BACKGROUND Previous studies have implicated the cyclic adenosine monophosphate/protein kinase A pathway as well as FosB and dynorphin-B expression mediated by dopamine D1 receptor stimulation in the development of 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-L-alanine (L-DOPA)-induced dyskinesia. The magnitude of these molecular changes correlates with the intensity of dyskinesias. The calcium-binding protein downstrea...

Finally, we review how dream content can be used to understand client, the role of culture in dream work, client and therapist dreams about each other, and training therapists to do dream work.

The dreamer returns from this daring trip someti...

The present summary is the fourth and final report of a dream naturalistic work begun on August 13, 1992. The initial impetus for this study was to follow in the footsteps and/or heed the need expressed by other dream researchers (4-11) to conduct naturalistic observations of dream events and content: that this approach was desirable and as genuine a methodology as dream laboratory research. Th...

We tested the hypothesis (McNamara 1996; Zborowski and McNamara 1998) that dream recall and dream content would pattern with interpersonal attachment styles. In study I, college student volunteers were assessed on measures of attachment, dream recall, dream content and other psychologic measures. Results showed that participants who were classified as 'high' on an 'insecure attachment' scale we...
