Though the clinical and experimental literature suggests that discussing dreams with therapy patients can be beneficial in a variety of important ways, there appears to be a gap in educational opportunities for psychiatric residents regarding this process. To address this educational need at the authors' residency program, a class in psychodynamically oriented dream analysis was implemented, and data was collected in the form of learner surveys both before and after they took the course. The survey found that the level of importance placed on dream work, the comfort level in discussing dreams with patients, and the frequency with which dreams were discussed in sessions were all increased after taking the course. Our conclusion was that these preliminary results suggest that implementing a structured course on dream analysis may help to fill the educational gap.
尽管临床和实验文献表明，与治疗患者讨论梦境在许多重要方面可能是有益的，但对于精神科住院医师来说，关于这一过程的教育机会似乎存在差距。为了满足作者所在住院医师项目的这一教育需求，开设了一门精神分析导向的梦分析课程，并以学习者在修课前和修课后的调查形式收集数据。调查发现，对梦工作的重视程度、与患者讨论梦境的舒适度以及在治疗中讨论梦境的频率都在修课后有所提高。我们的结论是，这些初步结果表明，实施梦分析的结构化课程可能有助于填补教育差距。
