Abstract

Dreams are not an essential ingredient of casework treatment. When they are part of the reality of an individual client, they can be included as demonstrative of the process within the individual that is being studied by client and social worker together. They help reinforce interpretations, overcome resistances, and point up material that the client might otherwise withhold. In every instance, only that part of the dream which relates to the constant central focus of treatment is utilized by the caseworker. As long as the caseworker respects the boundaries of casework treatment and the limits set by diagnostically focussed treatment, he need not be fearful of including the interpretation of dreams among his skills.
