This unique book, incorporating both theory and practice, provides an invaluable guide to the assessment of dreams in transactional analysis (TA).
Ground in the latest neuroscientific research, it offers both neophyte and experienced TA practitioners a pathway to incorporate a client’s dreams within individual and group therapy, exploring key issues including trauma, dissociation and nightmares, dreams of change and transformation, dreams of healing, and transference and countertransference in dreams.
It will support therapists through the very first steps toward the analysis of more complex interpersonal dynamics and dream analysis in a group setting. Also discussing the direction of future research in the area, as well as an overview of an experiment on dream analysis during the recent pandemic. This will be key reading for anyone working in the field.
Reviews and Endorsements
One cannot talk about this book without first talking about the cultural climate in which it was born, which is that of PerFormat, a school of Transactional Analysis in Pisa that is a breeding ground of ideas and culture, open to all approaches, stimulating curiosity, desire and passion to learn in a field as complex as that of helping relationships. This book, written by Anna Emanuela Tangolo and Francesca Vignozzi, testifies very well to their commitment and working style. They deal with all aspects of dreams and dreamwork in depth. As the reader will have seen, the different chapters explore several issues related to dreamwork, ranging in different theories, even far from Transactional Analysis.
Paolo Migone, psychoanalyst MD, coeditor of the journal Psicoterapia e Scienze Umane and co president of Rapaport-Klein Study Group (Austen Riggs Center, Stockbridge, Massachusetts)
As contemporary transactional analysis has re-incorporated notions of unconscious experience, it has done so primarily through an emphasis on relationality, as evidenced within the dyadic dynamics of the transference-countertransference relationship and enactments. Dreamwork, as developed here by Tangolo and Vignozzi, brings attention back to unconscious forces within the contexts of intrapsychic conflicts and desires. While this book offers a detailed accounting of working with dreams within a transactional analysis context, the authors draw upon a broad spectrum of psychoanalytic authors and dream researchers. This is a book that will speak to psychotherapists of all disciplines with an interest in dreams.
