The present study uses heuristic research methods to demonstrate the efficacy of dream sharing to improve client-therapist and client-other relationships among adolescent clinical populations. Chapter two features a review of the available literature and traces some of the origins of modern American parenting and creates a sketch of both today's American family and adolescent. The resultant implications for developing a viable clinical relationship with such teens is then discussed, followed by a summary of current techniques used to establish such relationships. Chapter three presents four composite cases based on the authors experience conducting dream-based therapy with adolescents in an in-patient setting. Each case illustrates improved client-other relationships in four different realms: client-therapist, client-family, client-peer, and client-self respectively. Chapter four provides a summary and offers suggestions for future research based on the present findings.
