Abstract
Various features of a dream that occurred during a critical phase of psychotherapy have been considered from a psychoanalytic, behavioristic and existential viewpoint. While each may enhance our understanding of the patient's difficulties and lead to effective therapeutic interventions, it is the existential-phenomenologic approach that reveals the patient most dramatically as a unique human being. If the therapist can remain sufficiently aware of the separateness and relationship of these viewpoints, he will be free to shift between them, selecting them for their relevance at various moments of the therapeutic relationship. Allusion is made to our yet vast ignorance of neurophysiological and neuropathological aspects as integrally belonging to a person's “world design.” This promises to be a wide yet uncharted field for the phenomenologist interested not only in psychological but also in neurophysiological and neuropathological research.
