In the series Clinical Issues:

Nightmares and the Trauma of Love

Presented by Robert Moradi, M.D.

Following a superficial suicide attempt, a male patient had a series of nightmares which revealed the depth of his desire for self-annihilation as a result of a failed romantic relationship. This patient's struggle to metabolize unbearable pain and loss was reflected in his dreams with increasing intensity and despair. In this presentation, we will look at the predictive and integrative function of dreams, using the case of failed romantic love.

Course Objectives:

• Identify suicidal themes in dreams
• Describe ways in which the unconscious responds to unbearable loss
• Demonstrate how a recurrent nightmare contains both premonitory and integrative functions

Robert Moradi, M.D., is a board-certified psychiatrist and Jungian analyst in private practice in Santa Monica. Former Director of Training at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA School of Medicine, he teaches a year-long course on dreams at the Reiss-Davis Child Study Center and at the C.G.
