This is Volume XXV of twenty-eight in a collection on Psychoanalysis. Originally published in 1932, the aim of this book is to give a sane interpretation of the significance of dreams based upon a thorough investigation of the incidents of each dream recorded and of the circumstances under which it occurred.
Dr Rivers especially calls attention (
a) to the inadequacy of Freud''s theory of wish-fulfilment as an explanation of dreams; (
b) to the exaggerated importance assigned by the psycho-analytic school to incidents in the dreamer''s early life to the neglect of recent conflicts, which he regards as more important as causal agents; and (
c) especially to the fallacies of Freudian interpretations of symbolism, and particularly of sexual motives and symbols, which have been responsible for most of the opposition to Freud''s teaching.
