Course Description:
Dreams continue to be enormously helpful in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, yet our understanding of how they are formed and the best ways of working with them have changed in many ways. We will review some of the main ideas of Freud and Jung about dreams, and then explore how those ideas have been changed by discoveries in clinical work and in laboratories. We will reconsider the use of associations, symbols, and manifest content. We will explore how a patient’s dreams reveal things about the transference and the countertransference, along with revelations about psychological defenses. You will come away from this presentation with a new view of how dreams have evolved, how they function in our psychology, and exciting new ways they can best be used to enhance psychological treatment.
