RESUMEN
This chapter takes on the ambitious goal of describing dreaming across the lifespan, integrating both empirical dream research and clinical case examples. Each major stage of the lifespan is discussed, from infancy (where our knowledge of dreaming is speculative at best) to later adulthood. Written from the perspectives of a developmental sleep researcher and a clinician, the chapter weaves together what is known empirically with the usefulness of dreams at different stages to inform clinical understanding. We attempt to provide an integrative view of dreaming which embraces the fundamental ambiguity of dreams across the lifespan.

This article describes the triage assessment system (TAS) for crisis intervention. The TAS assesses affective, behavioral, and cognitive reactions of individuals to crisis events. This assessment model offers clinicians an understanding of the type of reactions clients are experiencing as well as the intensity of these reactions. The TAS provides a quick, accurate, and easy-to- use method that is directly usable in the intervention process. The system can also be used to monitor clients' progress during the intervention process. Two case illustrations are presented to demonstrate the use of the model. In addition, the Triage Assessment Form: Crisis Intervention is included as an Appendix.
