Dream Imagery Constellated by the Analytic Process

This recording by Donald Kalsched discusses the use of dream imagery as a bridge between the illusory world and reality. The illusory world is formed out of the trauma experience in childhood that is substituted for reality when that reality is too much for the child to bear. These, Kalsched proposes, are archetypal defenses the psyche provides to protect the most sacred and vulnerable aspects of the self.  In this presentation he uses, myth, fairy tale and case material to explain how, in the analytic work, there is a necessary movement from an exterior existence, that becomes the place-holder for illusory experience, to an interiority that is necessary for what Jung calls a symbolic life.

Note: This lecture originally included slides, which are not available.

Learning Objectives: 

1) Participants will be able to verbalize how, as a result of trauma, an illusory world is formed to protect us from the harshness of reality while at the same time forming a tension between the two, often causing a crisis that leads one into analytic work.

2) Participants will be able to delineate the five stages of movement from exteriority to interiority.
