Remembering my mentor

I worked with Dr. Wilmer (or as many of his V.A. patients called him, "Dr. Harry) from 1978-1983, when I was one of his students and psychiatric residents at the University of Texas Medical School at San Antonio. His ability to take Jung's theory of dream interpretation and put it into practical use in the course of therapy was impressive and powerful. Twice a week with 25-30 seriously disturbed veterans on an inpatient unit, he would have his "dream seminars", in which the analysis of 2 patients dreams from the previous night, truly became a therapeutic experience for all concerned. Harry "demystifies" Jung and and at the same time he never ignores the advances of the "science" of dreams and sleep research. A scientist/psychiatrist/therapist of great wisdom. I am deeply grateful for those years I worked with him.
