  • Report 2014 of the Eranos Foundation
    ANNUAL ACTIVITY REPORT ERANOS FOUNDATION YEAR 2014 Fondazione Eranos – Eranos Foundation P.O. Box 779 – 6612 Ascona – Switzerland www.eranosfoundation.org – [email protected] 2014 Annual Report Activity, Eranos Foundation Page 2 ANNUAL ACTIVITY REPORT 2014 OF THE ERANOS FOUNDATION 1. INTRODUCTION Throughout the year 2014, the endurance of the Foundation Board, combined with the kind attention and generosity of our financial and scientific partners, have allowed to further develop the various scien- tific activities and the reaching of a financial condition, which allows now to elaborate further relevant pro- jects. The Foundation has the big privilege to count among its faithful partners The Fetzer Institute of Kal- amazoo (MI, USA) as well as The Pacifica Graduate Institute of Santa Barbara (CA, USA). We are par- ticularly grateful to the Fetzer Institute for granting the financial support throughout the years 2013–2015. On the other hand, the Pacifica Graduate Institute has continued the scientific contacts with the Founda- tion and has been planning several activities to be held at Eranos in the mid-term future. Both partners contributed significantly to reinforce the network and the visibility of the Foundation and this allows us to better fulfil our mission. Thanks to the favorable real estate loan conditions offered by Banca della Svizzera Italiana (BSI), the Foundation could reach an operational status with an unprecedented optimism. Each member of the Board has intensely worked according to individual potential to support the ambitious scientific program proposed by the President, Prof. Fabio Merlini, in close collaboration with the Scientific Secretary, Dr. Ric- cardo Bernardini.

LO STILE TARDO a cura di Alessandro Baldacci e Amelia Valtolina novembre 2018 CAV - Centro Arti Visive Università degli Studi di Bergamo RICCARDO BERNARDINI L’ultimo Jung nella stanza di analisi Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961), come è noto, esercitò l’analisi per gran parte della sua vita professionale.1 Si dedicò privatamente alla pratica psicoterapeutica nella sua abitazione in Seestrasse 228 a Küsnacht, sul lago di Zurigo (attualmente sede del Haus C. G. Jung - Museum C. G. Jung und Emma Jung-Rauschenbach), dal 1909, anno in cui aveva rinunciato al proprio incarico di primario presso la clini- ca psichiatrica zurighese Bürghölzli (Shamdasani 2003: 89). Eppure, i resoconti di analisi svolte con Jung sono tuttora limitatissimi, per lo più confinati in resoconti privati, carteggi inediti e nella documenta- zione personale (Shamdasani 2011: xii). Parallelamente all’edizione critica delle opere junghiane, proseguita anche nel corso di questi ultimi decenni (Hoerni 2011; Bernardini 2012), sono tuttavia venuti alla luce elementi del lavoro psicotera- peutico di Jung grazie alla pubblicazione di frammenti di analisi, se non di veri e propri ‘diari clinici’, di alcuni pazienti e allievi, sui quali sono stati prodotti anche lavori storici e biografici. Tali testimonian- ze ci permettono, oggi, di ricomporre una immagine più verosimile, benché ancora frammentaria, dell’approccio clinico di Jung nel pe- riodo della sua ‘maturità analitica’ (indicativamente dagli anni ’30 al 1961, anno della sua morte) – approccio su cui si sarebbe costituita la cosiddetta “scuola ortodossa” (sulla base della classificazione delle correnti junghiane proposta da Gerhard Adler), la “Scuola di Zurigo” (secondo la tassonomia adottata da Michael Fordham) o la “scuola classica” (nella definizione di Andrew Samuels) (Samuels 1985: 27- 1 In questo articolo, con finalità storiche e non cliniche, i termini “analisi”, “terapia”, “psicoterapia” e “clinica” saranno utilizzati indistintamente.

  • Histoire De La Psychologie Analytique
    Histoire de la psychologie analytique L'histoire de la psychologie analytique est intimement liée à l'œuvre du psychiatre suisse Carl Gustav Jung, qui, à partir de la psychanalyse de Sigmund Freud, a développé une psychologie dynamique, postulant un inconscient collectif et des archétypes. Jung est peu à peu rejoint par des personnalités issues pour la plupart du monde médical, psychanalytique ou psychiatrique, qui élaborent ainsi une littérature abondante et diversifiée. Genèse de la psychologie analytique Les débuts : l'« école de Zurich » et la période psychanalytique Jung débute sa carrière comme psychiatre à la clinique psychiatrique universitaire de Zurich surnommé le BurghölzliI 1 en 1900. C'est dans cet hôpital universitaire, sous la direction d'Eugen Bleuler qu'il va, petit à petit, constituer sa nouvelle approche. Tout d'abord il amasse une somme importante de rêves et de délires de patients. Il met au point une méthode tenant de la psychanalyse, fondée sur l'échange verbal et sur l'étude des manifestations inconscientes ainsi que sur le transfert. Refusant l'hypnose comme Freud, Jung développe une approche amplificatoire des symboles oniriques, ce qui le distingue du fondateur de la psychanalyse. Enfin, il décrit un appareil psychique différent de la topique freudienne, notamment par l'hypothèse d'un inconscient collectif, qu'il conceptualise à la suite de l'étude des délires de son patient Emil SchwyzerI 2. Au début, Jung définit cette méthode comme une observation des profondeurs psychiques, empruntant à son mentor Eugen Bleuler le nom de « psychologie des profondeurs » ou (« Tiefenpsychologie » en allemand)I 3. Son versant expérimental, datant de ses travaux avec Franz Riklin, tente d'approcher les complexes grâce à la méthode dite des associations de motsI 4.
