Government of IndiaConflict and Dream
Author: Rivers, W. H. R.
Keywords: Psychoanalysis
Dreams
Publisher: Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co., London
Description: Conflict and Dream was written by W.H.R. Rivers with a preface by G. Elliot Smith. This book was published in 1923 in London. The aim of this book is to give an interpretation of the significance of dreams based upon a thorough investigation of the incidents of each dream recorded and of the circumstances under which it occurred. The writer calls attention to the inadequacy of Freud's theory of wish-fulfillment as an explanation of dreams and to the exaggerated importance assigned to the psycho-analytic school to incidents in the dreamer's early life to the neglect of recent conflicts and finally fallacies of Freudian interpretation of symbolism and sexual motives and symbols. Dr. Rivers believes that dreams are attempts to solve in sleep conflicts which are disturbing in waking life.
