This collection traces the history of psycho-analytically informed thinking about dreams, using selected contributions from Freud to the present to highlight both the legacy of The Interpretation of dreams and the evolving use of the dream as a research tool- of the mind first, later of the psychoanalytic process and of pathology and loge predicaments, and finally as a tool to be integrated with other methods of investigation. Melvin R. Lansky is Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry, UCLA Medical School, and Faculty, Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Institute. from the publisher's website |
