- Ethical Issues
- Emotional Harm
- Latent Content might be stressful and extreme for the patient
- Therefore, debrief the patient beforehand
- Latent Content might be stressful and extreme for the patient
- Power Imbalance
- Patient can become dependent on therapy for insight into their unconscious
- Decode their hidden desire and wishes (id)
- Seen more in depressed patients
- Decode their hidden desire and wishes (id)
- Patient can become dependent on therapy for insight into their unconscious
- FMS
- Therapists may deceive patients by implanting fake traumatic memories upon dream analysis
- This means they get more money by you showing up to therapy
- As they are an authoritative figure, we trust them and their interpretations = easy to decieve
- Toon et el (1996)

- Research Evidence
- Solms et el (2000)
- PET Scans - highlight the regions of the brain that are active during dreaming. This is during REM
- Shows that the active part of the brain is indeed inactive which means the unconscious, id and memory parts are active
- PET Scans - highlight the regions of the brain that are active during dreaming. This is during REM
- Hopefield et el (1983)
- Neural Networks that are computer simulations that mimic the action of the brain. Overloaded memory when condensing memories like us
- Supports Freud's notion of condensation - unacceptable desires are censored and dealt through fragmented images (Manifest Content)
- Neural Networks that are computer simulations that mimic the action of the brain. Overloaded memory when condensing memories like us
- Solms et el (2000)
- Methodological issues
- Disrupts normal sleeping patterns like with the REM sleep.
- Which means biological function like the secretion of hormones and neurotransmitters can be effected
- Acts as cofounding variables so any results may be due to these factors
- Which means biological function like the secretion of hormones and neurotransmitters can be effected
- Studies done in sleep laboratories and cannot be justified as a normal state of 'dreaming' since they are hooked up to wires so they are not in natural environment
- Lacks Ecological Validity
- Disrupts normal sleeping patterns like with the REM sleep.
- Subjective Interpretation
- Coming up with the Latent Content behind the Manifest Content is subjective to the therapist
- The dream being interpreted is the report of the dreamer
- May not be Reliable information
- Not Scientific
- Coming up with the Latent Content behind the Manifest Content is subjective to the therapist
- Ethical Issues
