Study These Flashcards
A

modification of a period schema

25
Complexification
When you assimilate/accommodate as necessary Becoming a more complex being What was once important to you is no longer Become self-transcendent
26
Equilibration
Piaget's theory of developmental change via schema
27
Jungian analytic psychology
-We are self-regulating beings that achieve adaptation through opponent processes, which can lead to complexification (a more comprehensive way of being in the world). -The psyche is a self-regulating system that is aiming for wholeness through opponent processes which can lead to complexification. -Shift from the ego to the self -Consciousness is only part of the psyche and rests on something larger and mysterious (the unconscious) -Process that guides adaptation/ wholeness via opponent processing is unconscious -Unconscious has a different 'language' compared to consciousness
28
Psychological suffering (Jung)
-Symptoms represent blocking of the processes that are aiming for wholeness/ adaptation -Symptoms have meaning -They are related to the future orientation of the aim toward wholeness/adaptation - Something needs to be addressed to unblock the system -Aim is not symptom relief but unblocking growth process
29
Complexes
-They self organize -Ideas, attitudes which accumulate around a core of emotion - Autonomous (like a personality) eg. may feel inferior to someone
30
Ego (complex)
-What we think of as ourselves -Primarily in consciousness -Can be (but not necessarily) identified with out persona
31
Persona
Social role
32
Personal unconscious
Where aversive memories are repressed
33
Collective unconscious
What we share with other humans Where archetypes exist
34
Archetypes
Inherited ways of framing Involve framing that has been evolutionarily adaptive (like basic emotions)
35
self
Potential for unity Involved in the process of development
36
The psyche consists of
PESSA Persona and ego (conscious) Shadow (personal unconscious) Self (collective unconscious) Archetypes (related to collective unconscious) A combination of spirit, soul and idea
37
Psychopathology Jung
Every symptom is a failed attempt at a cure
38
Stages of treatment
CEEI -Confession Needs to involve emotion Relationship is important- letting down defenses - Elucidation Coming to understand the power of non-ego parts of the psyche Analyze trasnference -Education New possibilities emerge Changing behaviour for ego needs (eg. integration into the group) -Individuation/ Transformation Differentiation/Analysis via Transference, Dreams, Active imagination Realize that complexes are part of us (not projection) Synthesis 'into' the self- New gestalt that can be used for assimilation into life
39
Kinds of thinking
Directed thinking: Logical, language-based, reality-oriented, culturally newer Fantasy/ mythic thinking: Image-based, subjective oriented, culturally older Occurs in pre-moderns, children and dreams
40
Dream analysis steps
1. Making associations: Finding associations that spring out of our unconscious in response to the dream images. Every dream is made up of a series of images. Our work begins with discovering the meanings those images have 2. Connecting the dream to inner dynamics: We look for and find the parts of our inner selves that the dream images represent. We find the dynamics at work inside us that are symbolized by the dream situation 3. Interpreting: Put together info from first two steps and arrive at a view of the dreams meaning when taken as a whole 4. Making the dream concrete: Learn to do rituals that will make the dream more conscious, imprint its meaning more clearly on our minds, and give it the concreteness of immediate physical experience
41
Active imagination
Type of accommodation Like dream interpretation but while your awake IDE Invite the unconscious Dialogue and experience Ethical responsibility
42
Goals of Jung's analytical psychotherapy
RSI Reintegration Self-knowledge Individuation - With a heartfelt awareness of the human condition, individual responsibility and a connection to the transcendent
43
Psychic reality
The sum of conscious and unconscious in processes
44
Jung's Personal unconscious
-Similar to but more extensive than Freud's description -Contains material unacceptable to ones ego and superego and therefore repressed -Material unimportant to the psyche, temporarily or permanently dropped from the collective unconscious
45
Collective unconscious
