David Tuckett trained in Economics, Medical Sociology and Psychoanalysis and held previous positions at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School and Bedford College (University of London) and Cambridge University. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Psychoanalysis (London) and has worked part-time in psychoanalytic clinical practice since 1977. He is currently Director of the UCL Centre for the Study of Decision-Making Uncertainty, Principal Investigator for the CRUISSE network (Confronting Radical Uncertainty in Science, Society and the Environment), and a Senior Research Fellow with the place-based renewal team at the Blavatnik School of Government of Oxford University. His research work, attempting to integrate insights psychoanalysis, sociology, cognitive psychology and economics, covers Economic and Financial Decision-Making, Psychoanalysis and Medical Sociology.

“The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to the unconscious activities of the mind.” (Freud, 1900).

Psychoanalysis would not exist if Freud had not paid attention to both his patients’ dreams and his own. It was this investigation that enabled him to construct his radically new model of the mind. Should we still take dreams seriously, or are they a distraction? Are nightmares and traumatic dreams different from those that help us think? How do psychoanalysts today listen to dreams, and how are they used in modern clinical practice?
