In this fascinating collection, the principles of social dreaming are explored to uncover shared anxieties and prejudices, suggest likely responses, enhance cultural surveys, inform managerial policies and embody community affiliation.

Recenzje

"This is an important book that extends the horizons envisioned by Gordon Lawrence. Dreams are overdetermined events that condense many divergent strands of thought into one remarkable internal event. ’Social dreaming’ theorists analyze the way dreams include social events in their matrix. At a time when there is widespread distress in societies around the globe, a work such as this is timely and useful." --Christopher Bollas

"This new collection of papers on Social Dreaming (SD) contains some gems of eloquent and moving descriptions of the frankly, magic experience of SD, and it aims to make a thoughtful contribution to the epistemology and the practice of SD."
-George Taxidis, Private Practice, teaches at Goldsmiths, University of London
