I've been away on a visit to Yale; getting home, it's amazing what a short time it takes me to check babble- just after unpacking! Thanks so much, Annie and GG, for your warm and supportive words- they mean a lot, especially since we've known each other here quite a while now.
I checked the book on Amazon. It is there,: I had the title wrong. It's "Awakening the Dreamer". by Philip Bromberg. Anyone can read it with pleasure. The ideas are clear, well-presented, and supported by clinical examples. There are no stuffy referrals to Freudian theory, or to any theory. He admits to disliking rehashed old theories in the book. He also has an earlier book, written around 2000, called "Standing in the Spaces"- also about dissociation. It's very good, too. There's just one problem- the books are EXPENSIVE- in the $40 range, even for second-hand ones.
