Let Your Body Interpret Your Dreams

Editorial Reviews Psychologist Gendlin (Behavioral Sciences University of Chicago) comes from Carl Rogerss circle. Following Focusing (Everest House 1978) this book shows how Gendlins method of tapping the bodys responses can be applied to the understanding and appreciation of ones dreams. He implies rightly that there are many ways of interpreting dreams based on various theoretical approaches each with its own validity. Yet what really counts is the dreamers somatic response to questions raised or interpretations suggested; the body has the answer preverbally as it were. One can feel the authors respect for the privacy of the individual and for the message of ones inner nature. Simply and clearly written this will be useful both for the lay public and therapists.
