Abstract

Since S. Freud in psychoanalytic theories of dreaming the communicative function of dreaming attained more and more importance. Phenomenological researchers - e. g. L. Binswanger, V. E. v. Gebsattel , M. Boss , D. v. Uslar and especially D. Wyss - consider communication and meeting as origin of dream-experience. They emphasize the possibilities of "being" and "existence" which are inaugurated by dreaming. D. Wyss widened the horizon of understanding by pointing out the relation of dreams to "perspective/ aperspective " and to the category of "possibilities". He describes the therapeutic interpretation of dreams as an intersubjective and dialogic process. The modi of communication created by D. Wyss turned out to be very suitable in order to illustrate the communicative power and potentialities of dreams.

Information-sharing among couples considering multifetal pregnancy reduction.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the information-sharing strategies of couples considering fetal reduction, and the impact of these strategies on the chances of encountering hostility in their social networks. DESIGN: Cross-sectional design of semistructured qualitative interviews, coded with respect to sharing strategies and level of personally directed hostility encountered. SETTING: Multiple Pregnancy Management Program, Comprehensive Genetics, New York, New York. PATIENT(S) AND INTERVENTION(S): Fifty women and their partners who were making a first visit to our maternal-fetal management facility, in order to consider the possibility of multifetal reduction as a pregnancy-management strategy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Development of information-sharing strategies, and the chances of encountering personally directed hostility regarding multifetal reduction associated with more and less selective strategies. RESULT(S): Four information-sharing strategies emerged from the analysis. Two of these strategies were relatively open (extended network, and both parents). Two other strategies were relatively selective (qualified family and friends, and defended relationship). The selective strategies were significantly less likely to encounter to encounter personally directed hostility (odds ratio, 3.88; 95% confidence intervals, 0.87-17.30). CONCLUSION(S): Selective sharing of information for couples considering multifetal prgnancy reduction is a potentially useful strategy for moderating potentially stressful relationships in their social networks. Clinics should find a way of integrating the discussion of selective sharing into their clinic's cultural repertoire of patient-support services.
