Through the literary explorations and poetry of Alice Oswald, and through analysis of detailed clinical material from a Kleinian perspective, the authors expand the bounds of reverie as it is usually construed in psychoanalytic consulting rooms. The authors draw attention to the presence of a relationship to the more-than-human world as an integral aspect of our internal experience, and to the value of consideration of the quality and dynamic meaning of connections to the natural world in ordinary analytic work. The relationship to the primary object heavily influences the form taken by the relationship to the natural world, but once established, this connection has the possibility for a life of its own, that can provide a different kind of containment than the human variety, allow experimentation with new ways of being, and can strengthen the ego. The authors address the clinical implications of listening enhanced by an ear for affiliation to the natural world.

我们内心对自然世界的重量和分量的接受度

通过爱丽丝·奥斯瓦尔德的文学探索和诗歌，并从克莱因的角度对详细的临床材料进行分析，作者扩大了通常在精神分析咨询室中解释的遐想的范围。作者提请注意与超人类世界的关系的存在，作为我们内部经验的一个组成部分，并提请注意在普通分析工作中考虑与自然世界的联系的质量和动态意义的价值。与主要物体的关系很大程度上影响了与自然世界的关系所采取的形式，但一旦建立，这种联系就有可能拥有自己的生命，可以提供与人类不同的包容性，允许进行实验具有新的存在方式，并且可以增强自我。作者阐述了耳朵增强听力对于与自然世界的联系的临床意义。
