cognitive therapy and dreams

Whether or not dreams have meaning is controversial. Some scientists believe that dreams are merely neurological noise produced by a sleeping brain. Yet many therapists insist that dreams have significance in revealing personality dynamics and can be used effectively in psychotherapy. “Nightmare” explores the use of dream interpretation in psychological treatment. In Book Two, Morris seems to move away from his empirical and scientific training as he delves into paranormal phenomena. The thin line between fantasy and reality become apparent as Morris’s own psychological health becomes questionable. Marvin Rosen is a doctoral level, licensed clinical psychologist. Educated at Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania, he interned at the V.A. Hospital at Perry Point, Maryland.

It is shown in this book that dreams and the symptoms of primary mental disorders are automatic responses that seek to protect physical and especially mental health on the basis of the cerebral lateralization of functions. This understanding of the symptoms and dreams and the therapist’s consequent cooperation with the patient’s unconscious makes very fast and effective psychotherapy possible, which is self-applicable in many disorders such as migraine and tension headaches, for example.

Best review for Cognitive-Behavioral Cybernetics of Symptoms, Dreams, Lateralization: Theory, Interpretation, Therapy

In Dream Work in Therapy, distinguished researchers and clinicians explore Clara Hill’s cognitive-experiential model for working with dreams. Dreams are useful therapeutic tools because they help people circumvent their defenses to reach deeper levels of self-awareness. Developed over many years by Hill and her students, the approach integrates aspects from several existing dream theories, such as Freudian, Jungian, Gestalt, phenomenological, client-centered, and behavioral, to create a theoretically consistent, three-staged model. Working in collaboration with their clients (patients), therapists can help them explore their dreams, gain insight into the meaning of their dreams, and take action to resolve issues in their waking life. The book discusses the theoretical basis of the model and provides clear instructions for implementing it in practice. Through the use of valuable clinical examples, authors present extensions of the model in specific settings and populations, such as groups, men, the bereaved, and nightmare sufferers. Of particular interest to readers will be the last part of the book, which describes how to train therapists to use the model and provides a detailed review of the model’s empirical research. This invaluable approach offers therapists and their clients a structured but flexible method for maximizing the therapeutic benefits of working with dreams.

Best review for Dream Work in Therapy: Facilitating Exploration, Insight, and Action

Expanded from a special issue of the Journal of Cognitive Psychotherapy, this volume contains some of the most interesting and promising work on dreams coming from therapists and researchers working at the crossroads of cognitive therapy and other systems-from a reprint of Beck’s only article on cognition and dreams to the influence of modern neurobiology on the use of dreams in cognitive therapy.

These chapters provide a meta-theory of drams that is unique to the cognitive perspective. As such, they begin the process of generating a comprehensive cognitive model of dream work that includes cognitive, affective, physical and behavioral features from which future research and clinical innovations can be built.
