The dialogical dimension in therapists' dreams about their patients.
The author develops a conception of the dialogical dimension in therapists' dreams about their patients by using elements of Martin Buber's dialogue philosophy, particularly "Inclusion." By way of illustration, the author discusses one of her cases, and a dream she had about her patient, "The Dream of the Meeting." The dream is interpreted along the lines of the classical countertransference interpretation, the projective identification and the uncovering of the dialogical dimension. The use of dreams as part of "Inclusion" therapy is then discussed.
