SEMINAR OBJECTIVES
This seminar will review Fosshage's metapsychology of dreams, a self psychological model of dream interpretation.  Dr. Wagner will present Fosshage's dream interpretation methodology and will also present his own method of interpreting dreams.  Dr. Wagner's presentation will focus on the integrating function of dreams, and participants will gain practice in understanding the importance of the figure of the dreamer in any given dream.  Undisguised transference dreams will be discussed as ready-made opportunities for interpretation and benchmarks in the therapeutic hour.  Dr. Wagner will demonstrate his work on specimen dreams provided from case materials.
 

SEMINAR GOALS
At the conclusion of this seminar, attendees will be able to:
  1. Understand the importance of the dreamer in the dream.
  2. Understand the importance of the integrating function of dreams.
  3. Understand the importance of undisguised transference dreams in which the therapist appears as him or herself.
