Description - The Neuropsychology of Dreams by Mark Solms
This volume reports on a study in which the clinico-anatomical method was applied systematically to the mental function of dreaming. The purpose of the study was to place disorders of dreaming on an equivalent footing with those of other higher mental functions such as the aphasias, apraxias and agnosias. Modern knowledge of the neurological organization of human mental functions was grounded upon systematic clinico-anatomical investigations of these functions under neuropathological conditions. It therefore seemed reasonable to assume that equivalent research into dreaming would provide analogous insights into the cerebral organization of this important but neglected function. Accordingly, the main purpose of the study was to identify changes in dreaming which are systematically associated with focal cerebral pathology and to describe the clinical and anatomical characteristics of those changes. The goal, in short, was to establish a nosology of dream disorders with neuropathological significance.
