[Analytic therapy by the wake-dream].

Abstract

The author goes through process of treatment by Robert Desoille's Wake-Dream analysis in an effort to expose the psychodynamics involved. In the first place, he approaches the problem of commencement of therapy up to the constitution of the framework inherent to the Wake-Dream. This presupposes a peculiar dissociation into several "me"; and a work method that may be thought of as progressive set up of a "personal mythology", through the various method stages, which in turn entails the task of binding and integrating every temporal and spatial dimension of psychism. The technique's therapeutic mechanics are based essentially in this work method. He also deals with the problem of transference and resistance and with the segregation of process phases just as they arise in medicine. On the basis of a text by Freud and of the aforementioned criteria, he supports the "analytical" nature of the Wake-Dream (in a sense similar to the term in psychoanalysis), in spite of the fact that the latter is not derived from psychoanalysis and is completely different from it as regards technique. Wake-Dream and psychoanalysis are bradly coincident as far as theorical hypotheses supporting them are concerned.
