Event Navigation
Presented by Robert Moradi, M.D.
For Clinicians Only/Sold Out
Nightmares are often some of our most important dreams. In this talk, videotapes will be utilized to demonstrate the significance of nightmares, and suggest ways of helping patients work with these types of dreams. We will examine how to approach the dream or nightmare by first attending to the context of the dreamer’s life, and how to best support and work with dream images, allowing them to unfold in an organic way. Asking the patient for associations, and the use of dream amplification will be demonstrated and discussed, with the goal of helping clinician become more comfortable with including nightmares and dreams in their work with patients.
Course Objectives:
- Describe the attitude of the clinician towards a patient’s dreams.
- Describe the value of understanding the dream in light of what is currently going on in the patient’s life.
- Describe what is meant by shadow material, and give an example of how it might emerge in a dream.
- Describe what is meant by individuation.
- Give an example of the individuation process using dream imagery.
- Give an example of an initial dream and how it can serve to clarify the central issues for the treatment process.
