Jung's Studies in Word Association provided evidence for and referred to Freud's concept of transference, published the previous year. In Jung noted that the analysand's perception of the analyst's more mature personality forms an empathic bridge between his infantile relationship to reality and adult adaptation. He insisted that an analyst undergo analysis himself, and also saw the importance of analyzing the transference, which Analytical Encounter: Transference and Human Relationships hinders and facilitates psychological growth. By Jung had extended Freud's definition, saying transference was also the basis for normal human relatedness. A survey of early work shows recognition of counter-transference, the reciprocal arousal of unconscious content in the analyst in response to patient projections. In he stated his view that the personality of the analyst contributes to analytic process, and that transformation is mutual. He also observed instances of unconscious identity between doctor and patient, giving it the anthropological term participation mystique ; later it was recognized by psychoanalysts and called projective identification. So convinced was Jung that this unconscious reciprocal influence distorted all analytic discourse that he drew upon another projective system, alchemy, in Psychology of the Transference to demonstrate the ubiquity of transference and to identify stages in its evolution and resolution. For some students this represents an incomprehensible departure from rational scientific method. Analytical Encounter: Transference and Human Relationships appreciate its logic one must first accept the role of metaphor in psychological theory building and, second, understand Jung's theory of archetypes and his model of the psyche, which includes a personal and a collective unconscious. Although the concept of archetype has not been accepted by psychoanalysts, the idea has arisen independently in the fields of anthropology, linguistics, behavioral biology, and evolutional psychiatry. Analytical Encounter: Transference and Human Relationships, the capacity to perceive certain forms and processes is inherent, and these ancient, typical potentials are Analytical Encounter: Transference and Human Relationships, to acquire specific psychological content when, in the course of development, the individual encounters external reality. The collective unconscious contains all realizable human potential. The Analytical Encounter: Transference and Human Relationships process itself is unconsciously directed by the archetype of individuation, the impulse to grow in psychological depth and complexity, and is an inherent property of the self, the archetype that embraces and comprises all other archetypes. Transference thereby acquires a teleological dimension, the symbolic intent and meaning of which is revealed and experienced as analysis unfolds; this is its prospective aspect, in contrast to the regressive projection of unconscious material from infantile or other past experience. Jung recognized two universal, diametric archetypal urges in the individual psyche: to be separate, complete, and autonomous; and to be intimately bonded to the other, both coupled and enfolded in a group. These longings are primary motivating forces at the root of transference and resistance, constituting a fundamental paradox to be apprehended and resolved in individuation and analysis. The mythology of medieval alchemy provided an unconscious projective system congenial enough to Western mentality to be accessible, but distant enough to reflect projections made in an analytic process that structures imaginative associations for the purpose of self examination. All analytical Analytical Encounter: Transference and Human Relationships view transference as a multileveled web of transecting relationships, interpersonal and intrapsychic, conscious and unconscious, occurring simultaneously within and between analyst and patient. Since the spiritual urge was regarded by Jung as an archetypal force equal to sexuality, his concept of transference extends into transpersonal realms. For some analytical psychologists this is the major thrust of Jungian theory, whereas others seek to correct theoretical and methodological gaps, for example, in the areas of child development and transference through links to the work of psychoanalysts whose constructions are compatible with Jung's basic concepts Kirsch, Modern psychoanalytic theories of self, projective identification, mutuality, and intersubjectivity all have antecedents in work Jung completed before See also: Alchemy analytical psychology ; Amplification analytical psychology ; Analytical psychology; Complex analytical psychology ; Counter-transference; Negative therapeutic reaction; Projection and "participation mystique" analytical psychology ; Transference.

A previous contributor to Linacre, Father Moreno is at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology at the Graduate Theological Union. Oakland. Sigmund Freud was the genius who discovered psychoanalysis, namely, a process by which it is possible to penetrate the unconscious and discover its properties. Freud was an acute observer, and one of the phenomena he noticed was that in the course of analysis, the neurotic patient develops a particular interest in the person of the physician. That is, the patient seems to fall in love with the analyst, and, under these conditions, the analysis makes splendid progress. Because this attachment always appears, Freud was compelled to admit that we have to deal with a phenomenon in itself essentially bound up with the nature of the disease. I Freud called this phenomenon transference, that is, a transference offeelings to the person of the physician. Both positive and negative transferences play an important role in psychoanalysis, and Freud explains the nature of the transference as a recollection of the early relationships between children and parents: The transference is ove rcome by showing the patient that his feelings do not originate in the current situation, and do not really concern the person of the physician, but that he is reproducing something that had happened to him long ago.

  • A Counter-Theory of Transference
    A Counter-Theory of Transference John M. Shlien, Harvard University "Transference" is a fiction, invented and maintained by the therapist to protect himself from the consequences of his own behavior. To many, this assertion will seem an exaggeration, an outrage, an indictment. It is presented here as a serious hypothesis, charging a highly invested profession with the task of re-examining a fundamental concept in practice. It is not entirely new to consider transference as a defense. Even its proponents cast it among the defense mechanisms when they term it a "projection". But they mean that the defense is on the part of the patient. My assertion suggests a different type of defense; denial or distortion, and on the part of the therapist. Mine is not an official position in client-centered therapy. There is none. Carl Rogers has dealt with the subject succinctly, in about twenty pages (1951, pp. 198-217), a relatively brief treatment of a matter that has taken up volumes of the literature in the fleld.[1] "In client-centered therapy, this involved and persistent dependency relationship does not tend to develop" (p. 201), though such transference attitudes are evident in a considerable proportion of cases handled by client-centered therapists. Transference is not fostered or cultivated by this present-time oriented framework where intensive exploration of early childhood is not required, and where the therapist is visible and available for reality resting. While Rogers knows of the position taken here and has, I believe, been influenced by it since its first presentation in 1959, he has never treated the transference topic as an issue of dispute.

In this article, we adapt and apply some of his profound insights for Catholic pastoral counseling education. Pastoral counseling is a very important aspect of the general pastoral formation of Catholic seminarians. The goal of any pastoral counseling course should be twofold. First, it should give seminarians a basic knowledge of mental illnesses to understand their parishioners better. Second, it should offer them concrete techniques to be used in the context of pastoral counseling. Seminary classes in pastoral psychology and counseling sometimes lack a consistent, coherent theoretical foundation, or may attempt to teach techniques inappropriate for use by future parish priests. This paper presents a logotherapeutic approach for the formation of seminarians in pastoral counseling.

HYDE LCSW FACULTY CO-FOUNDER THE HOUSTON GALVESTON TRAUMA INSITUTE PRIVATE PRACTICE 3100 RICHMOND Ave #110 Houston Texas 77098 713-960-8450 [email protected] SUPERVISOR/TEXAS SOCIAL WORK LICENSURE CONSULTATION: INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP “EASIER SAID THAN DONE” Boundaries are the limits that allow for a safe connection based on the client’s needs. The law and our professional Codes of Ethics by themselves cannot address most of the situations encountered by therapists and their clients in the difficult work of psychotherapy with traumatized people. The law and code are both narrative and literal and the real territory of ethics is ruled by more implicit boundaries, which prohibit actions that betray the client and the therapist. This unchartered territory is the dangerous ground of the therapy relationship, and in which we must steady our course to make rational, relational decisions to protect the client, the relationship and ourselves. THE TRAUMA TRIANGLE VICTIM PERPETRATOR WITNESS/ RESCUER COLLUDING OR POWERLESS TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES Psychological trauma can be anything that is too much for the person to manage emotionally. There are a variety of life events that are traumatic to a person, including some experiences that for one person may be overwhelming and not overwhelming to another. For Example: SEXUAL ABUSE PHYSICAL ABUSE/BATTERING RAPE FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION NEGLECT EXPERIENCE OF BEING OVER-CONTROLLED OR MONITORED EXPERIENCE OF BEING CRITICIZED OR BLAMED WITNESS TO ABUSE OF ANY KIND TO ANOTHER TORTURE/IMPRISONMENT POVERTY/HUNGER WAR/COMBAT TRAUMA EARLY LOSS OF A PARENT LOSS OF A CHILD OR SIBLING DISABILITY/ CHRONIC ILLNESS IN A PARENT / SIBLING CHRONIC ILLNESS, REPEATED HOSPITALIZATIONS, TERMINAL ILLNESS ACCIDENTS: AUTO, FIRE, MANUFACTURING, ETC.

  • Concordant and Complementary Countertransference: a Clarification
    Canadian Journal of Psychoanalysis/Revue Canadienne de Psychanalyse 20, 1 (Spring 2012) : 70-84. Concordant and Complementary Countertransference: A Clarification Donald L. Carveth, Ph.D. Toronto Abstract Heinrich Racker (1957) contributed greatly to our understanding of countertransference in a number of respects, including his distinction between concordant and complementary countertransference identifications. Like Helene Deutsch (1926), Racker was mostly concerned with the complementary countertransference because he identified the concordant with empathy. But concordant countertransference identification, when it is relatively unconscious, may disturb empathy as much as relatively unconscious complementary countertransference. Both may enhance empathy and understanding when they are relatively conscious and the object of the analyst's self-reflection. Several clinical vignettes are discussed to illustrate this point. If, as I claim, Racker was mistaken in associating the concordant countertransference with empathy, why has this error been perpetuated in our literature for half a century instead of being recognized and corrected? Keywords: countertransference, concordant, complementary, identifications, Racker, empathy, trial identifications, conscious, unconscious, internal object relations 1 The mind of the psychoanalyst, like that of the analysand, experiences tensions and conflicts between id (impulses, affects and wishful phantasies of love, hate and their varying combinations), ego (relatively rational and reality-oriented mental

BRITZMAN Five Excursions into Free Association, or Just Take the A Train1 DEBORAH P. BRITZMAN York University Research no longer merely seeks successful comprehension. It returns to things it cannot understand. It measures by fortifying its needs and methods. – de Certeau, The Writing of History 2 I “What am I supposed to do?” the analysand asks. “Just say whatever comes to mind,” the analyst replies. So begins the strangely frustrating psycho- analytic request Freud called “the fundamental rule”: free association.3 Rarely can a rule be so indiscriminating, although it is precisely through indiscretion that this rule miniaturizes the story of psychoanalysis; its inter- pretation makes psychoanalysis psychoanalytic. Perhaps for this reason the rule is very difficult to accept, unless, of course, it can dawn on the speaker that she or he is free to freely associate with her or his conflicts. Let us note there is nothing here to solve. Instead, this experience of conflict allows for all that will follow, not just in the analytic setting, although it is there where free association may matter most, but also something like free association can take residence in the pedagogical imagination, where there, too, the fragility of language gives notice to the difficulties of freely associating and the utter importance of doing just that.

Transference and the Ego: A (Psycho)Analysis of Interpsychic Translation Lauren A. Rutter Bucknell University Translation is a necessary part of ordinary psychological development. A successful translation brings with it “unpleasure” because the Kultur in which we live is a veneer of things we know and have to suppress in order to mitigate the demands of the id (das Es). Repression (die verdrangung) is motivated by our desire not to feel unpleasure through translation. According to Freud, manifestations of the id (das Es) are translated through the ego (das Ich). The ego acts as the translator of drives (der Trieb) into acceptable actions. Through the process of psychoanalysis, the analyst assumes the role of the translator (ego). Freud believed that spoken language is not important to analysis of the unconscious. Spoken language has limits that do not compare to the feelings or effects of the drives within us.
