The Owl and the Dreamcatcher - Paperback

With wit and wisdom, The Owl and the Dreamcatcher explores the interior lives of two people: eighteen-year-old Christina, who feels she has no purpose in life, and Dr. Esther, her therapist. Using dreams to help Christina unlock hidden thoughts and memories about family, death, sexuality, and the therapy relationship, Dr. Esther helps Christina gain self-esteem and grow into her authentic self. But the work forces Dr. Esther to confront her own unresolved issues. She returns to her former therapist for help in understanding her failed marriage, her fraught relationship with her mother, and her midlife crisis. For both women, dreams are the "royal road to the unconscious."
