The author links the function of analytic listening to Freud's concept of Nachträglichkeit, which she defines as the retroactive assignment of meaning rather than mere deferred action, and derives the notion of 'listening to listening' from their combination. A dialectical conception of time is proposed, with interpretation involving three logical phases, respectively incumbent on the analyst, on the patient and on both. Two clinical examples are given, showing how the patient speaks and listens from a position dictated by his unconscious identifications, which also cause him to reinterpret the analyst's interpretations and his silences. By listening to the patient's reassignment of meaning to his interpretations, the analyst can discover the patient's unconscious identifications and, together with the patient, thereby facilitate the process of psychic change. The author contends that by the function of 'listening to listening' it is possible to overcome the dilemma of whether the analyst with his interpretation or the patient with his own reinterpretation of it is right.
作者将分析性倾听的功能与弗洛伊德的“延迟性”概念联系起来，她将“延迟性”定义为意义的追溯性赋予，而非仅仅是延迟行动，并从二者的结合中得出“倾听倾听”的概念。作者提出了一种辩证的时间观念，阐释涉及三个逻辑阶段，分别由分析师、患者以及双方承担。文中给出了两个临床实例，展示了患者如何从其无意识认同所决定的立场进行言说与倾听，而这种无意识认同也致使他重新诠释分析师的阐释及其沉默。通过倾听患者对其阐释的意义重新赋予，分析师能够发现患者的无意识认同，并与患者共同推动心理改变的进程。作者认为，借助“倾听倾听”的功能，有可能克服分析师的阐释正确还是患者对其阐释的重新诠释正确这一困境。
