Families and the Interpretation of Dreams: Awakening the Intimate Web (Haworth Psychotherapy)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent intergation of families & shared dreamlife.
Review: Holy Moses ! This is the first book I ever heard of and read that really fuses serious dream analysis, family dynamics, parapsychology, sacred literature and clinical science into a well written, non-pedantic book.This guy seems to be open to the real stuff that most of my and other people's lives is about. I mean there was some deep work in there on dreams and death, dreams and medical illness, dreams and creativity and dreams and pregancy. My wife and I really liked that part since we had some close emotional encounters with this material when one of our parents died and our son was soon concieved. I'm a trained doctor so I came to it with a little bit of a critical eye. But I was soon seduced by the guy's prose and solid research. I think he is some kind of professor along with being a doctor himself at UMASS. Lots of references always makes me feel better and he has a lot of them. Finally to put this into a historical and ancient Egyptian, African and American Indian context was a good, even brillant risk, and a risk that works!!! Anyway I'll check out some of the other stuff he has written.
