'Dr Kradin is a true polymath. He is a physician, and Jungian analyst and most importantly, a true scholar of the classics. He brings the wealth of his prodigious intellect to this book, and offers an intellectual feast to the reader, who like myself has longed to see a return to the classics in the current nalytic literature. While this book may serve the beginning clinician because of the examples that are illuminating for their therapeutic work, it has an even greater appeal to the more experienced and sophisticated reader. From whatever vantage point, it's a treat to enjoy, and to use in thinking deeply about dreams, symbols, and the meanings of our internal life.' - Anne Alonso, PhD 'The notion that dreams may foreshadow themes which are to pervade subsequent psychotherapeutic processes, is central to the work of C.G. Jung. Dr Kradin's book gives the reader a manual to an interpretative analysis of dreams which is simple to follow, and will encourage readers to experiment with the peculiar ability of dreaming to anticipate the future by digesting the past. Jung's main thoughts about dreaming are clearly set forth, and thus this book provides an excellent introduction to the craft of Jungian dream analysis. By giving us a rich variety of individual cases this book will stimulate the mind, and may lead the reader to search deeper into our nightly mysteries.' - Robert Bosnak, Author of A Little Course in Dreams and Embodied Imagination Author Biography: Dr Richard Kradin is Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School and member of the Departments of Medicine and the Center for Psychoanalytic Studies at the Massachusetts General Hospital. A Jungian analyst, he is also trained in neo-Freudian psychoanalytic psychotherapy. He is a supervising analyst and teaches courses on dream interpretation to psychotherapists and candidates in psychoanalysis. His major interests include psychosomatic disorders and he is recipient of the Gradiva Award by the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis for best paper in psychoanalysis, The Psychosomatic Symptom and the Self (1997). He has recently authored a text on the Placebo Response scheduled for publication by Harvard University Press.
