For two personalities to meet is like mixing two different chemical substances:\u00a0<\/em>if there is any combination at all, both are transformed.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/em>(CW 16, par. 163)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jung was inspired to write about the transference at the age of 71 after encountering the woodcut images that accompany the alchemical text, the\u00a0Rosarium Philosophorum.\u00a0<\/em>The discovery of this text brought home a connection between the psychology of the transference and Jung\u2019s extensive study of alchemy. It became his model for framing a way of relating to transference phenomena that amplified relational patterns in archetypal terms.<\/p>\n

Jung had been introduced to alchemy in 1928 by the missionary-sinologist Richard Wilhelm. For Jung, the connection with Wilhelm was utterly transformative. In the years immediately following his break with Freud, Jung had a set of psychic experiences now known as his \u201cconfrontation with the unconscious.\u201d Analytical psychology was developed as he wrestled with an understanding of these experiences in the context of gnostic philosophy and cross-cultural mythology. His insights led him to regard his experiences as psychic processes rooted in the archetypes of the collective unconscious. But it was not until Jung read Wilhelm\u2019s German translation of the ancient Chinese text,\u00a0The Secret of the Golden Flower<\/em>, that he took any real confidence in his conclusions. Jung found in this text a metaphor so compellingly descriptive of his psychic experience that he dropped his work on\u00a0The Red Book.\u00a0<\/em>He was propelled into decades of exhaustive study of alchemy that ultimately resulted in the addition of three massive tomes to the\u00a0Collected Works<\/em>:\u00a0Psychology and Alchemy\u00a0<\/em>(vol. 12),\u00a0Alchemical Studies\u00a0<\/em>(vol. 13), and\u00a0Mysterium Coniunctionis<\/em>\u00a0(vol. 14). In addition to these, among the many fruits of this labor and of particular relevance to this seminar was his 1945 essay,\u00a0The Psychology of the Transference<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This seminar offers an opportunity to reflect from the perspective of Jung\u2019s alchemical metaphor on our shared experience as clinicians in handling the dynamics of therapeutic interaction. Jung says, \u201cIn any effective psychological treatment the doctor is bound to influence the patient; but this influence can only take place if the patient has a reciprocal influence on the doctor. You can exert no influence if you are not susceptible to influence\u201d (CW 16, par. 163). The hope it that, as we consider transference and countertransference from our experience as clinicians and in the light of assigned readings, we will create a learning environment of mutual \u201csusceptibility to influence\u201d that will stretch and grow us clinically.<\/p>\n

Learning objectives:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Participants will recognize and evaluate assumptions they have made historically in their clinical work with respect to transference and countertransference dynamics.<\/li>\n
  2. Participants will Identify new trends and\/or insights that have affected their clinical work in some novel way.<\/li>\n
  3. Participants will be able to contrast examples of developmental and archetypal transferences from their clinical work and the way their differential approach to each has evolved over the course of their participation.<\/li>\n
  4. Participants will be able to express both consonances\/agreements and dissonances\/disagreements with authors\u2019 theoretical understanding of how to understand and to work with countertransference.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
