FEATURED AUTHOR
Charles Corliss
Dr. Corliss has always been fascinated by dream theory, especially the work of C. G. Jung. In studying Jung, Corliss came across the name of Herbert Silberer, and was moved by his tragic story. A brilliant theorist, Silberer was ostracized by the psychoanalytic community, took his own life, and had his writings fade into oblivion. Dr. Corliss, troubled by this injustice , and impressed by Silberer's work, proceeded to unearth these writings. This book is the end product of such excavation.

Dr. Corliss' work on Herbert Silberer is both an extension of his commitment to the marginalized, as well as a reflection of his connection to depth psychology -- especially the meaning of dreams and symbols. Corliss has attempted to return the voice of a promising theorist that was silenced almost a century ago back into the 'early pioneers of psychoanalysis' debate.
