This book comprises the first volume of a comprehensive practitioner’s handbook concerning the use of dreams as a tool for psychoanalysis, written by the influential psychologist Wilhelm Stekel. Dreams have long been thought to provide invaluable insights into the minds of patients and constitute crucial tools for psychoanalysis. This Stekel does not dispute; he does, however, redefine the usefulness of dreams as being important for what a patient’s dreams mean to them personally rather than what their dreams might mean to an impartial practitioner – it is what the patient can tell us about their dreams rather than vice verse. Contained in this fascinating book is a combination of case studies and practical methodology that sets this book apart from other dream-based psychoanalytical text as being a must-read for enthusiasts and practitioners alike. Wilhelm Stekel was an Austrian psychologist and physician famous for being one of Freud's earliest students. This book was originally published in 1943 and is republished here with a prefatory biography of the author.

This seminal psychoanalytic work by Wilhelm Stekel was intended as a guide to the interpretation of the Unconscious for those who are concerned professionally with nervous disorders. An indispensible aid to contemporary psychoanalysts, this book is devoted to correlating the subjects’ dreams with the neurotic character traits which confront their psychotherapeutic practitioners. Contents include: "The Meaning of Symbolism", "The Analysis of a Simple Dream", "Dream Masks", "The Spitting of Personality in the Dream", et cetera. Wilhelm Stekel (1868 - 1940) was an Austrian psychologist and physician. He was an early follower of the seminal Sigmund Freud, often described as Freud's most distinguished pupil and commonly hailed as one of the founding fathers of modern psychoanalytical methodology. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
