The symbol in the body: The un-doing of a dissociation through Embodied Active Imagination in Jungian analysis
Fleischer, K. (2020). The symbol in the body: The un-doing of a dissociation through Embodied Active Imagination in Jungian analysis. Journal of Analytical Psychology, 65(3), 558–583. https://go.openathens.net/redirector/nu.edu?url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1468-5922.12600

Jung understood dissociation as a natural state of the psyche, capable of turning defensive through development. Based on this premise, and its conception on the equivalence between psyche and matter, the present work describes the un-doing of a dissociation expressed through a chronic enterocolitis disorder. When the symbol remains closer to the body and its most instinctive manifestations, we need to descend to that level in order to let the vertical axis connection be gradually restored through the therapeutic relationship – the horizontal axis. In other words, this un-doing requires that patient and analyst follow the unconscious path proposed by symbolic expressions that gradually emerge through the patient’s body and active imagination.
Depth Healing

This is an interview with Murray Stein, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and past president of the International Association of Analytical Psychology. He discussed contemporary cultural attitudes and their impact on the choice of analytic work rather than short-term therapy and pharmaceutical approaches. In a culture of short-term feel-good therapy, Jungian psychoanalysis does not offer fast food but requires care, time, and intense engagement with the soul and results in deep transformation of consciousness. Most people do not want to slow down their busy, stressed-filled lives and reflect. Approaches to mental health are also mirrored in other parts of life, like foreign policy. Jungian therapy views symptoms as instigators toward deeper life.
Taking play therapy seriously
Lyford, C., & Wartski, S. (2022). Taking play therapy seriously.Psychotherapy Networker Magazine, 46(3), 32–52. https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&AuthType=sso&db=sih&AN=156959555&site=ehost-live&custid=natuniv

Play therapy is based upon the fact that play is the child’s natural medium of self-expression”, Axline wrote in her 1947 book Play Therapy, now considered a seminal work on the subject. Play therapy still hasn’t been recognized by APA’s Division 12 as empirically supported, and in an evidence-based therapy world, play therapists still find themselves having to explain how and why it works. In California, therapist Violet Oaklander extended play therapy to society’s most vulnerable. Therapist John Allan brought his Jungian analytical play therapy to the fore with his 1988 book, Inscapes of the Child’s World, combining play with Carl Jung’s theory that change lies in the unconscious, self-healing elements.
Transpersonal psychology and mature happiness in the context of counseling
Bowers, V. L. (2020). Transpersonal psychology and mature happiness in the context of counseling. Counselling Psychology Quarterly, 33(4), 572–582. https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&AuthType=sso&db=psyh&AN=2019-38447-001&site=ehost-live&custid=natuniv

Transcending the dark side of life and overcoming negative emotions may lead a person to mature happiness, characterized by inner peace and harmony. Such happiness can be found even in times of suffering through the pursuit of meaning and spirituality. This paper argues that nature happiness involves the spiritual aspects of being human, such as deep appreciation of life, finding joy through suffering, and being in tune with oneself and others (Clements, Hocoy, Hoffman, & Kaklauskas, 2016). Transpersonal Psychology in counseling focuses on cultivating spiritual and transcendent experiences. Through examination of the spectrum of being human, including spiritual yearning and aspirations, deeper meaning can be uncovered leading to personal and spiritual growth.

Carl Gustav Jung: Artist of the Soul
Carl Gustav Jung: Artist of the Soul. Weick, W. (Director). (2013).[Video/DVD] Chip Taylor Communications. https://video.alexanderstreet.com/watch/carl-gustav-jung-artist-of-the-soul

The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) was one of the founding fathers of modern depth psychology. His most famous concept, the collective unconscious, had a deep influence not only on psychology but also on philosophy and the arts. Here, in his own words and writings, as well as with accounts of his closest relatives, we gain a personal insight into the life of the great psychoanalyst. He was a colleague of Sigmund Freud early in his career, but a disagreement in 1909 ended their collaboration. Nearing the end of his life, Jung stated that he remembered “only interior experiences, those that - beyond all illusions - really count in the life of an individual,” which helps explain why Jung inspired the New Age movement with his interest in occultism, Eastern religions, the I Ching, and mythology. This documentary approaches some of the most intimate aspects of Jung’s life while exploring some of the greatest and most sensational therapeutic intuitions of his acute and original mind.
Jungian play therapy and sandplay with children: Myth, mandala, and meaning
Jungian play therapy and sandplay with children: Myth, mandala, and meaning. (2013). [Video]. Microtraining Associates. https://go.openathens.net/redirector/nu.edu?url=https://video.alexanderstreet.com/p/jYAn30jGl

Jungian Play Therapy and Sandplay with Children delivers an overview of play therapy from the Jungian - or analytical - perspective and instructs how to incorporate sand play with children into clinical practice. The video details the need for practitioners to develop a “safe and protected space” to allow children to individuate, becoming whole psychological individuals. Dr. Green demonstrates two primary techniques for strengthening children’s emotional connections: modeling a symbolic attitude and executing well-timed verbal interpretations. He then discusses key terms and constructs and illustrates micro counseling concepts directly related to Jungian play therapy. In the first case demonstration, an adolescent creates mandalas and uses expressive art therapy techniques to share her emerging personality and internal feelings. In the second demonstration, an elementary school-aged child freely creates a fairy tale through sand play, illustrating the archetypal symbols and myth that correlates to her current psychological development. Dr. Green concludes with an analytical summary of how images and the associated feeling tones imprinted upon the psyche through sand play, symbols, mandalas, and fairy tales can harness archetypal energy created within the therapeutic dyad. Through non-judgmental support and a caring therapeutic relationship, a child’s psyche produces the symbols of self-healing.

Every week for two years during the early 1980s, a group of adolescents met at the Pittsburgh Child Guidance Center to participate in an expressive arts therapy program. To meet their different needs, a wide variety of materials was made available, with the hope that at least one of the creative modalities would enable the young people to overcome what one called “that green creature within.” This program uses footage from the sessions to demonstrate the efficacy of using painting, drama, music, dance, sculpture, and photography as part of adolescent psychotherapy. In addition, the video includes detailed case studies of two of the group’s members. (25 minutes)
