What is unique about the way a psychoanalytic psychotherapist clinician listens? By allowing clients to introduce topics without interference, the clinician listens to the client’s story, mode of communication and the story that is not being told. The untold story is analyzed silently as the unconscious communication is reported in dreams, projections, defense mechanisms, resistances and transference communications. After listening attentively, the clinician intervenes with questions, not interpretations, in order to empower the client and strengthen the ego.
