A Comparison of therapist- facilitated and self-guided dream interpretation sessions - Heaton, Kristin.;Hill, Clara.;Petersen, David. 4 0 16; 5
ABSTRACT : Twenty-five volunteer clients participated in both a therapist-facilitated and a self-guided dream interpretation session; sessions were randomly ordered and separated by approximately 1 week. Observer and therapist ratings indicated that therapists adhered to the C. E. Hill (1996) model during therapist-facilitated sessions. Clients reported achieving greater depth, mastery, and insight, as well as more dream exploration-insight gains and more action-related gains, from therapist-facilitated sessions than from self-guided sessions. In addition, 88% of the clients preferred therapist-facilitated over self-guided sessions. Implications for using both types of sessions are presented.
