The Social Dream-Drawing Workshop
is a pioneering, practical guide for professionals who work with people
going through major life transitions, such as career change, relocation
or bereavement. These transitions can evoke enormous feelings of
uncertainty and are times of vivid dreaming.
Social
Dream-Drawing is a highly effective method of group work that mobilizes
the dream’s enormous capacity to help us adapt to life, whatever
challenges it throws at us. This user-friendly book explains the
underlying key concepts and basic steps of the Social Dream-Drawing
method, from sharing dream drawings in a group environment to running
digital sessions. It shows how working with these expressive drawings
can bring an otherwise internal experience out into the open and serve
as lifelong mementos of key times in our lives.
Including drawings and testimonials from workshop participants and guidance on creating a safe and supportive environment, The Social Dream-Drawing Workshop
will appeal to therapists and counsellors as well as social workers,
coaches and anyone interested in exploring this fascinating practice.
