Slide Show: Asklepios and the Practice of Dream Healing in Ancient Greece Staged reading: “The Man In The Jar” about the Greek philosopher-slave Diogenes Presenter and Author: Dr. Edward Tick, Ph.D., psychotherapist, Greek scholar, poet, author. Dr. Edward Tick, author of The Practice of Dream Healing, Bringing Ancient Greek Mysteries into Modern Medicine, is known for his devotion to treating the invisible wounds of war. He highlights the holistic teachings of the Greek god of healing, Asklepios, whose healing practices dominated for 2000 years with temples from Asia Minor to Greece. The Asklepian tradition is the origin of medicine and psychotherapy in the Western world, whose most noted student, Hippocrates, is the founder of scientific medicine. Central to Asklepian healing is dream incubation, whereby the patient undergoes holistic rituals to receive a healing dream. Dr. Tick shares the tradition’s impact upon Jungian psychology, his patients and his own life. After 25 years of leading pilgrimages to holy sites in Greece, Dr. Tick now invites Asklepios to visit America, originating on Cape Cod. After his lecture, Dr. Tick will perform a staged reading from his original play about the Greek cynic philosopher and truth teller, Diogenes, entitled “The Man in the Jar,” first staged in Athens, Greece.
