This edited volume shows the relationship between dream research and its usefulness in treating patients. Milton Kramer and Myron Glucksman show that there is support for searching for the meaning of dream as experiences extended in time. Dreaming reflects psychological changes and is actually an orderly process, not a random experience. Several chapters in this book explore interviewing methodologies that will help clients reduce the frequency of their nightmares and thus contribute to successful therapy.

Reviews

"The title of this book is quite apt as it pertains to research that is clinically useful and a signifcant contribution to our understanding of dream research, especially applied to clinical practice, and has certainly achieved this goal... This work is a combination of up-to-date scientific principles, both regarding psychotherapy and the process of sleep and dreaming... This book is well written, scientific, up to date, and exciting to read. It will serve as an estimable contribution to clinical work." - Ronald N. Turco, MD, Psychodynamic Psychiatry
