A Clinician’s Guide to Dream Therapy

Demystifying Dreamwork

About this book

A Clinician's Guide to Dream Therapy demystifies the process of working with dreams by providing both a grounding in the current science of dreaming as well as a simple, practical approach to clinical dreamwork.

In addition to a survey of the current science and neuroscience of dreaming, this book includes clinical examples of specific techniques with detailed transcripts and follow-up commentary. Chapters cover how to work with PTSD nightmares and their relationship to the nervous system and polyvagal theory, and how to use experiential dreamwork techniques to produce lasting change. This second edition has been thoroughly updated throughout, including new case studies, and a new, detailed clinical example of embodied experiential dreamwork.

Readers will be able to discuss their clients' dream material with confidence, armed with an approach that helps them collaboratively tap into the inherent power for change found in every dream.
