Dreams 1900-2000: Science, Art, and the Unconscious Mind essays by Lynn Gamwell, August Ruhs, and Lucy Daniels (Cornell Studies in the History of Psychiatry)
When Sigmund Freud published The Interpretation of Dreams (new translation Oxford University Press 1999) in 1900, he began the modern study of a phenomenon that has fascinated human beings for thousands of years. At the same time he opened a new realm, the unconscious mind, to filmmakers and artists who were inspired by his theories. This beautifully designed and lavishly illustrated book--written to commemorate the centenary of Freud's classic work--examines the shifting roles that dreams have played in twentieth-century art and science.

Over the course of the twentieth century, as scientists have researched the psychology and physiology of dreams, artists from Odilon Redon and Joan Mir to Jenny Holzer, Ingmar Bergman, and Laurie Anderson have produced dramatic images centered in the unconscious. An exploration of this artistic output, this volume features a hundred color and fifty black-and-white illustrations depicting work by a broad range of artists in painting, photography, sculpture, video, film, performance, dance, and other media.

In her opening essay, Lynn Gamwell reviews the psychoanalytic understanding of dreams and explores the ways in which Freud's theories have been interpreted artistically. The next essay, by Ernest Hartmann, traces attempts to link somatic and psychological dimensions of dreaming and to discover parallels between these dimensions and creative thought. In the final essay, Donald Kuspit assesses the impact of the transition from the mystical outlook that human beings held in the nineteenth century to the twentieth-century scientific paradigm for the human mind.

Dreams 1900-2000: Science, Art, and the Unconscious Mind captures a century in this stunning volume, concluding with a "dream archive"--an illustrated catalogue raisonn of approximately five hundred examples of twentieth-century art about dreams. The collection of visual images makes this tribute to Freud’s seminal study of dream interpretation especially welcome as it chronicles in a vivid way the pervasive effect of dream images in art and cinema.

The Practice of Dream Healing: Bringing Ancient Greek Mysteries into Modern Medicine by Edward, Ph.D. Tick (Quest Books) From his practice of treating severely traumatized Vietnam veterans in the late '70s and '80s, psychotherapist Edward Tick came to believe that traditional Western medicine could not adequately heal deeply wounded souls and he embarked on an exploration of healing practices worldwide. His search brought him to ancient Greece and what he claims are the roots of modern medicine. In The Practice of Dream Healing:, Tick introduces readers to the Greek mythological figure of Asklepios, who was believed to be the first spiritual healer or psychiatrist and to those today who practice his spiritual healing methodology, including a cardiologist turned psychiatrist and a Christian priest. Tick takes readers along on the healing journeys he has experienced and witnessed in others.
