This series of articles by psychiatrist Ullman and the students of his dream workshops concerns the use of dreams outside the clinical setting. The articles range from descriptions of group dream work, which seem more analogous to human potential groups than to group therapy, to the use of dreams in diverse settings from anthropological field work to classroom creative writing. A section on dreams in their more traditional clinical use is noteworthy for coauthor Limmer’s article on her own struggles with illness, but most of the clinically oriented material is rather elementary and of limited use for professionals in the field. The book will be of greatest interest to lay readers and to nonpsychiatric professionals whose work touches on dream analysis. Paul Hymowitz, Cornell Medical Ctr., New York
