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.

PREFACE PHILOSOPHY Therapeutic work with families is a recent scientific phenomenon but an ancient art. Throughout human history, designated persons in all cultures have helped couples and families cope, adjust, and grow. In the United States, the interest in assisting families within a healing context began in the 20th century and continues into the 21st. Family life has always been of interest, but because of economic, social, political, and spiritual val- ues, outsiders made little direct intervention, except for social work, into ways of helping family functioning until the 1950s. Now, there are literally thousands of professionals who focus their attention and skills on improving family dynamics and relationships. In examining how professionals work to assist families, the reader should keep in mind that there are as many ways of offering help as there are kinds of families. How- ever, the most widely recognized methods are counseling, therapy, educational enrich- ment, and prevention. The general umbrella term for remediation work with families is family therapy . This concept includes the type of work done by family professionals who identify themselves by different titles, including marriage and family therapists, licensed professional counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, pastoral counselors, and clergy. Family therapy is not a perfect term; it is bandied about by a number of professional associations, such as the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), the American Counseling Association (ACA), the American Psychological Association (APA), and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW).

  • 3. Helping Relationship Comps Review
    3. Helping Relationship l. Helping relationships Considerable research evidence suggests that the relationship in counseling is the determining factor whether or not counseling is successful. Theories of counseling provide the underlying philosophy and strategies for building and maintaining this relationship. Four key elements in building this relationship are: 1. Human relations core: empathy, respect and genuineness as identified by Carl Rogers. 2. Social influence core: competence, power and intimacy. Expertness, attractiveness, and trustworthiness were identified by Stanley Strong in his social influence model. 3. Skills core: Allen Ivey identified microskills-communication skill units such as attending, inquiry and reflection. 4. Theory core: These help the counselor understand self and interpersonal relationships and skills. They also help to understand the problems of clients and help to choose interventions that are likely to be effective with the identified problems. 2. Psychoanalytic (Sigmund Freud) Freud identified a structure of personality: Id: Unconscious motivation or energy is the id ruled by the pleasure principle. Ego: The ego is controlled by the reality principle Superego: the superego is internalized ethics. Therapy techniques include: Free association Interpretation of dreams and other client material. Transference (projections onto therapist) must be worked through. Countertransference consists of projections of the therapist onto the patient. 3. Neo-Freudians A number of psychoanalysts moved away from Freud's emphasis on the id as the dominant psychological force and placed more emphasis on the ego, including both psychodynamic and sociodynamic forces. Karen Horney: Security is each person's major motivation and the person becomes anxious when it is not achieved. Irrational ways to mend disrupted human relationships may become neurotic needs.

  • Existential and Humanistic Theories
    Existential Theories 1 RUNNING HEAD: EXISTENTIAL THEORIES Existential and Humanistic Theories Paul T. P. Wong Graduate Program in Counselling Psychology Trinity Western University In Wong, P. T. P. (2005). Existential and humanistic theories. In J. C. Thomas, & D. L. Segal (Eds.), Comprehensive Handbook of Personality and Psychopathology (pp. 192-211). Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Existential Theories 2 ABSTRACT This chapter presents the historical roots of existential and humanistic theories and then describes four specific theories: European existential-phenomenological psychology, Logotherapy and existential analysis, American existential psychology and American humanistic psychology. After examining these theories, the chapter presents a reformulated existential-humanistic theory, which focuses on goal-striving for meaning and fulfillment. This meaning-centered approach to personality incorporates both negative and positive existential givens and addresses four main themes: (a) Human nature and human condition, (b) Personal growth and actualization, (c) The dynamics and structure of personality based on existential givens, and (c) The human context and positive community. The chapter then reviews selected areas of meaning-oriented research and discusses the vital role of meaning in major domains of life. Existential Theories 3 EXISTENTIAL AND HUMANISTIC THEORIES Existential and humanistic theories are as varied as the progenitors associated with them. They are also separated by philosophical disagreements and cultural differences (Spinelli, 1989, 2001). Nevertheless, they all share some fundamental assumptions about human nature and human condition that set them apart from other theories of personality. The overarching assumption is that individuals have the freedom and courage to transcend existential givens and biological/environmental influences to create their own future.

The Demonic in the Self But ancient Violence longs to breed, new Violence comes when its fatal hour comes, the demon comes to take her toll – no war, no force, no prayer can hinder the midnight Fury stamped with parent Fury moving through the house. – Aeschylus, Agamemnon1 Demons were chasing me, trying to eat me. They were grotesque, surreal, and they just kept pursuing me wherever I went. I was fighting them with some kind of sword, hacking them to pieces. But each time I would cut one into small pieces, another would appear. – A dream of a patient; Stephen A. Diamond, Anger, Madness, and the Daimonic2 THE SELF The self is a problem. The long history of educated discussion about the human self has not succeeded in producing a consensus. Scholars working in the same discipline do not necessarily agree on the fundamentals when de- bating how a human being should be understood. This is even truer as we cross disciplinary boundaries. Some think it is not necessary to presume the existence of something like the “self,” others consider it more fruitful to ap- proach human existence from different levels of observation altogether. In the area of literature and literary studies, in psychology, as well as in other areas where individual experience is of paramount importance, the self nev- ertheless continues to raise interest.

  • The Early History of Psychoanalysis in San Francisco
    Benveniste, D. (2006) The Early History of Psychoanalysis in San Francisco. Psychoanalysis and History. 8(2) July 2006. The Early History of Psychoanalysis in San Francisco Daniel Benveniste, Ph.D. Caracas, Venezuela The early history of psychoanalysis in San Francisco formally begins with the opening of Alfred Kroeber’s psychoanalytic office in 1918 and ends with the death of Siegfried Bernfeld in 1953. Between those years, San Francisco witnessed a small group of Americans and European émigrés coming together and creating the foundation of psychoanalysis in San Francisco. The issues dominating the day were those of lay analysis, psychoanalytic training models and World War II. Within this small psychoanalytic community, there were a number of extremely creative analysts who, along with the rest, participated in some rare moments in which a creative and ecumenical spirit prevailed and others in which divisiveness limited them. Without a historical context, those of us in the depth psychologies tend to become arrogant and assert the ahistorical and timeless truth of our views. We fall victim to "the narcissism of minor differences" and project our dreaded other onto the various others around us whether they be pop psychology innovators, old guard upholders of the dogma, or just our theoretical cousins. But psychoanalysis is not a natural science. It is a historical science. Nathan Adler used to say, "Every generation must rediscover psychoanalysis for itself." And I would add that we must contextualize our discoveries and re-discoveries in the social, historical and economic moment in which we are situated. There are many reasons for recalling the early history of the depth psychologies in San Francisco.

  • Structural Family Therapy
    CHAPTER 12 Structural Family Therapy She flips through a magazine on the blue-striped couch sometimes entertained but often bored, while he gulps down popcorn and televised football, feeling occasionally excited yet often empty. At midnight when the lights go off and the news of the day and the games are decided, She lays in anticipation, but without hope, of his touch while he tackles fullbacks in his sleep and ignores his needs and hers. Alone, they together form a couple, together, all alone, they long for a relationship. Gladding, 1991c CHAPTER OVERVIEW From reading this chapter, you will learn about ■ Why structural family therapy was created and the importance of boundaries and hierarchies in this approach. ■ The major theorists, premises, techniques, roles of the therapist, processes, and outcomes of structural family therapy. ■ The uniqueness of the structural family therapy approach. As you read, consider ■ What type of family boundaries and subsystems were most prevalent in your family of origin. ■ The feminist argument that structural family therapy promotes sexual stereotypes. ■ How comfortable you would be acting like a theater director if you were a structural family therapist. 297 298 Part 2 • Therapeutic Approaches to Working with Families tructural family therapy was initially based on the experiences of Salvador Minuchin and his colleagues at the Wiltwyck School, a residential facility in Esopus, New SYork, for inner-city delinquents. The treatment was created out of necessity. Long- term, passive, and historically based approaches to working with the families of these children proved unsuccessful ( Piercy, Sprenkle, & Wetchler, 1997 ). The active and often aggressive nature of family members at the Wiltwyck School and their tendencies to blame others and react immediately meant therapists had to be powerful and quick.
