ABSTRACT

In this paper, newly uncovered archival material from the Bowlby archives is presented on Bowlby’s own dreams and dream interpretation. Although he was critical of orthodox psychoanalysis, Bowlby appears to have been seriously involved in Freudian dream interpretation in the 1930s and 1940s. Here, we present in annotated form his own interpretations of several of his dreams from that time and a series of lectures on dreams. In Attachment and Loss, classic dream interpretation is absent and Bowlby used the content of dreams as a reflection of the influence of real-life experiences on the representations of attachment relations, with a clear focus on grief, loss, and mourning. Bowlby’s shift from psychoanalysis to a more behavioral approach and the introduction of the concept of “defensive exclusion” to supplant Freud’s concept of “repression” may have led him to think about how grief and mourning may affect the content of our dreams.

摘要

在这篇论文中，鲍尔比档案中新发现的档案材料是关于鲍尔比自己的梦境和梦境解释的。尽管鲍尔比对正统的精神分析持批评态度，但他似乎在 1930 年代和 1940 年代认真参与了弗洛伊德的梦境解释。在这里，我们以注释的形式呈现他自己对当时的几个梦的解释以及一系列关于梦的讲座。在附件和丢失，经典的梦境解释不存在，鲍尔比将梦境的内容作为现实生活经验对依恋关系表征的影响的反映，并明确关注悲伤、失落和哀悼。鲍尔比从精神分析转向更行为的方法，并引入“防御性排斥”概念来取代弗洛伊德的“压抑”概念，这可能使他思考悲伤和哀悼如何影响我们的梦想内容。
