Analytical Psychology Analytical Psychology The Jungian approach to analysis and psychotherapy has been undergoing an extensive reconsideration during the past decade. Analytical Psychology calls special attention to the areas which have been most impacted: the core con- cepts and practices of the Jungian tradition, along with relevant intellectual and historical background. Internationally renowned authors drawing on the forefront of advances in neuroscience, evolution, psychoanalysis, and philosophical and historical studies, provide an overview of the most important aspects of these develop- ments. Beginning with a chronicle of the history of the Jungian movement, areas covered include: • A background to the notion of “archetype”. • Human development from a Jungian perspective. • A creative extension of Jung’s theory of psychological types. • Re-evaluation of traditional Jungian methods of treatment in the light of contemporary scientific findings. • Jungian development of transference and countertransference. • A new formulation of synchronicity. Analytical Psychology presents a unique opportunity to witness a school of psychotherapy going through a renaissance. Drawing on original insights from its founder, C.G. Jung, this book helps focus and shape the current state of analytical psychology and points to areas for future exploration. Joseph Cambray is the Honorary Secretary of the International Association for Analytical Psychology and co-editor-in-chief of the Journal of Analytical Psychology. Linda Carter is in private practice in Boston, MA and Providence, RI. She is on the faculty of the C.G. Jung Institute of Boston, where she supervises and teaches analysts in training.

  • Autogenic Abreaction and Psychoanalysis
    Publicado en: Autogenic Methods: Appliccation and Perspectives. Ed. : W. Luthe. Pozzi, Roma 1977. Pags. 134-140. Autogenic Abreaction and Psychoanalysis Jose Luis Gonzalez de Rivera Autogenic abreaction and psychoanalytic therapy have at their very root a common concept: the pathogenicity of disturbing mental recordings. Despite the difference in techniques and approach, both methods share, to a certain extent, many other conceptual similarities. Although it is impos- sible in a short paper to review the fields of psychoanalysis and autogenic abreaction, I will try to elaborate on some of the common areas, and the possibility of cross-fertilization between the two disciplines. The Abreactive Phase of Psychoanalysis The concept of neuronal excitation in response to external and internal stimuli, and its sub- sequent need for discharge, is basic to the development pf psychoanalysis 44-10: The pathological potentiality of undischarged neuronal excitation is discussed by Breuer and Freud in their «Studien liber Hysterie». According to them, a traumatic event, that strongly aroused unpleasant emotions in the patient, may form the basis of the hysterical psychopathology. The mental representations related to the event became repressed and were thus deprived of direct means of expression. The affective com- ponent of the mental representations sought discharge by devious paths, and thus could result in hysterical symptoms or psychophysiological disturbances. The cathartic method of therapy is the logical consequence of this theoretical formulation. If the repressed memories of the traumatic event could be brought back to consciousness, and the associ- ated affect allowed to discharge, a therapeutic result should ensue. The first difficulty, of course, was the resistance of the patient to re-experiencing what he had al- ready decided was better not to experience et all.

Received: 29 August 2013; in revised form: 25 September 2013 / Accepted: 27 September 2013 / Published: 9 October 2013 Abstract: The theory of the archetypes and the hypothesis of the collective unconscious are two of the central characteristics of analytical psychology. These provoke, however, varying reactions among academic psychologists. Empirical studies which test these hypotheses are rare. Rosen, Smith, Huston and Gonzales proposed a cognitive psychological experimental paradigm to investigate the nature of archetypes and the collective unconscious as archetypal (evolutionary) memory. In this article we report the results of a cross-cultural replication of Rosen et al. conducted in the German-speaking part of Switzerland.

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.

    THE WOUNDED HEALER: FINDING MEANING IN SUFFERING A dissertation submitted by GARRET B. WYNER, PH.D. to ANTIOCH UNIVERSITY SANTA BARBARA In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PSYCHOLOGY in CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY ___________________________________________ Juliet Rohde–Brown, Ph.D., Chair ___________________________________________ Sharleen O’Brian Dolan, Psy.D., Second Faculty ___________________________________________ Donna M. Orange, Ph.D., Psy.D., External Expert ___________________________________________ Kimberly D. Robbins, Psy.D., Student Reader ! ABSTRACT In modern history, no event has more profoundly symbolized suffering than the Holocaust. This novel “Husserlian-realist” phenomenological dissertation elucidates the meaning of existential trauma through an interdisciplinary and psychologically integrative vantage point. I use the testimony of a select group of Holocaust witnesses who committed suicide decades after that event as a lens to examine what their despair may reveal about an unprecedented existential, moral, and spiritual crisis of humanity that threatens to undermine our faith in human history and reality itself. By distinguishing what they actually saw about our condition from what they merely believed about reality, I show there is a reliable hope that can fulfill the highest reaches of human nature in the worst conditions. This I call a Psychotherapy of Hope. To this end, I provide a broad overview of the four main forces of psychotherapy to evaluate the role each plays in healing this crisis. I then provide an elucidation of empathic understanding within an “I/Thou” altruistic relationship having power to transform human personality. The primary barrier to personal transformation is shown to be no mere value-neutral indifference, but “cold” indifference or opposition to an objective good.

  • Exploring Meaning in Life and Crisis Experiences with Graduate Counseling Students
    Article 14 Exploring Meaning in Life and Crisis Experiences With Graduate Counseling Students Lorraine M. Dinkel and Roxane L. Dufrene Dinkel, Lorraine M., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Professional Programs at Texas A & M International University, Laredo, Texas. Dufrene, Roxane L., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Educational Leadership, Counseling, and Foundations at the University of New Orleans . Abstract In this study, the authors explored graduate counseling students’ meaning in life and their crisis experiences across age groups. The theoretical framework was based on Frankl’s theory of logotherapy. Today, we can find many parallels to Frankl’s descriptions of suffering in the disasters experienced by graduate counseling students. Discoveries of graduate counseling students’ meaning in life with crisis experiences are outlined with suggestions for future training. Viktor Frankl (1984) proposed that individuals can find meaning in their lives through their suffering. In 1946, Man’s Search for Meaning documented Frankl’s observations of Jewish prisoners and how they transcended their suffering in the concentration camps. He wrote specifically about two prisoners who were suicidal and how finding purpose aided their survival of the suffering surrounding them. Frankl believed that suffering is part of living and that finding meaning in life through suffering is critical for healing (Frankl, 1984; Lantz, 1992). Frankl’s (1984) description of logotherapy indicated that his theory focused on the future and meanings to be fulfilled by an individual. Logos is a Greek word which is defined as “meaning.” Frankl’s focus was on the meaning of existence and the search for meaning.
