Somatization and dream work.
This paper refers to somatization processes which correspond to organic disorders in the body or illness. In relation to it, the author discusses dream production and its development as major indicators to be used in following the course of treatment, as changes, both positive and negative, are reflected in the form, texture, and content of dreams. These points are illustrated by clinical material.
