Reviews"...[this] thought-provoking and beautifully laid out book has deep-seated implications for psychodynamic scholars." -- Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic "This is the most thorough and persuasive exploration of the epistemology of dream interpretation within psychoanalysis that has ever appeared. Overall, the depth and sophistication of the scholarship, thoughtfulness, and ultimate philosophical, research, and clinical implications of the work make this a landmark book." -- Bennett Simon, Harvard Medical School and The Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute "The critique of Freud is the best I've seen, and the careful construction of the argument supporting the meaningfulness of dreams is excellent. The book demands to be inserted into the current field of methodological controversy swirling around psychoanalysis." -- William Meissner, S. J., Boston College

SynopsisOffers scientific and philosophical support to the Freudian claim that dreams are meaningful and that their meanings can be discovered through dream interpretation., Offers scientific and philosophical support to the Freudian claim that dreams are meaningful and that their meanings can be discovered through dream interpretation. The Freudian claim that dreams are meaningful and that their meanings can be discovered through dream interpretation has in recent times come under harsh attack from both scientific and hermeneutic-psychoanalytic circles. In a forceful response to these critiques, Rachel Blass demonstrates that while Freud and his followers have thus far failed to provide adequate justification for his dream theory, such justification may now be found through an alternate and legitimate-yet neglected-route, one that establishes both scientifically and philosophically the relationship between the self of the dreamer and that of the awake individual. The implications of this argument are both practical and theoretical: by providing sorely absent scientific and philosophical grounding to the very foundations of dream interpretation, the book clarifies and broadens the possibilities of dream interpretation within the clinical setting, and breaks new ground in the field of psychoanalytic epistemology and the philosophy of the human sciences., The Freudian claim that dreams are meaningful and that their meanings can be discovered through dream interpretation has in recent times come under harsh attack from both scientific and hermeneutic-psychoanalytic circles.
