The World Broke Up into Splinters
In Part Two of “The World Broken into Splinters: Naomi Nir’s Accounts of Her Analyses with Erich Neumann and Emma Jung” the author describes Naomi Nir’s analysis with Mrs. Jung via her intense journal or Notes. She is tormented by her resistance to Jungian psychology, which she relates to more as a dogma than a theory, but her conflict may have been an animus defense against a deeper connection with her analyst. In addition to her analysis, she r…
The World Broke Up into Splinters
Drawing on the extraordinary and extensive journals of Naomi Nir, this two-part article describes her experience in analysis with two seminal figures in Jungian psychology: Erich Neumann and Emma Jung
“I am his. Even in his Absence … ”
The Absent Father Effect on Daughters: Father Desire, Father Wounds explores, in depth, the destructive impact of paternal absence on women. Each chapter combines deep familiarity with psychoanalytic and Jungian theory, alongside telling amplifications from fairytales, mythology, biblical and literary sources, with detailed and sensitive clinical illustrations. Susan E. Schwartz presents focused discussion on central topics, such as narcissism, a…
When is it time to stop? When good enough becomes bad enough
This article draws on Winnicott's concept of the good enough mother to discuss how to know whether a therapeutic situation is good enough to continue or bad enough to end. This dilemma is explored in terms of clinical syndromes, such as anorexia and pathological gambling, but focuses mainly on analyst-initiated endings, which are termed the 'Casablanca dilemma', based on an amplification of the ending of the film Casablanca. The author goes on to…
Daniel
This article describes the growth and development of Daniel as a master Biblical dream interpreter. In his clinical use of dreams, he is compared to a contemporary Jungian analyst who faces difficult clinical dilemmas such as interpreting a dream that is forgotten, understanding the difference between a 'big dream' and a personal dream, as well as the situation when a dream is interpreted within a dream. Daniel's technique is compared to traditio…
Who Is My Jung? 1
“Who Is My Jung?” describes the author’s personal journey toward Jung and his individuation as a Jungian. It confronts Jung’s anti-Semitism and also his need to invent a new therapy for each patient. The author stresses the important role of therapeutic space and places renewed attention on how we write about patients
Why Don’t Psychotherapists Laugh
Humour, laughter, and enjoyment are neglected topics in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. This review examines the new, pioneering work, Why Psychotherapists Don’t Laugh, by English Jungian analyst Ann Shearer, which discusses the importance of laughter and enjoyment as protection in extreme stress and within the individuation process. The book explores the importance of laughter and enjoyment in the clinical setting and examines its role in psyc…
Supervising away from home
This paper explores some challenges of supervising clinical work of trainees, known as 'routers', who live in countries with diverse cultural, social and political traditions, and the analysts who travel to supervise them. It is written as an evolving dialogue between the authors, who explore together the effects of their own culture of origin, and in particular the legacy and values of their own training institutes on the styles and models of an…

A Genius and His Contradictions
Jay Sherry’s Carl Gustav Jung: Avant-Garde Conservative deals with the paradox that, as a psychologist, Jung was a revolutionary; however, in politics and art, he was a conservative. The book places Jung’s intellectual and political writing in their Germanic intellectual context and provides the first complete presentation of what Jung wrote about Jewish psychology and Nazism. Sherry suggests that personal factors led Jung to be blind to the dang…

Bellow, The Therapy King
The Nobel Prize-winning novelist, Saul Bellow, underwent psychodynamic psychotherapy or psychoanalysis with four well-known practitioners: Dr Raphael Chester, a leading Reichian; Professor Paul Meehl, a psychoanalyst and the leading academic psychologist of his generation; Albert Ellis, founder of Rational-Emotive Therapy; and Heinz Kohut, the founder of Self Psychology who presented Bellow in two thinly disguised vignettes. Drawing on James Atla…

The Cultural Complex
Henry Abramovitch, “The Cultural Complex: Linking Psyche and Society,” Jung Journal: culture & psyche, 2007, 1:1, 49-52. This article reviews the groundbreaking work of Singer and Kimbles’ The Cultural Complex, which provides a new conceptualization of the twilight zone between the archetypal and the personal that has significant theoretical, cultural and clinical implications. Cultural complexes are akin to personal complexes that when activated…

The (Non) Representation of Trauma
Henry and Ella Abramovitch , “The (Non) Representation of Trauma: Analysis of Unnamed Painting by the Israeli Artist Orna Millo,” Jung Journal: culture & psyche, 1:4, 32-42. This article discusses a nameless painting by the Israeli artist, Orna Millo, that the authors call “The (Non) Representation of Trauma.” The painting depicts the psychic representation of trauma in visual form — and at the same time, the impossibility of representing trauma …
Stimulating ethical awareness during training
This paper argues for a preventative approach to ethical violations through developing and maintaining ethical awareness in training and in the group life of each society. Rather than teaching ethics as a theoretical subject, a method is proposed that encourages direct personal confrontation with ethical dilemmas through the consideration of key examples, in the Talmudic manner. This develops ethical 'muscles' and allows candidates to explore the…
The Jewish Heritage of Ludwig Wittgenstein
This article discusses two aspects of Wittgenstein's Jewish heritage. First, we try to show that Wittgenstein was acutely aware of his own Jewish heritage and especially concerned about its potential influence on his work. Second, we suggest that the form of his work, specifically, his method of inquiry and the peculiar literary character of his work, bear a striking resemblance to that of Hebrew Talmud. Like other assimilated Jews of Central Eur…

Temenos regained
The importance of the temenos as a metaphor to conceptualize therapeutic containment is discussed. Jung drew the analogy between the consulting room and the temenos, at the centre of the Greek Temple as a sacred and inviolate place where the analysand might encounter the Self. Although Jung believed that whether called or not, the gods would appear, under certain conditions, patients may experience 'temenos lost', the loss of the holding function…
Temenos Lost
This article examines some clinical dilemmas engendered by moving. At such times, certain patients (or the analysts themselves) may lose their sense of containment that the therapeutic space has provided. When such a disruption threatens the course of treatment, this changed condition may be archetypally termed 'temenos lost'. Consideration of this condition has led the author to reconceptualize healing as composed of two distinct components: the…

In Search of the Saddiq
Folk veneration of saints (hagiolatry) plays a major role in the lives of many Moroccan Jews living in Israel and constitutes a basic ingredient of their distinctive ethnic identity. In this context, pilgrimages to the saint's tomb and visitational dreams, in which he appears in person or in some symbolic guise, are related phenomena through which the linkage to the saint is maintained and his blessing is granted to his adherents. This paper is c…
