Differentiation of dreams dreamt by the psychotic and the non-psychotic personalities
1Dr. med. Uta Karacaoğlan Gutenbergstr. 55, Köln, Germany.
Abstract:
To what extent are dreams dreamt by the psychotic or non-psychotic parts of the personality? And what significance does this have for the treatment technique? Based on Bion's theories of dream function and the differentiation between psychotic and non-psychotic personalities, these questions are examined. Theoretically, reference is made to the significance of the body and body image with regard to both psychotic structure and dream function. Using a countertransference dream by Winnicott and material from psychoanalytic treatments with patients suffering from psychotic disorders, the above ideas will be discussed.
