Also held in the collection are interview transcripts about the Franklin Collective, which was a commune in Vermont during the 1970s; the history of the Hollister Ranch; Lincoln Steffens, who was a famous Socialist journalist and an uncle of Jane's; psychotherapy in the United States; and Jane’s experience of studying to be a Jungian analyst during the 1930s. Sound recordings in the collection include audiotapes of lectures by Jungians; lectures and interviews by the Wheelwrights; and an extensive collection of Dictaphone belts, many with typed transcripts, used by Jane for her correspondence and writings. Photographs include pictures of C.G. Jung, Marie-Louise von Franz, Mary Briner, and others. Biography/Organization History Jane Hollister Wheelwright (1905-2004) was a Jungian analyst and author, and Joseph Balch Wheelwright, MD (1906-1999) was a doctor and a Jungian analyst. Both studied with C.G. Jung, Marie Louise von Franz, and Toni Wolff in Zürich, Switzerland during the 1930s and practiced in San Francisco beginning in 1941. They were among the founders of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, and Joseph served as President of the International Association of Analytical Psychologogy. They were major figures in the dissemination of Jung’s ideas in America. Jane’s practice and writing focused on the connection between wilderness and psyche and also the psychological processes of death. Joseph taught psychiatry at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center for over 30 years, which became a leading psychiatric training institute in the nation. In later years, they spent much time living on land that had been part of the Hollister Ranch, located west of Santa Barbara, where Jane had grown up.

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.

    Incline Your Ear - Or – How I Conquered Road Rage and Learned to Love My Commute

    Incline Your Ear - or – How I Conquered Road Rage and Learned to Love my Commute by Charles D.W. Morrison Seattle Jung Society Library Volunteer, first Saturdays Every disciple of the Buddha in early Buddhism was technically called sravaka, “hearer,” since the Lord had advised: ”One should listen to the Doctrine as a sick man to the words of a physician.” Furthermore . if one did listen, one could go beyond natural “insight” and achieve the “insight consisting of hearing” (srutrmayi-prjna), that is, a higher level of awareness that comes from listening to profound truths. - George Elder, Ph. D The Body: An Encyclopedia of Archetypal Symbolism, Ear chapter, p. 186 “Listen, that we may live,” Isaiah reminds us in the Old Testament. “Whatever is pleasant to the ear . fixes itself deeply within the breast,” St. Benedict later echoes. And the Zen master Hui-neng in his Platform Sutra relates how his sudden enlightenment was achieved by merely listening to someone else recite scripture. The spoken word has a long been understood as a powerful channel for the psyche’s deeper energies. There seems to be something about hearing a speaker’s intonation, pauses, and struggles to formulate his thoughts that brings the psyche’s messages more vividly alive. Is it only chance then that we live in a city with one of the largest and most accessible collection of recorded lectures on state-of-the-art psychology, spirituality and religion? Is this just an accident, or are we caught up in some archetypal energy and, like the sravaka, on the road to higher awareness through listening? At 700 tapes, over 100 speakers lecturing on topics from Alchemy to Tarot, occupying 16 feet of shelf space, it would seem that the Seattle Jung Society is indeed on the via audimus.

    Development of Research Designs for Investigating Concepts of Analytical Psychology and the Efficacy/Effectiveness of Jungian Psychotherapy

    Development of research designs for investigating concepts of Analytical Psychology and the efficacy/effectiveness of Jungian psychotherapy Prof. Dr. Christian Roesler Professor of Clinical Psychology With assistance from Julia Engelhardt Telefon +49 761 200-1513 Fax +49 761 200-1496 E-Mail: [email protected] ____________________________________________________________________ Karlstraße 63 79104 Freiburg www.kh-freiburg.de 2 1. Introduction Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) is one of the founding fathers of modern psychotherapy. After some years of collaboration with Freud at the beginning of the 20th century, Jung broke ties with Freud in 1912 and developed his own psychoanalytic approach, later called Analytical Psychology (AP). Jung had a major influence on the development of psychotherapy. His use of creative techniques made him the founder of art therapy methods; he was the first to use techniques of imagination to influence the inner world of patients, a method that has recently been adopted in a number of psychotherapy approaches (e.g., the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder); and he was the first to postulate that in the training of psychoanalysts there should be an extensive training analysis. In spite of this influence and the fact that Jungian psychotherapy is well established all over the world in mental health care as well as in training structures, there are few publications on the empirical foundations of Jungian psychology and the effectiveness of Jungian psychotherapy. Although Jungian psychotherapy has a long history and has been practiced for more than 100 years, the Jungian approach has long been criticized for a lack of proof of its effectiveness.

    The Priest, the Psychiatrist and the Problem of Evil

    THE PRIEST, THE PSYCHIATRIST AND THE PROBLEM OF EVIL PUNITA MIRANDA PHANÊS • VOLUME 2 • 2019 • PP. 104–143 https://doi.org/10.32724/phanes.2019.Miranda THE PRIEST, THE PSYCHIATRIST, AND THE PROBLEM OF EVIL 105 ABSTRACT This paper clusters around the problem of evil within the framework of depth psychology. The first part briefly introduces the narrative of the Book of Job as an example to contextualise how the ultimate question of God’s relation to evil remained unanswered and was left open-ended in Christian theology. The second part offers a historical reconstruction of the unresolved polemic over the nature of evil between Carl Jung and the English Dominican scholar and theologian Victor White (1902-1960). It explores their different speculations and formulations concerning evil and its psychological implications, until their final fall-out following White’s harshly critical review of Jung’s most controversial work on religion, Answer to Job. The final section of this paper introduces further reflections on a challenging theme that is no less resonant and relevant in today’s world of terrorism in the name of religion than it was in a post-war Europe struggling to recover from totalitarianism and genocide.

Yocum This dissertation considers a spectrum of five distinct approaches that mid-twentieth century neo-Thomist Catholic thinkers utilized when engaging with the tradition of modern scientific psychology: a critical approach, a reformulation approach, a synthetic approach, a particular [Jungian] approach, and a personalist approach. This work argues that mid-twentieth century neo-Thomists were essentially united in their concerns about the metaphysical principles of many modern psychologists as well as in their worries that these same modern psychologists had a tendency to overlook the transcendent dimension of human existence. This work shows that the first four neo-Thomist thinkers failed to bring the traditions of neo-Thomism and modern psychology together to the extent that they suggested purely theoretical ways of reconciling them.

  • Cognitive Behavior Therapy

    Cognitive Behavior Therapy

    InSight: RIVIER ACADEMIC JOURNAL, VOLUME 7, NUMBER 1, SPRIING 2011 PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOR DISPLAYED IN THERAPEUTIC TREATMENT: VIEWS WITHIN A PRIVATE COUNSELING Jillian Pizzi* M.A. Program in Mental Health Counseling, Rivier College Abstract This research paper will discuss the basics of therapy while providing insight to the patterns of behavior displayed by various clients that have become apparent over the course of this semester. The setting is a private counseling practice in New Hampshire. The participants are clients that have chosen this facility for treatment (men, women, teens and children of all ages and ethnicities) and the initial questions will pertain to the topic of study, noted above. The research literature, actual research, conceptual framework, and summary will follow. Introduction By definition, a pattern is “1.) one worthy of imitation, 2.) plan used in making things, 3.) a design and 4.) usual behavior, procedure” (Goldman, 2000, p. 285). These definitions are connected in many ways with the author’s research interest; patterns of behavior people display while in therapeutic treatment. The focus of the research completed is the clientele of LMR Counseling & Associates (name changed due to confidentiality), which were observed while in treatment. The research question explored in this paper is, “How do people respond to positive, as well as negative feedback from their therapist?” Historical Perspective Modern psychological therapies trace their history back to the work of Sigmund Freud of Vienna in the 1880s. Trained as a neurologist, Freud entered private practice in 1886 and by 1896 had developed a method of working with hysterical patients, which he called “psychoanalysis” (Milhauser, 2008).

    BIRTH, DEATH and BEYOND MELISSA JANE MIDGEN a Thesis Su

    THE CHILD ANALYTIC TRADITION OF THE SOCIETY OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY – BIRTH, DEATH AND BEYOND MELISSA JANE MIDGEN A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of East London for the degree of Professional Doctorate in Child Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy December 2016 i Abstract This thesis seeks to chart the creation, development and eventual demise of the child analytic training of The Society of Analytical Psychology (SAP), the foremost Jungian Society in the UK. The brainchild of the Society’s founding director, Michael Fordham, the creation of the child training drew on the talents and persistence of many committed individuals. Through oral history interviews and archival research I weave together a narrative that will serve as testament to this achievement and offer first hand recollections for posterity. Through these sources the narrative also explores the difficulties that the training faced and which ultimately led to its eventual demise. Additionally I interrogate the current status of this tradition of child analysis and ask the question whether or not the tradition continues to exist and if so in what ways; I conclude that currently the tradition can only be said to exist in an attenuated form and that the future is bleak. In the course of the thesis I locate the SAP training within the development more generally of child analytic provision within the UK, the relationship of that to the child guidance movement and to the psychoanalytic diaspora, which made it possible. I describe the current obstacles faced by the child psychotherapy discipline as well as psychoanalytic psychotherapy in the NHS.
  • Some Spiritual Implications of Synchronistic Experiences

    Some Spiritual Implications of Synchronistic Experiences

    PUTTING THE SINN BACK INTO SYNCHRONICITY: SOME SPIRITUAL IMPLICATIONS OF SYNCHRONISTIC EXPERIENCES DR RODERICK MAIN Introduction I ought to begin by apologising to anyone I may have lured to read this paper under false pretences. The word ‘Sinn’ in the title is not a spelling mistake, and I regret that I have nothing novel to contribute on the subject of vice and wickedness. Sinn, spelt with a capital ‘s’ and two ‘n’s and pronounced as though the ‘s’ were a ‘z’, is a German word for ‘meaning’; it appears in the phrase ‘sinnvolle koinzidenz’, ‘meaningful coincidence’, which is C. G. Jung’s (1875-1961) most succinct definition of his concept of synchronicity. 1 A slightly fuller definition of synchronicity, which will be clarified and amply illustrated in what follows, is that it is the meaningful acausal paralleling of events, usually of an inner psychic event with an outer physical event .2 A simple example is where one is thinking intensely about an obscure subject such as the alleged mystical significance of a certain number sequence, then, unable to pursue these thoughts any further, one switches on the radio to relax, only to find that one is listening to an unscheduled and illuminating discussion of precisely this subject. Here, the psychic event of one’s intense thoughts and the physical event of hearing the discussion on the radio obviously parallel each other in a way which is likely to strike one as meaningful, yet neither of the events can have caused the other in any normal sense. In discussions of such experiences, attention usually focuses either on the improbability of the paralleling between the events or on the certainty with which a normal causal relationship between the events can be ruled out.

On Symbols and Shadows Flannery O’Connor’s Jungian Concept of Grace Joshlin Sheridan While participating in a literary circle discussing whether or not the Catholic Eucharist was purely symbolic, the fiery Flannery O’Connor famously responded, “Well, if it’s a symbol, to hell with it!” (Habit 125). O’Connor, a deeply devout Catholic, reveals through her short stories and personal letters a strong desire to prevent religion from becoming merely symbolic or explainable phenomena. Especially frightening to her was the notion that psychology would replace religion, because she viewed psychology as “not an adequate instrument for understanding the religious encounter” (Mystery and Manners 165). In a June 1962 letter, she expressed disdain that the modern world would “gradually . turn religion into poetry and therapy” (Habit 479).
