In particular, the therapist and/or patient may struggle to hold the tension between the latter’s personal neuroses and how transpersonal/archetypal elements inform his/her experience. While Jung strove to develop a treatment that dealt primarily with the archetypal/objective psyche, the personal psyche is arguably the medium through which the archetypes are experienced. I contend that the “discipline” of Jungian analysis evolved from a transposition of Jung’s ideas around transpersonal, philosophical and religious themes (borne out of his own self-analysis), into a two-person psychotherapeutic process. Jung provides little description of his clinical encounters and the way in which he conducted his analyses leaving an uncertainty that has likely contributed to the divergence of approaches practised today by analytical psychologists. This article considers the implication of these divergences for contemporary Jungian practice and proposes a way of working in the Jungian spirit that maintains a connection to the symbolic realm while at the same time remaining focused on the complexities of personal and relational dynamics.</p><p>Alors que le concept jungien d’archétype a eu un attrait et une importance majeure et universelle, ce qui demeure moins évident est de savoir comment ces idées peuvent bénéficier au patient en analyse. En particulier, le thérapeute et/ou le patient peuvent peiner à contenir la tension entre les névroses personnelles du patient et la manière dont les éléments transpersonnels/archétypaux façonnent son expérience. Alors que Jung s’est efforcé de développer un traitement qui s’occupait essentiellement de la psyché objective/archétypale, c’est la psyché personnelle qui est probablement l’intermédiaire par lequel on fait l’expérience des archétypes. Je soutiens que la « discipline » analyse jungienne est issue de la transposition des idées de Jung autour de thèmes transpersonnels, philosophiques et religieux (issus de sa propre auto-analyse), et qu’elle est progressivement devenue un processus psychothérapeutique impliquant deux personnes. Jung fournit peu de descriptions de ses rencontres cliniques et de la manière dont il conduisait ses analyses, ce qui laisse de l’incertitude. Ceci a probablement contribué au fait qu’il y a des divergences dans les approches utilisées aujourd’hui par les psychologues analytiques. Cet article examine les conséquences de ces divergences pour la pratique contemporaine de l’analyse jungienne. Il propose une manière de travailler dans l’esprit jungien c’est-à-dire en maintenant le lien avec le domaine symbolique, mais tout en restant concentré sur les complexités des dynamiques personnelles et relationnelles.</p><p>Obgleich Jungs Vorstellung von Archetypen eine weitreichende universelle Anziehungskraft und Bedeutung hatte, bleibt e","PeriodicalId":45420,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY","volume":"69 3","pages":"367-388"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140898862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The concepts were: The Primitive, Inner and Outer Worlds, Contrasexuality and <i>Participation Mystique</i>. The discussions were informed by clinical material and specific papers chosen for their critical evaluation of the topic. Four recorded transcripts were made, with permission, for further consideration of the relationship between contemporary Jungian theory and practice using the research method of thematic analysis. Three main themes were identified: Work of Analysis, Frames of Reference and Power Dynamics. The authors discuss the themes in relation to the overarching theme of power, understood as operating at conscious and unconscious levels. The artwork “Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View” by Cornelia Parker is used as a metaphor in discussing the dynamic of challenging foundational concepts. The authors suggest that power dynamics are intrinsic in both the difficulty and the benefits of critically evaluating key concepts, binding together the theoretical (what informs us) with the clinical (what we do in the consulting room) as well as blowing apart pre-conceived notions of what underpins the analyst’s work.</p><p>Les auteurs de cet article ont fait partie de groupes d’analystes jungiens qui se sont rencontrés pour débattre de quatre concepts théoriques fondamentaux, chacun de ces concepts étant perçu comme problématique si on l’utilise dans la pratique contemporaine sans se poser de questions.

He then returned home to Alexandria, near which he died in a car crash. <i>The Logos of the Soul</i>, published posthumously, argued for a psychology that would be neither a natural scientific psychology, devoted to causal analyses, nor a philosophical discipline that analysed mental events. Psychology would be an autonomous science of the soul, an unknown distinct from body and mind. Science deals with bodies and behaviours; philosophy with the mental concepts and acts. Psychology deals with “psychological experience”. Dreams and fantasies can be sources of psychological experience, but so can perceptual acts and mental acts. Meaning occurs when something encounters an ego or self in a psychological experience. Observation in psychology is participant observation, akin to witnessing of a drama. Psychological methods, such as psychotherapy, are both means of discovery and means of becoming. Christou’s work brought together Jung’s analytical psychology and mid-century British philosophy in order to stake out the ground for psychology that would be an empirical analysis of psychological experience and a logical analysis of the concepts used in that psychology.</p><p>Après qu’Evangelos Christou (1923-1956) ait étudié la philosophie au King’s College à Cambridge, avec Wittgenstein et d’autres, il fit un doctorat à l’Institut Jung de Zurich. Il retourna ensuite à Alexandrie, où il mourut peu de temps après dans un accident de voiture. <i>The Logos of the Soul</i>, publié à titre posthume, plaide pour une psychologie qui ne serait ni une psychologie scientifique naturelle, dédiée aux analyses causales, ni une discipline philosophique qui analyse les événements du mental. La psychologie serait une science autonome de l’âme, une inconnue distincte du corps et du mental. La science traite des corps et des comportements; la philosophie s’occupe des concepts et des actes. La psychologie s’intéresse à « l’expérience psychologique ». Les rêves et les fantasmes peuvent être des sources d’expérience psychologique, mais il en est de même pour les actes de perception et les actes du mental. Le sens apparait quand quelque chose rencontre un moi ou un soi dans une expérience psychologique. L’observation en psychologie est une observation participative, qui s’apparente à être témoin d’une pièce dramatique. Les méthodes psychologiques, telles la psychothérapie, sont à la fois des moyens d’exploration et des moyens pour devenir. L’œuvre de Christou a relié la psychologie analytique de Jung et la philosophie britannique du milieu du siècle afin de revendiquer le terrain pour une psychologie qui serait une analyse empirique de l’expérience psychologique et une analyse logique des concepts utilisés dans cette psychologie.</p><p>Nachdem Evangelos Christou (1923–1956) am Kings College in Cambridge bei ","PeriodicalId":45420,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY","volume":"69 3","pages":"455-477"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140892788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
