title: House and psyche.
abstract: The theme of house and dwelling arises in psychotherapy as patients speak about their homes. Houses imply issues of containment, safety, entrapment, building, and hiding that also pertain to the experience of psychotherapy. This paper looks at the theme of dwelling with reference to clinical and literary sources in the hope of opening a fertile ground for therapeutic listening.
