Betty L. Thompson, Ed.D., has had more than forty years of clinical practice in New York City as a psychoanalyst and psychological specialist in the field of dreams.

Developing the use of the Five Element Chart to help her clients, she became known for unraveling dreams at their deepest level. She has been using, teaching, and researching this method which features color and its related elements in her practice since 1979.

She retired at the age of ninety.  There are further books that should be published in the future, including a book of memorable dreams that will help people deepen their understanding of the dream chart, and another using the Taoist approach to understand new world-views.
