The Oregon Eye Associates, a non profit educational alliance of oph thalmologists, recently commis sioned a study by MarStat Market Research and Analysis. The study shows that virtually all ophthalmo logists practicing in Lane County regularly accept Medicaid and Medi care patients for elective surgery. The study indicates that people with vision problems who have not been consulting their ophthalmologists because they believed they could not afford surgery—in fact should go to their eye doctor and explain their financial situation so they can receive the care they need. Oregon Eye Associates exists to ensure that all members of the com munity receive quality eye care. The group offers information on vision and also offers information on sec ond opinions.

Dreambody and Personal Myth: Dr. Arnold Mindell Last Saturday Dr. Arnold Mindell visited Eugene to give a lecture on /Dreambody and Per sonal Myth. Dr. Mindell hails from Zurich, Switzerland where he is a psychotherapist, analyst and teacher at the Jungian In stitute. After some introductory re marks about the variety of dif ferent analytical and counseling schools and his desire to speak to this variety within a larger con text of “process oriented psy chology,” his talk turned to the subject of childhood dreams and how they seem to contain “maps” or paradigmatic schemas of personal psycholo gical development later in life. These dreams seem to set the scene and characters which turn up in our personal styles and relationships in adult life. Using two “case history” examples from his own practice, he demonstrated how the earliest recollected dreams of these clients contained, in symbolic guise, an extremely accurate sy nopsis of the personal style, at titudes, and accompanying diffi culties these people were living through in their adult lives. This is one of Mindell’s unique contributions—this idea of dreambody and the interplay of images and the body. He has written a book called Dream body: The Body's Role in Re vealing the Self (Sigo Press, 1982). He emphasized the im portance of a therapist’s ability to perceive the signals given by a client’s body posture, gestures, tone of voice, use of verbs, eye movements, physical ailments and so on. He points out that from the psychological per spective the style of communi cation is often more important that the content. By being attun ed to this background “body talk” one can often recognize the archetypal patterns found in a client’s childhood dreams. This “agreement” can be a powerful analytical tool, al lowing both client and therapist to see more clearly the psycho logical configurations at play in the client’s daily life and rela tionships. Generally avoiding a theo retical approach Mindell ulti mately states his belief that our dreams are lived out in our daily lives and, further, that all of our dreams may be different ver sions and elaborations of one dream unique to each of us from early childhood. * Using, as examples, his work with a very young boy who suf fered from extreme asthma and that of a young girl dying of can cer, he demonstrated how the active creative fantasy of chil dren can afford access, for the discerning analyst, to the same archetypal configurations one finds in the recollected child hood dreams of adults. Mindell's talk was freeflowing and personal and his use of ex amples from his practice was most miraculous in revealing in minutes insights that have taken many years to develop. One in sight that was particularly strik ing was the idea of disease as helping the body do what it wants, that is to help the dream come out: pain as gold-dust. —Tom Gushurst —E.
