An innovative approach to dream analysis based on the psychodynamic, cognitive, humanist theory of Alfred Adler. In this book, Gold shows how even common dream symbols are best interpreted based on the uniqueness of the individual client. In the dream the intimacy of self is involved in a way that is not possible in waking life because of the distraction of the external world. Gold presents a practical therapeutic approach that is accessible for both the seasoned therapist and those new to the art and science of professional helping.
