ABSTRACT
Can we imagine a perceptive organ, equivalent to the eyes for seeing or the ears for hearing, as a psychic place where the intuition of mental qualities and psychic facts is formed, as an “object” imbued with love and hate? On the other hand, the suggestion of a spatial dimension is included in Bion’s further expansion of the concept of reverie. The A conceives this functional space as a mental disposition typical of the analyst that can be activated in the specific conditions of the setting in the analytic situation and in the relationship with the patient, just like in a mother reverie, the primary maternal preoccupation can emerge at the birth of a baby. This area is conceived as the analyst’s internal setting. As a mosaic of elements and factors visualizing with the mind’s eye. This constellation is applied as well to the supervision setting.
