ABSTRACT
Neville, age sixty, was nearing the end of a long career as a psychiatric social worker but was experiencing a dark mood in his last year of employment before retirement. He came to see the author for a limited number of sessions through his company's employee assistance program. He transformed himself during this stage of life by working through a series of dreams. In his second session, Neville reported: he got assigned a new case, a young black man who had many problems. He did his thing trying to help the black man find housing and some welfare benefits. In the year or so that the author had known him, Neville had dreamed of his mother's home, an old house, an established Tudor house, a large house with many rooms, and his mom's cousin's house. This final dream was a representation of Neville's achievement of concordance with others—his wife, his family, and his community.
