Book Shop Now Editor's Note
Leslie Ellis's Clinician's Guide to Dream Therapy bridges the gap between dream interpretation traditions and current neuroscience — providing clinicians with both a research-grounded model of dreaming and a practical, replicable approach to working with PTSD nightmares and recurring dreams. Detailed session transcripts with clinical commentary make it more useful than abstract theory texts. Used in counseling psychology elective coursework and trauma-focused clinical training.
