ABSTRACT
Psychotherapy and psychoanalysis create a space in which mutual understanding and communication between the therapist and the individual may bring the possibility of unexpected improvements in the person's life. Several current studies focus our attention on the way a mother and a child look at each other. Their way of looking at one another creates a pre-symbolic interaction between mother and child. This pre-symbolic experience is stored in the child's unconscious, implicit, and procedural memory, which is developed before his autobiographical memory. Psychoanalysis has always regarded dreams as the best means to interpret the unconscious mind. Fonagy said that some dreams might be analysed with an idea that the patient produces dreams in the context of his relationship with the psychotherapist. The play in the form of a dialogue between mother and child, which started inside the mother's womb and continued after the baby's birth, is gradually transformed into the child's inner dialogue between his feelings and thoughts.
