About the Workshop:
Continuing Education Credit:

Since dream interpretation deals directly with the unconscious, a consciously ethical approach to this work is particularly important. Based on the premise that it is essential to keep the client’s experience of a dream central to the interpretive process, this workshop will focus on ways to minimize contamination by the therapist’s projections, counter-transference reactions and theoretical orientation. At the same time, effective dream work occurs primarily within a collaborative relationship. Therefore, we will examine the role of the therapist as one of helping the client freely engage with dream material as the true expert on the dream, using a relational perspective as a frame for ethical technique. The objectives of the workshop are to: 1) Understand the ethics of dream interpretation within a historical context and as a viable tool in contemporary psychotherapy; 2) Identify how theoretical orientation influences ethical dream work; 3) Recognize the ethical importance of minimizing countertransference projections in working with clients' dreams; 4) Learn specific techniques that optimize the client’s experience as central in working ethically with dreams; 5) Understand the importance of confidentiality and clear boundaries in working with dreams.
