It is difficult interpreting dreams without imposing your own personal bias. What I find works best is to ask the patient what they thing that you, the therapist, makes of the dream. And most of the times the patient have tons of ideas about what the therapist thinks, and it still being the patients thoughts.
My analyst in training never attempted to give feedback on any of my dreams. In fact in nine years he only interpreted one dream. It was a simple dream. I wonder if he is still alive, because now 50 years later I'd love to read his notes.
Brilliant work. I would love to see more of these types of videos; you included the responses and interpretations that may not have landed and the ones that did. I think this is very needed in video case studies as some therapists make all interventions seem golden.
This will interest both people wanting to learn about analytical psychology and those who have experienced therapy. I will suggest to those desiring therapy to find someone similar to this Dr. He is skilled and caring.
26:20 Leaving a space… He is creating an environment but an important component is he isn’t dictating to the patient what he thinks but gently and effectively engaging him with questions.
why is the analyst misinterpreting the dream in Freudian terms? For Freud all dreams are about self. Even when those depicted are others. This would mean that the older lecturer is himself, his feet of clay are his own and his inadequacy, as a lover, and a professional are all his own. This would open the solution that his mother has paced all her hopes and dreams onto her son and he does not believe he is up to it. Also that the spiritual death of his father as master (football) has been replaced with an inadequate (castrated) replica, himself.
You're wrong. Freud uses symbols. The idea that every part of the dream is an aspect of self is from the Existential-Humanistic theoretical orientation.
@@PhozMix It looks to me like one of the demonstrations you find on psychotherapy.net by practitioners of various modalities. Most come with a fee, though.
