Dreams and the Person-centered Approach Summary

Dreams and the Person-centered Approach: Cherishing Client Experiencing by Andrea Koch

Andrea Koch argues that the person-centered approach is one of the best ways of being with dreams because it has no limiting concepts of dreaming or the meaning dreams bring with them. The client's sense of her inner world is at the center of the counselling process and gives primacy to the actualizing tendency. This allows for two ground rules for being with dreams: the dreamer finds her own meaning and dreaming is a process of self-healing.
