About this course in South Africa

This course explores different approaches to dream work, treating dreams as embodied, living stories within a person's psyche. South African psychologists will compare major theoretical approaches within a Jungian framework, their assumptions and interpretive aims, and consider which dream-work methods suit which clinical contexts. Ethical and clinical considerations around when and how to introduce dream material are discussed, along with client factors such as therapeutic goals, readiness and presentation that shape the choice of intervention. The course is accredited by the HPCSA for CPD points and helps clinicians tailor dream work to each client.

In this talk, we will explore the diverse approaches to dream work, aimed at deepening our understanding of dreams as embodied living stories within the psyche of individuals. Professionals will gain invaluable insights into the therapeutic considerations necessary for effectively working with dreams, enabling them to tailor their approach to the unique needs of each client.
