Understanding the dream world. Moving beyond Freud
Description
A century after the debut of Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams, the neurobiological approach to understanding the subconscious is yielding to an integrated psycho-bio-sociological model. Following a concise overview of Freudian theory, NewsHour correspondent Terence Smith moderates a discussion with cognitive neuroscientist Robert Stickgold, of Harvard Medical School, and psychoanalyst Robert Pyles, president of the American Psychoanalytic Association. Together they examine the process of dreaming, debate the historical value and current applicability of Freudian theory, and speculate on the future of dream research.
