"vocabulary of symbols and images" for a therapy by the imaginary in action - Tome 2 of the lexicon in love with the psyche

Who would care about one more book on any weird ways to interpretdreams?As an experienced practitioner of the powerful "Therapy by the Imaginary inAction" (TIA), Michel Depeyrot is attempting to overcome a double challengethrough the publication of the fi rst two-way lexicon of the language of the imaginary.Starting from the psychotherapeutic technique developed by Georges Romeyover the last thirty years as Free Wakeful dreaming (FWD), this author has broadenedits reach thanks to Carl-Gustav Jung's "Active Imagination" and Georges Vaillant'sillustration of mechanisms of defense. It results in this «Vocabulary of Conceptsand Processes» for a Therapy by the Imaginary in Action, namely Tome 1 of aLexicon in love with the Psyche.The grammar of productions from the imaginary, discovered by GeorgesRomey, is the fi rst breakthrough in fi fty years after the pioneering and celebratedwork of Noam Chomsky on the syntax of spoken languages. The structure ofdream scenarios, both wakeful and sleeping, is presented in Tome 1 to turn it intothe preferred reference for studying new therapeutic processes.This Lexicon is the fi rst of its kind, after numerous encyclopedia of symbolsand dictionaries of dreams, which were never made consistent at once with atherapeutic process and with their translation in reverse. Indeed a lexicon mustenable the practice of linguistic interpretation for a theme and not only a version.The latter is enabled by Tome 2, the «Vocabulary of Symbols and Images» for atherapy by the Imaginary in Action.A practical template for decrypting methodically any TIA scenario is presentedin Tome 2. It is readily usable for scenarios dreamt in any culture and expressedin any spoken language, as dream scenarios are expressed in words, which servemerely as pointers to symbolic images.This active and effi cient therapy consists in exploiting the natural healing functionof the imaginary, more effi cient than any psychotherapist' attempt at directingthe patient's consciousness, which can only be a hindrance. Transference andcounter-transference in TIA are nurtured only between the dreamers and their ownunconscious, adding to the cure an astounded discovery of the Self by the patient.
