Dreams in the Elderly, Herbert J. Cogan, MSW, Member, IPTAR
Chief Psychiatric Social Worker, Brooklyn Mental Health Services of HIP
Former Adjunct Professor in Interpersonal Communications,
The New School

In this seminar, Dr. Herbert Cogan will discuss his dreams at age 91. His account is of interest because of how his dreams differ markedly and regularly from his dreams of several years earlier and from those of his patients. Unlike the latter, they may or may not connect to day residues, but in any case do not lend themselves further to dynamic associations, latent dream thoughts or ultimately to possible wishes. They act as signs, rather than symbols, to a seemingly random variety or combination of early memories.

Educational Objectives:
After attending this activity, participants will:

2. determine the ways in which those dreams function as different markers for his current life.

3. extrapolate the ways in which the dreams act as signs of brain activity rather than express the meaning reflective of the dreamer’s inner life.

4. identify the distinguishing factors between dreams presented by patients and the dreams discussed by the presenter.

Who Should Attend:

Mental health professionals (psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and licensed psychotherapists).
