This paper discusses one of the oldest techniques in the practice of psychoanalysis and perhaps one of the least considered. Freud called it “evenly suspended attention.” It is attention devoid of memory and desire. Access to the unconscious mind is central to this approach and entails techniques of preventing the conscious mind from interfering in defensive ways. The emotional response of the analyst is also critical because it is from this that intuition emerges. Clinical vignettes illustrate what it means to listen with the unconscious mind and how it impacts the analytic process.
