Description

Dream and Fantasy in Child Analysis by Samy Teicher and Michael Gunter explores the connection between children's imaginative world, dream life, and play. This collection of talks from a conference highlights how child analysts work with dreams at both practical and theoretical levels. The contributors examine the role of dreams, daydreams, fantasies, and play in child analysis, drawing on Freudian concepts such as condensation and displacement. The book provides insight into the current practice of child psychoanalysis and its approach to working with children's dreams. By exploring this often-overlooked aspect of child analysis, Dream and Fantasy in Child Analysis offers a unique perspective on the therapeutic process and the importance of imagination in childhood development.
