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. Inquiries may be
directed to 484-EYES.

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.
