Within this framework, it can be seen that there are forms of relation to the therapist that may enable psychic growth and development to proceed relatively steadily, if not altogether unopposed. On the other hand, we may encounter in the patient extremes of fear, suspicion and distrust of both the analyst/parent and the psychoanalytic or the truth-seeking parts (to use Bion's notion) of the patient's personality. I propose that these stem from potentially overwhelming anxieties to do with being lost—through being controlled or devoured or annihilated, wholly or partially—in the early developmental process of making a relation with the object. That may lead to the formation of a psychological system in which what the author calls a “do-it-yourself without mother” part of the personality takes a leading role. The author aims to illustrate this “do-it-yourself” relation with the object with clinical material.</p><p>L'auteur soutient que la relation entre le potentiel inné de créativité véritable d'un individu au sein de sa vie mentale et les phénomènes que Jung (1960/1969) appelait « destruction psychique massive » (para. 428) est au cœur même de l'analyse du transfert-contre-transfert infantile. Dans ce cadre, on observe que certaines formes de relation au thérapeute peuvent permettre une croissance et un développement psychiques relativement réguliers, voire sans opposition. D'autre part, on peut rencontrer chez le patient des extrêmes de peur, de suspicion et de méfiance envers l'analyste/parent et les composantes psychanalytiques ou de recherche de vérité (pour reprendre la notion de Bion) de sa personnalité. Je propose que ces sentiments proviennent d'angoisses potentiellement accablantes liées à la perte – par le fait d'être contrôlé, dévoré ou anéanti, totalement ou partiellement – dans le processus développemental précoce de création d'une relation avec l'objet. Cela pourrait conduire à la formation d'un système psychologique dans lequel ce que l'auteur appelle une part de la personnalité « autonome sans mère » occupe une place prépondérante. L'auteur cherche à illustrer cette relation « autonome » avec l'objet à l'aide de matériel clinique.</p><p>Der Autor vertritt die Ansicht, daß die Beziehung zwischen dem angeborenen Potential eines Individuums für wahre Kreativität in seinem geistigen Leben und den Phänomenen, die Jung (1960/1969) als \"psychische Massenvernichtung\" (Absatz 428) bezeichnete, im Mittelpunkt der Analyse der infantilen Übertragung-Gegenübertragung steht.

From 1928 to 1951, Jung’s informal formulations led to more than one understanding of synchronicity. He even tried to apply synchronicity to an astrological experiment. Yet, the experimental results reveal that synchronicity cannot be verified by natal astrology. However, post-Jungian astrologers still pursue synchronicity in their astrological theories. In this article, Jung’s synchronicity theory is reviewed again to reassert the threshold of Jung’s original conceptualization of synchronicity as a form of empirical phenomena. From there, the article focuses on the reception of the concept among two post-Jungian authors: Liz Greene and Richard Tarnas. They overlooked, each in their own way, Jung’s cautious epistemological attitude towards synchronicity in order to establish a grander cosmology for astrology. Finally, we suggest an alternative approach to discovering authentic synchronicity in astrology beyond the cosmological/metaphysical approach—by emphasizing the numinous foundation of the unconscious.</p>","PeriodicalId":45420,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY","volume":"70 5","pages":"808-824"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-5922.70016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145284816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is still no empirically based model for contemporary therapeutic dream work that integrates the findings of empirical and clinical dream research. Structural Dream Analysis (SDA) developed for this purpose is summarized with its research methodology and the results to date. The central assumption is that the agency of the dream ego (the figure in the dream that the dreamer experiences as the ego) to cope with and solve problems in the dream—as opposed to feeling threatened, being anxious and passive and having no solution—can be equated with ego strength in the psychodynamic sense, and that the improvement in the course of therapy is reflected in an increase in dream ego agency. A typology of six dream patterns has been developed that can be used to identify over 90% of dreams in clinical practice. The dream patterns are related to the patient’s specific problems, the themes of psychotherapy and progress in therapy in terms of improvement. The model has been confirmed in a number of empirical studies. The results support Jung’s theory of the dream as a self-representation of the psyche and his concept of interpretation at the subjective level.</p>","PeriodicalId":45420,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY","volume":"70 5","pages":"764-786"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-5922.70011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145284529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
