An "Authentic Wholeness" Synthesis of Jungian and Existential Analysis Samuel Minier Wittenberg University Eclectic approaches to psychotherapy often lack cohesion due to the focus on technique and procedure rather than theory and wholeness of both the person and of the therapy. A synthesis of Jungian and existential therapies overcomes this trend by demonstrating how two theories may be meaningfully integrated The consolidation of the shared ideas among these theories reveals a notion of "authentic wholeness' that may be able to stand on its own as a therapeutic objective. Reviews of both analytical and existential psychology are given. Differences between the two are discussed, and possible reconciliation are offered. After noting common elements in these shared approaches to psychotherapy, a hypothetical therapy based in authentic wholeness is explored. Weaknesses and further possibilities conclude the proposal In the last thirty years, so-called "pop Van Dusen (1962) cautions that the differences among psychology" approaches to psychotherapy have existential theorists are vital to the understanding of effectively demonstrated the dangers of combining existentialism, that "[when] existential philosophy has disparate therapeutic elements.

  • Letters of Psychotherapy the NORDIC PSYCHIATRIST
    THE NORDIC PSYCHIATRIST Issue 1 2017 Letters of Psychotherapy THE NORDIC PSYCHIATRIST Letters of psychiatry Psychotherapy is one of the most used treatment methods in modern psychiatry. Treatment through verbal communication has been used through the centuries as medics, philosophers, and spiritual practitioners have used psychological methods to heal others. The term psychotherapy derives from ancient Greek “psyche”, meaning spirit or soul and “therapeia” meaning healing or medical treat- ment. A modern definition of psychotherapy would be "treatment of disorders of the mind or person- ality by psychological methods”. Not too long ago, a clinician in psychiatry was expected to choose sides regarding how he or she conceptualised psychiatry, both in terms of diagnosis and treatment. The two standpoints were either the “biological one” – or the “psychotherapeutic one”. The latter was synonymous with the practice of insight-oriented therapies, with the focus on revealing or interpreting unconscious processes. The relief of symptoms was not the main focus of the treatment, but to unveil the unconscious conflict. For years, psychodynamic therapy was the only therapy of choice. With time new methods arose, and were scientifically evaluated. As the concept of evidence entered the stage, psychodynamic practi- tioners were challenged by therapists using cognitive-behavioural and systemic techniques. Over the last decades, numerous therapies have been introduced. Initially, psychotherapy was performed by doctors. Over the years, psychologists have become more or less synonymous with psychotherapy. Today, fewer doctors are trained as psychotherapists, and it is often debated to which degree psychotherapy should be a part of specialist training in psychiatry. Earlier assumed harmless, the potential side effects of psychotherapy are nowadays highlighted in a new way, comparing them with drug therapy.

  • Social Dreaming Applications in Academic and Community Settings
    Dreaming Psychoanalysis Forward: Social Dreaming Applications in Academic and Community Settings George Bermudez, Ph.D. Matt Silverstein, Ph.D. ―Thirdness is that quality of human existence that transcends individuality, permits and constricts that which can be known, and wraps all our sensibilities in ways that we experience as simultaneously alien as well as part of ourselves. Thirdness is the medium in which we live and that changes history, moments into time, and fragments into a whole.‖ Samuel Gerson (2009) When the third is dead: Memory, mourning, and witnessing in the aftermath of the holocaust. The International Journal of Psychoanalysis, 90, 1341-1357. ―And I hold that it is true that dreams are faithful interpreters of our inclinations; but there is an art required to sorting and understanding them.‖ Montaigne, ―Of Experience‖ Introduction: Psychoanalysis and Dreams: Is there a Role for “Social Dreaming?” Emphasizing what he perceives as the one hundred plus year ―love/hate‖ relationship between dreams and psychoanalysis, Lippmann (2000) decries the devalued status of dreams (theoretically and clinically) in contemporary psychoanalysis, generated by a fickle relationship that reflects the nearly universal ambivalence towards the unconscious, that unruly dimension of human experience that will not submit to our Western desires for mastery and domination. While we agree with Lippmann‘s overall assessment of our ambivalent attitudes toward dreams and the unconscious, we do not share his pessimism concerning the potential for re-integration with psychoanalysis. In contrast, it is our contention that contemporary psychoanalysis (a pluralistic conceptual landscape that parallels the complexity and ambiguity of the unconscious) offers renewed possibilities for the re-integration of dreams: for us, dreams remain the quintessential representation of the unconscious, the unformulated, the dissociated, and the repressed.

Background of the Pioneer and Century Certificate Project Even before the impetus of the Bicentennial year and the appearance of Alex Haley's Roots, more and more people were becoming interested in genealogy. Fifty years ago, the word was apt to mean an exercise aimed at qualifying for membership in an exclusive society. Today, its meaning has broadened to acconnnodate an increased awareness of the value of family and national heritages. Realization has come, too, that in a time of great social change, the knowledge of these--placing the individual, as it were, in a context--can stabilize and illuminate the sense of self.

  • Body Dreamwork Using Focusing to Find the Life Force Inherent in Dreams Leslie A
    Body Dreamwork Using Focusing to Find the Life Force Inherent in Dreams Leslie A. Ellis Received: 16.11.2018; Revised: 17.09.2019; Accepted: 23.09.2019 ABSTRACT Finding and embodying the life force or “help” in a dream is the central practice of focusing-oriented dreamwork. This article briefly introducesfocusing (Gendlin, 1978/1981) and its application to dreamwork, and provides a case example with a transcript of how to guide a dreamer to find the life force in a distressing dream. The practice of embodying the dream’s life force provides the dreamer with an embodied resource that can be an end in itself, and can also facilitate working with the more challenging aspects of dreams and nightmares. Research and clinical examples support the use of this technique in clinical practice, and demonstrate how it can provide clinically significant relief from nightmare distress and other symptoms of PTSD. Keywords: dreamwork, focusing, nightmares, embodiment, psychotherapy International Body Psychotherapy Journal The Art and Science of Somatic Praxis Volume 18, Number 2, Fall/Winter 2019/20 pp. 75-85 ISSN 2169-4745 Printing, ISSN 2168-1279 Online © Author and USABP/EABP. Reprints and permissions [email protected] “A dream is alive,” according to Gendlin (2012), a philosopher and psychologist who developed the gentle somatic inquiry practice called focusing (1978/1981). He said that every dream contains life force—sometimes obvious and sometimes hidden— and that the main objective of working with dreams is to locate and embody this life force. This article describes how to do so, first by providing a brief introduction to focusing theory and practice and how it applies to dreamwork, then by grounding the theory through a clinical example of a dream that came to life.

  • Vygotsky's Stage Theory: the Psychology of Art and the Actor
    Mind, Culture, and Activity, 18: 319–341, 2011 Copyright © Regents of the University of California on behalf of the Laboratory of Comparative Human Cognition ISSN 1074-9039 print / 1532-7884 online DOI: 10.1080/10749039.2010.518300 Vygotsky’s Stage Theory1: The Psychology of Art and the Actor under the Direction of Perezhivanie Peter Smagorinsky The University of Georgia This article reviews Vygotsky’s writings on arts (particularly logocentric art including the theater) and emotions, drawing on his initial exploration in ThePsychologyofArtand his final considerations set forth in a set of essays, treatises, and lectures produced in the last years of his life. The review of The Psychology of Art includes attention to the limits of his analysis, the mixed Marxist legacy that is evident in the book, the cultural blinders that affect his vision of the relative value of differ- ent artistic productions, the content of what he elsewhere refers to his “tedious investigations” into extant views, and the gist of what he considers to be the essence of art. Attention to his late work falls into two areas: Emotion in formal drama and emotion in everyday drama, each of which involves perezhivanie, roughly but incompletely characterized as emotional experience. The article concludes with an effort to situate Vygotsky’s writing on art and emotion both within his broader effort to artic- ulate a comprehensive developmental psychology of socially, culturally, and historically grounded individuals and social groups, and within scholarship that has extended and questioned his work as his influence has expanded beyond the clinics of Soviet Moscow.

  • An Integrative Look at the Psychology of Creative Writing
    P1: PjU CUUS563-21 cuus563 ISBN: 978 0 521 88164 7 Top: 0.3764in Gutter: 0.87828in March 13, 2009 3:5 21 Putting the Parts Together: An Integrative Look at the PsychologyofCreativeWriting scott barry kaufman and james c. kaufman As should be evident from reading this book, the psychology of creative writing is complex and multifaceted, and there are many different levels in which it may be investigated. We decided to focus on five levels in this book. There is much overlap, however, among these five levels, and an understanding of one level typically increases our understanding of one or more other levels. Therefore, we would argue that a more complete understanding of the psychology of creative writing could be gained by the investigation of each of the five levels and their interactions. What are these levels? At one level, this book tries to further our understanding of the psychology of the creative writer. What are creative writers like? Are there characteristics that differentiate them from other types of writers? From professionals in other fields? At the second level is the actual text. How can an understanding of the printed word help elucidate the psychology of creative writing? The third level is about the process. What is the creative writing process? Are there certain processes that lead to more success in creative writing? At the fourth level is the development of creative writing as well as the development of the creative writer. How can creative writing be improved? How can the actual creative writing process help people cope with stress, traumatic events, or even mental illness? And finally, at the fifth level is the teaching of creative writing in schools and workshops.
