Week 2 - Jungian Therapy Flashcards
Did Jung use free association?
He did at first with Sabina and then stopped because he felt it was dark and pessimistic.
Jung came up with the word BLANK to describe unusual and delayed responses that individuals had to groups of words that seemed to point to a problematic or neurotic area in a person’s life.
Complex
What is individuation?
Revealing and integrating the different complexes into consciousness.
What are examples of complexes?
Mother complex, father complex, inferiority complex.
What is the collective unconscious?
Being able to release unconscious aspects of self that we all harbor here.
True or False: Jung believed in the human species’ projection of a deep-seated need to change and complete themselves—to undergo a metamorphosis from one form of consciousness to a newer, expanded consciousness and wholeness or whole self.
True
What is Jung’s form of therapy called?
Analytical therapy.
According to Jung, what did the psyche consist of?
-Our conscious
-Personal unconscious
-The collective unconscious
The psyche consists of our BLANK
Conscious
The personal unconscious contains what?
Thoughts and behaviors that we have experienced but don’t remember
The collective unconscious houses what?
Primordial images called archetypes
What was Jung’s hypothesis around archetypes?
That they are inherited by all people and provide the psyche with its tendency to perceive and act in the world in certain ways that we identify as human (mother, father, rebel, creator, etc.)
Jung thought that evidence for archetypes could be found where?
In the similar behaviors, myths, symbols, and artwork that is found in all cultures.
Jung stated that consciousness develops soon after birth and is related to how each of uses what?
The mental functions of thinking, feeling, sensations, and intuition.
Jung suggested that we are born with the attitudes of blank and blank, although there is a tendency to favor one over the other.
Extraversion and introversion.
As children, Jung suggested we develop a BLANK, which manages our mental functions and attitudes and allows continuity of our basic personality structure with the possibility that change can occur relatively slowly over time.
Ego
Jung suggested that archetypes are constantly impinging on us in mysterious and unconscious ways and provide energy for what he called BLANK?
Complexes
What did Jung see as the goal of therapy?
To become whole by discovering parts of the Self that have never been experienced, aspects of Self that have become repressed, and portions of Self that have been split off.
What is individuation?
The development of consciousness about our mental functions, attitudes, complexes, and repressed parts of self.
What are the key concepts that underlie analytical therapy?
-Psychological types
-The psyche (conscious, unconscious, and collective unconscious)
-Archetypes (persona, shadow, anima/animus, the Self)
-Individuation
-Symbols
-Complexes
-Synchronicity
What are the psychological types?
-Two attitudes (extraversion, introversion)
-Four mental functions (thinking, feeling, sensing, and intuiting)
The functions are ways in which we do what?
Ways in which we operate in our outer or inner world, include thinking, feeling, sensing, and intuiting.
What are the rational functions?
Thinking and feeling; called this because people use them to make decisions on evidence gathered.
What are the irrational functions?
Sensing and intuiting; information is gathered and understood through one’s perceptions.
What is the primary function?
People tend to favor one of the four functions (thinking, feeling, sensing, and intuiting)
True or False: Jung hypothesized that whatever your predominate type is, the complementary type resides in your unconscious and longs to have its voice and become developed.
True
What did the psyche represent for Jung?
All of our psychological processes and contained all that is consciousness, the personal unconscious, and the collective unconscious.
True or False: Unlike Freud, Jung had a different view of the unconscious, which he said consisted of both a personal unconscious and a collective unconscious.
True
Jung suggested that BLANK, one aspect of the collective unconsciousness, can seep into our personal unconscious and affect many aspects of our day-to-day behaviors.
Archetypes
The BLANK houses all material from an individual’s unique experiences that have been filtered out of consciousness and repressed into unconsciousness.
Personal unconscious
The collective unconscious is also called the BLANK
Impersonal unconscious
What are four archetypes that have become particularly well known?
Persona, shadow, animus, anima
What is a persona?
The masks we wear, our facade, the part of us we show to the world, while masking other aspects of ourselves from others and sometimes even from ourselves.
What is the shadow archetype?
It is all of what we are not in our conscious lives.
If you’re extraverted, it’s your introverted self.
What are the anima/animus?
Individuals have an inner gender opposite.
Man’s inner opposite is anima, woman it is their animus.
What is the Self?
the unity of consciousness and unconsciousness
The self does not seek to be better or perfect, it seeks to be complete, integrated, whole.
True or False: Jung believed that there are an indeterminate number of potential complexes, which are formed from repressed material and fueled by our archetypes.
True.
What is individuation?
The lifelong process of becoming conscious of the many separate and hidden parts of Self, with the goal of integrating the various parts into the whole person.
Jung believes that BLANK are projections of archetypes from the collective unconscious and suggested that similar symbols are found in all cultures.
Symbols
What is synchronicity?
A reflection of a psychic event happening while a physical event occurred, the two events having some meaningful relationship to one another and there being no causal relationship between the two.
What are the therapeutic techniques of analytical therapy?
-Employing a dialectical method
-Active imagination
-Using creative techniques
-Dream Analysis
-Amplification
-Transference and countertransference
-Interpretation
What is involved in the counseling process of Jungian analysis?
-Exploring consciousness
-Moving into the personal unconscious
-Dipping into the collective unconscious
-Delving further into the collective unconscious
What is a dialectical method?
Jung believed it was critical to employ this method, which fosters meaningful dialogue between the client and the psychotherapist.
What is active imagination?
One method to access repressed material, which involves allowing one’s unconscious mind to drift, while the conscious mind acts as a nonjudgmental observer.
What role did dream analysis play in psychotherapy for Jung?
Unlike Freud, he believed it was to facilitate the client’s understanding of their dreams so they could gain knowledge of their unconscious meaning.
With Jung it’s more about expanding upon the dream to understand its symbolic unconscious meaning.
With Freud, you’re tearing down the dream to get to hidden parts of Self.
What is amplification?
The therapist is trying to uncover what meaning symbols hold relative to material that is sorted in a client’s personal and collective unconscious.
What was Jung’s thoughts on countertransference?
The therapist’s unconscious becomes projected onto the client.
True or False: Jungians believe it is important for the client, not the therapist, to uncover the client’s unconscious.
True. They do not rely heavily on therapist ruminations or interpretation.
True or False: analytical therapy views clients as having the tools they need to be resilient, self-empowered, and their own expert.
True
According to Jung, what makes up our personality?
The mental functions (thinking, sensing, feeling, and intuiting) and extraversion/introversion.
What does the psyche consist of?
the conscious mind, the personal unconscious, and the collective unconscious
What does the personal unconscious represent?
Repressed memories and experiences incongruent with our psychological type
What does the unconscious represent?
All of what we are aware
