A novel form of group therapy which I call the Dream Seminar was introduced on an inpatient milieu treatment unit for chronic schizophrenic patients at a Veterans Hospital. The purpose was to help patients understand and appreciate their dreams in a special group setting. It was hypothesized that the Dream Seminar would diminish insomnia and night fears, that the examination of dream experiences, no matter how bizarre or frightening, would be potentially healing, and that patients' attitudes toward dreams as well as delusions and hallucinations might change. It was also hypothesized that by limiting the focus of the Dream Seminar to the manifest dream content, the images and internal sequences of the dream, and by not allowing free association, the connective unconscious of the group would be brought into the open and balance the more conventional therapies of the rest of the program. This paper is a clinical report based on five years' experience with the Dream Seminar.
一种我称之为“梦境研讨会”的新型团体治疗形式，在一家退伍军人医院的慢性精神分裂症患者住院环境治疗单元中被引入。其目的是帮助患者在特殊的团体环境中理解和欣赏他们的梦境。据推测，梦境研讨会将减少失眠和夜间恐惧，对梦境体验的审视，无论多么怪异或可怕，都可能具有治疗作用，并且患者对梦境以及妄想和幻觉的态度可能会改变。还据推测，通过将梦境研讨会的重点限制在梦境的显性内容、梦境的图像和内在序列上，并且不允许自由联想，团体的联结潜意识将被公开，并平衡该项目其他部分更为传统的疗法。本文是基于对梦境研讨会五年经验的临床报告。
