Träume in der Kognitiven Verhaltenstherapie

The work with dreams is still rarely utilized in cognitive behavioral therapy, even though it can quickly establish a deep and personal connection between client and therapist and enhance therapy motivation. Working with dreams can also be very helpful in recognizing conflicts and problems and can be beneficial for developing concrete treatment and action goals and their implementation.

The book presents various behavioral therapeutic approaches to working with dreams that are still largely unknown in the German-speaking world. Additionally, it explains the integration of dream work into current theories regarding the function of dreaming. The aim of the book is to provide practical assistance and suggestions for working with dreams in a behavioral therapeutic context. The specific approach is described in a practical manner and illustrated with examples and working materials. This volume is aimed at all psychotherapeutic practitioners and interested individuals who wish to learn about the therapeutic use and application of dreams.
