Irving Slesar PhD

I have been a therapist for 50 years.

I began my career as one of the original investigators of sleep and dream phenomena and co-authored the definitive paper on the factors affecting dream recall.

As my career as a therapist evolved, I engaged in clinical work at the Country Place, a progressive residential treatment center in Litchfield, CT. At the Country Place, I was guided by Dr. Renee Nell, a personal student of C.J. Jung. I have developed therapeutic dream techniques, which work even with non-recallers, that have proven to be increasingly effective in treating families, individuals, couples, and children.

My training as a therapist has evolved through integrating the tools offered by spiritual disciplines and training in Jungian Dream Analysis.

Five decades of experience have taught me that each of us possesses an inner intelligence that can support our efforts toward a meaningful and productive life. I have found that my emphasis on supporting what is right in us produces better results than a narrow focus on what is wrong. These methods have enabled individuals to function more successfully and more creatively and to deepen an understanding of their behavior in their relationships and their work.

I have learned to listen to the whole person.
