More Description

A new, astounding, and revolutionary approach to dreams, both sleeping and wakeful, their functions, and their uses as therapeutic tools. With the insights and confidence of an enthused adherent and disciple, Depeyrot introduces a wide audience to Romey's theories and practices in this first "Primer" on Romey's work since he launched this technique in the early eighties. Depeyrot translates key writings of Romey's which serve as an introduction to this revolutionary practice for an English-speaking audience. Romey's theories of dream interpretation melded with the pioneering works of Freud and Jung from an earlier generation, offers a basis for Romey's therapeutic use of Free Wakeful Dreaming. More than just a translation, this fundamental anthology offers Romey's theories with Depeyrot's analyses and commentaries to ensure Romey's place in the pantheon of psychoanalysts. What is most astounding from Depeyrot's point of view is to drive the healing process, turning the therapist's role into that of an humble assistant, both compassionate and admiring, who neither interferes nor becomes involved in ways that lead to problems of transference and counter-transference. This translation is a cornerstone for nay who wish to understand a new and fresh approach to this analysis and practice of dream as a tool for a psychoanalytic therapy able to heal in a remarkably short time.
