Review Quotes 'Moves the discussion about the nature of dreams into a broader field. Coolidge does a sterling job. His selection of case studies, ideas and references comes together as a masterly mixture that will leave the enquiring mind ready and equipped to explore further. Five stars.' NURSING STANDARD
'I really enjoyed this book and found it interesting and informative not just at the professional level but also the personal - don't we all like to analyse our dreams? Clearly written and concise, I found this a very readable, insightful and interesting book.' THERAPY TODAY
'Concise. The coverage of nightmares, night terrors, sleep walking and restless leg syndrome is a nice inclusion. Each chapter progresses naturally and has clear subheadings, as well as a concluding summary of key points. An appealing book. Intriguing. A worthwhile purchase.' DOODY ENTERPRISES
