    "Synchronicity, Intentionality, and Archetypal Meaning in Therapy" addresses the frequent occurrences of synchronicity in psychotherapy and their potential influence on the therapeutic relationship. Such synchronicities can take the form of biographical parallels, shared dreams and images, and striking astrological correlations, with a specific focus on the first session, marking the initiation of the therapeutic relationship. The research was based on interviews with thirty therapists. The presented case examples demonstrate how the observed synchronistic connections generated for the therapeutic couple a greater sense of connection, efficacy, growth, and healing, with often a profound sense of a greater intentionality informing the shared process of transformation.
