Dreamtelling: The value of dreaming and sharing dreams in relations: Part II: The practice of a group analytic approach to shared dreams

Abstract

After having described communicational and relational characteristics of dreaming and sharing dreams, in Part II, I provide deeper exploration of a clinical example in group-analytic group therapy, describing group work with a dream. The uniqueness of the group-analytic approach to the dream’s contents and its communicative aspect will be stressed. Requests for containment preoccupy relations and participants and should be elaborated during the discourse of ‘dreamtelling’.
