The use of hypnotic dreaming in the treatment of the borderline patient: some thoughts on resistance and transitional phenomena.

Abstract This paper examines some phenomena of resistance to learning and utilizing self-hypnosis which may occur in the treatment of patients with borderline level ego organization and pathology. Conflicts around separation, individuation, and the constancy of selflother representations are highlighted as significant dynamic factors central to this resistance. The use of hypnotic dreams and the facilitation of transitional relatedness through dream processes and symbols are suggested and discussed as avenues for the clinical management of resistance to auto-hypnosis in hypnotherapy with these patients.
