In this important update to Leslie Ellis' clinical dream book, she offers some new information near and dear to my heart. She includes a fascinating section on the relationship to nightmares and the autonomic nervous system, making this book a major contribution to cutting edge trauma treatment. She offers a clear map to working with nightmares in a way that respects the lineage of somatically-informed trauma therapy. A must read for clinicians who work with dreams and trauma.

A Clinician’s Guide to Dream Therapy illuminates the path for therapists to explore clients’ dreams with deep respect for the experiential wisdom embedded in every dream. A must-read for all therapists who hope to guide their clients towards even greater self-knowledge and transformation.
