Описание:

The analysis of dreams is often crucial in clinical work with trauma survivors and other populations who have experienced life-altering events. Dreamwork can be beneficial for survivors when done in a way that allows safe access to trauma and emotional content. The exploratory study outlined in this book was the first to use two major dream content scales on a dataset of trauma and general dreams. A significant difference was found between the dreams of trauma survivors and general dreams. Those of trauma survivors contained more powerful negative emotions. The study outcomes engender both research and practice implications. As awareness of trauma grows, practice guidelines are essential to clinicians. Nightmares and other highly charged dreams are signals that intervention is required. This study provides a direction for these clinical interventions that can be utilized in different practice settings, augmenting both their efficacy and the recovery process.
