“A Clinician's Guide to Dream Therapy is the perfect resource for clinicians wishing to incorporate dreamwork into their psychotherapy practice. Leslie Ellis offers a scholarly yet entertaining summary of the major contemporary approaches to dreams and outlines the key effective elements across these approaches. She illustrates all this with engrossing clinical anecdotes that give readers a solid idea of how to begin this work.” Deirdre Barret, author 'The Committe of Sleep', faculty, Harvard University; president, International Association for the Study of Dream “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.” Jan Winhall, author of Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model “Throughout this clear-sighted and fascinating book, Dr. Leslie Ellis showcases the remarkable potential of dreamwork as a catalyst for healing. Ellis demonstrates how to integrate dreamwork into clinical practice in creative and scientifically grounded ways, guiding therapists through dream embodiment to the visual arts, and discussing everything from neuroscience to virtual reality. 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.” Dr. Clare Johnson, author of The Art of Lucid Dreaming and Elixir of Sleep. Founder of DeepLucidDreaming.com
