses aspectos revelam o eu lírico numa coletânea de poemas conhecidos como Semana Santa . Para o alcance dos objetivos propostos para a realização deste estudo dissertativo, temos como suporte teórico o arquétipo de Northorp Frye e a teoria do imaginário.

It presents the formation of the libraries, of the knowledge, of the truths, at different times: in the Renaissance, in the antiquity, in the Classical Era and in the Modernity. To avoid the risk of being lost in time and by the forgetfulness, brackets to house and preserve the sayings that were written in clay, stone, metal, wood, leather, papyrus, parchment, paper and virtual are presented in different historical period. It is also examined the functioning of the school towards politically passive society (panoptic), for which Foucault instigates the intellectual (the educator) to resist the prescribed truths because they have expiration dates. And through language, it gives voice to the library that has long been and is still denied to silence. The library is the space of scientific and poetic knowledge (slope almost silenced by the theories applied in the school). The library as a possibility of discovery has been a place devoid of life. When it is asked whether the libraries, especially the public ones, contribute to the formation of male and female readers, this study brought to light, a discouraged affirmative, alias, a negative. Like in a tripod, the theoretical support came primarily from the works of Bachelard, Chartier and Foucault. / Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar as concepções e as funções da biblioteca ao longo do tempo e verificar como a produção de verdades atua no campo da educação, evidenciando que a biblioteca, como produto social, também se encontra permeada por relações de poder e ainda, compreender a dimensão poética do conhecer. Apresenta a constituição das bibliotecas, dos saberes, das verdades, em diferentes épocas: na Renascença, na Antiguidade, na Idade Clássica e na Modernidade. Para não correr o risco de se perder no tempo e pelo esquecimento, apresentam-se em diferentes momentos históricos, suportes para abrigar e conservar os ditos, que foram escritos em: barro, pedra, metal, madeira, pele, papiro, pergaminho, papel e virtual. Buscou também analisar o funcionamento da escola diante da sociedade politicamente passiva (panótica), para o qual Foucault instiga ao intelectual (educadora e educador) a resistir às verdades prescritas, pois elas têm prazo de validade. E por meio da linguagem, dar voz à biblioteca que durante muito tempo foi e ainda é renegada ao silêncio, biblioteca esta que é o espaço do conhecimento científico e poético (vertente quase silenciada pelas teorias aplicadas no âmbito escolar). A biblioteca como possibilidade de descoberta tem sido um lugar sem vida. Ao interrogar se as bibliotecas, especialmente as bibliotecas públicas, contribuem para a formação de leitores e leitoras o presente estudo trouxe à tona, uma afirmativa desanimadora, ou melhor, uma negativa. Como num tripé, o suporte teórico, veio principalmente das obras de Bachelard, de Chartier e de Foucault.

Therefore, the theoretical framework that guides us consists primarily of the works of Mikhail Bakhtin - particularly the philosophical theory contained in Toward a Philosophy of the Act (2010a) and his theory of aesthetics of the novel contained mainly in Questions of Literature and Aesthetics (2010b) - as well as the epistemological studies of Gaston Bachelard, especially the works The New Scientific Spirit (1988), The Philosophy of No (1991) and The poetics of reverie (1988b). Reading these authors we intended to understand concepts we consider as parallel, such as daydreaming and dreams, dialogism and philosophical epistemological plurality, dialectical pluralism; these concepts were vital so we could consider our object as a meeting between the daytime and nighttime, a discourse that walks along the horizon during dusk and dawn. Thus, we list some elements of the work that we understand as essential for the analysis, as the way the main character was built, the explicit context of the work, how the scientific and philosophical plurality of time presents itself. / O principal intuito de nosso trabalho é empreender um estudo do romance Sonhos de Einstein, de Alan Lightman, de modo a explorar seu potencial discursivo no que diz respeito ao encontro dos elementos do diurno e do noturno, correspondentes, na bela metáfora bachelardiana, ao exercício da escrita literária e da atividade científica. Para tanto, o referencial teórico que nos orienta compõem-se, primordialmente, das obras de Mikhail Bakhtin – principalmente a teoria filosófica que esboça em Para uma filosofia do ato responsável (2010a) e sua teoria da estética do romance contida principalmente em Questões de literatura e estética (2010b) – bem como os estudos epistemológicos de Gaston Bachelard, sobretudo as obras O novo espírito científico (1988), A filosofia do não (1991) e A poética do devaneio (1988b). Buscamos na leitura desses autores conceitos que entendemos serem paralelos, como, devaneio e sonhos, dialogia e pluralidade filosófica epistemológica, dialética do plural e polifilosofia; esses foram primordiais para que pudéssemos olhar nosso objeto como um encontro entre o diurno e o noturno, um discurso que vagueia pela horizonte durante o crepúsculo e o alvorecer. Elencamos,a partir daí, alguns elementos da obra que entendemos como primordiais para esse modelo de análise, como a forma construtiva do personagem principal, o contexto explícito na obra, a forma como a pluralidade cientifica e filosófica do tempo se apresenta.
