The Emotional Content of Dreams

An Exploratory Study of Trauma Survivors Dreams

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
