First Aid in Art Therapy is a therapeutic approach carried out in Bosnian migrants and refugee camps from October 2019 to the present.. In an extremely challenging context for therapists and ...beneficiaries, Art Therapy sessions were held according to the methodology of free creative expression, with a high degree of adjustability. A non-directed work prioritizing each participant’s needs, spontaneity, and the factor of transitoriness, either of conditions or of emotions, was revealed to be the appropriate approach within a context of humanitarian crisis. In this study, the theoretical foundations of Carl Jung and Nise da Silveira1 were used, especially with regard to the concept of Archetype, which is essential for a better understanding of the images produced in these sessions. It could be observed in the migrants and refugees’ work that certain repeated patterns appeared, for example: feminine figures and mandalas: which coincide with two strong archetypes that will be highlighted.
Art therapy and the image are active approaches to address the analytic third, an idea that was mentioned by C. G. Jung in the Psychology of the Transference, but was first experienced by him as ...described in The Red Book (2009). Jung's art-making was an impressive lifelong affair that relied upon mixed media, making it reasonable for us to consider Jung as the father of art therapy. Prior to the 1913 publication of Symbols of Transformation, Jung visited America for a second time; on this visit, the Jungian analyst Beatrice Hinkle introduced Jung to the Greenwich crowd. Among the noteworthy artists and activists were Margaret Naumburg and Florence Cane, who later established the field of art therapy in the United States. Despite the tension created from the Freud-Jung split, Naumburg and Cane were deeply influenced by Jung's theoretical ideas, initially via Hinkle, with whom they analyzed for three years. Requiring a safe passage for the birth of art therapy, Naumburg navigated an independent third way, but drew from many of Jung's already established ideas to formulate her research and educational approach. Because the historical details surrounding the development of art therapy in America are being stitched back into an art therapy education, Jung's early clinical insights regarding specific theoretical ideas gain visibility and respect. This overview acknowledges that analytical psychology remains a powerful and integral building block in the field of art therapy and offers relevant resources for theoretical and clinical formulations when working as an art therapist.
The purpose of this study was to explore the image of the hidden, the invisible, and the unknown through an encounter with the mythic figures of Kore/Persephone, Demeter, Hekate, Hades, and Zeus in ...the Homeric “Hymn to Demeter.” This art-based research project culminated in an expressive arts video that engages the living images and subsequently provides an example of Jung’s statement from The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious, “The most we can do is to dream the myth onward and give it a modern dress.” I utilized the Soul Story process, a method I previously co-developed with a partner, which includes (1) opening with a prompting or question to explore; (2) selecting props and attire for the mythical figures present; (3) engaging in the world in a form of active imagination that uses movement, emotional expressions, and the landscape to animate and embody the figures; (4) having a witness film the process while it unfolds; and (5) making a final video that reveals a story about the interactions. The Soul Story process allowed me to engage with a form of symbolic play that brought the main mythical figures found in the Persephone and Hades myth to life. In the end, this project offers a practical approach for how one might creatively enter inside a myth and embody the living images through a dramatic enactment with one’s imagination that moves the psyche into a more conscious relationship with the figures.
This paper offers a Jungian psychoanalytic analysis of John Keats' odes, exploring how they symbolically represent the psychic growth of the poetic persona. Drawing on key concepts in Jungian theory ...such as the collective unconscious, archetypes, and individuation, the study demonstrates the relevance of Jungian theory to literary analysis. In particular, it focuses on the concept of primordial resonance and its connection to psychic individuation, and discusses the importance of psychic growth for both the individual and society. Through a close reading of Keats' odes, the paper illustrates how they reflect the process of psychic individuation, showing the poet's own journey towards self-realization and the realization of collective consciousness. The odes' themes and imagery are interpreted in light of Jungian concepts, revealing how they represent the integration of conscious and unconscious elements of the psyche. The paper concludes that Keats' odes provide valuable insights into the concept of psychic individuation and the potential for growth and transformation in both the individual and society.
O pesquisador americano Joseph Banks Rhine (1895 – 1980) e o psiquiatra suíço Carl Gustav Jung (1875 – 1961) foram contemporâneos, o interesse mútuo de pesquisa levou os dois autores a estabeleceram ...uma troca de correspondências a partir de 1934, que duraria as duas décadas seguintes. A partir desse diálogo importantes repercussões teóricas ocorreram no trabalho dos dois autores, especialmente, em relação a Jung. Em nossa metodologia analisamos as obras de Rhine e de Jung, com destaque para o impacto dos experimentos sobre percepção extrassensorial (PES) sobre o trabalho de Jung de 1952, Sincronicidade: um princípio de conexões acausais. Apesar das controvérsias existentes sobre o conceito de sincronicidade, com alguns autores estabelecendo que PES e sincronicidade são eventos distintos, o autor suíço estabelece de forma clara três categorias ou facetas de seu conceito, duas delas incluindo a PES.
This essay analyzes how creativity gives consciousness a renewing force and how its transforming power comes from the unconscious level of the psyche, as explained by the Analytical Psychology of ...Carl Jung and his followers. In particular, it focuses on showing how in the deepest stratum of the unconscious, a visionary creation is generated to turns the creator into a kind of medium consumed by an impulse superior to his strength. An impulse that can be expressed in an artistic work or externalized in an outbreak of madness when the deep meaning of the creative experience in the self is not understood. The article also analyzes the creation in its relations with human development in the context of Analytical Psychology and his conceptualization as individuation. In that sense, highlight how, through the emotions that a work of art manages to arouse in the viewer, the artist manages to establish communication with his audience.
Toplumsal yapı ve sosyal hayatın en önemli problemlerinden biri olan kadın-erkek ilişkileri ve bu ilişkinin yarattığı sorunlar birey, aile, toplum üzerinde sosyolojik ve psikolojik açıdan oldukça ...etkilidir. Bireyin hayatının şekillenmesinde dönüm noktası niteliği taşıyan eş/sevgili/arkadaş seçimi, karşı cinsle olan iletişimini ortaya koymakta ve onun toplumsal yapıya uyum sağlamasına yardımcı olduğu gibi bu yapıdan uzaklaşmasına da neden olmaktadır. Kadın ve erkek ilişkilerini ekonomik, siyasi, sosyal, tarihi, dini şartlar kadar onların atalarından devraldıkları psikolojik miras da etkilemektedir. Carl Gustav Jung'un kolektif/toplumsal bilinç dışının ürünü olarak nitelendirdiği ve bireye ilk/arkaik insandan itibaren kültürel kodlar şeklinde aktarılan arketipler/ilk örnekler bireyin topluma uyum sağlamasında öncü rol üstlenirler. Kadının kalıtsal kolektif erkek imgesine "animus" erkeğin kalıtsal kolektif kadın imgesine "anima" adını veren Jung, her iki cinsin seçimlerinde etkili olan bu "ruh imgesi"nin bireyin hayatında kadın erkek ilişkilerini nasıl şekillendirdiğini ortaya koyar. Türk edebiyatının son dönem yazarlarından olan Buket Uzuner'in Ayın En Çıplak Günü adlı hikâye kitabında yer alan öyküler erkeklerin hayatlarında var olan kadınlarla içlerindeki taşıdıkları ebedi/hayali kadın imgelerinin yansımalarının farklı boyutlarını somutlaması ve örneklem oluşturması bakımından önem arz etmektedir. Çalışmada bu yansımalar üzerinden evrensel bir problem olarak insanlık tarihi boyunca toplumu meşgul eden "kadın-erkek" ilişkisinde atasal psikolojik mirasın izleri tespit edilecek ve erkeğin hayatında "dişil unsur"un etkileri okuyucu düzleminde görünür kılınacaktır.

Jung's works on religion focus on images of the divine, which people experience in various ways. Here, we consider a variety of such numinous experiences, ranging from childhood dreams to experiences ...of Christian saints and of 20th-century cult leaders, all of which can be described as images of God in the human psyche.
Aims:
Dementia is being increasingly recognised as a major public health issue for our ageing populations. A critical aspect of supporting people with dementia is facilitating their participation in ...meaningful activities. However, research to date has not drawn on theories of ageing from developmental psychology that would help undergird the importance of such meaningful activity. For the first time, we connect existing activity provision for people with dementia with developmental psychology theories of ageing.
Method:
We reviewed the literature in two stages: first, we narratively searched the literature to demonstrate the relevance of psychological theories of ageing for provision of meaningful activities for people with dementia, and in particular focused on stage-based theories of adult development (Carl Jung and Erik Erikson), gerotranscendence (Tornstam), selective optimisation with compensation (Baltes and Baltes), and optimisation in primary and secondary control (Heckhausen and Schulz). Second, we systematically searched PubMed and PsycINFO for studies with people with dementia that made use of the aforementioned theories.
Results:
The narrative review highlights that activity provision for people with dementia goes beyond mere pleasure to meeting fundamental psychological needs. More specifically, that life review therapy and life story work address the need for life review; spiritual/religious activities address the need for death preparation; intergenerational activities address the need for intergenerational relationships; re-acquaintance with previously conducted leisure activities addresses the need for a sense of control and to achieve life goals; and pursuit of new leisure activities addresses the need to be creative. The systematic searches identified two studies that demonstrated the utility of applying Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development to dementia care.
Conclusion:
We argue for the importance of activity provision for people with dementia to help promote wellbeing among an increasing proportion of older people.
