Language Difficulties in School-Age Children With Developmental Dyslexia
Developmental dyslexia (DD) is a common reading disability, affecting 5% to 11% of children in North America. Children classified as having DD often have a history of early language delay (ELD) or language impairments. Nevertheless, studies have reported conflicting results as to the association between DD-ELD and the extent of current language difficulties in children with DD. To examine these relationships, we queried the parents of school-age …
Mind, brain and body. Healing trauma
The paper explores an interdisciplinary whole person approach to healing from trauma that conserves our rich inheritance from Jung but also takes on board insights from research in the areas of attachment, trauma and the neurobiology of emotion. It is now over 20 years since insights from neurobiology began to be used to inform clinical practice. The paper reviews key insights which have emerged, along with the ways they enable therapists to help…

The dreaming mind‐brain
In this paper I discuss the nature and role of dream and the dreaming process in Jungian clinical practice in the light of neuroscience. Insights from contemporary neuroscience support rather than contest Jung's view that emotional truth, not censorship or disguise, underpins the dreaming process. I use clinical material to illustrate how work with dreams within the total interactive experience of the analytic dyad enables the development of the …
Undoing dissociation. Affective neuroscience
In the last ten years both analysts and neuroscientists have begun to challenge the analytic world to explore the analytic view of the mind in relation to knowledge emerging from the field of neuroscience. I find that 'in many ways it is Jung's understanding of the mind, the human condition, and the self, that is most compatible with the insights that are emerging from neuroscience today' (Wilkinson 2004, p. 84). In this paper I consider the insi…
The mind–brain relationship
This paper explores the mind-brain relationship, using insights from contemporary neuroscience. It seeks to investigate how our brains become who we are, how subjective experience arises. In order to do this some explanation is given of the basic concepts of how the brain produces our subjective mental life. Current neuropsychological and neurobiological understanding of early brain development, memory, emotion and consciousness are explored. The…
Undoing trauma
This paper uses insights from contemporary neuroscience and attachment theory to explore the profound dissociative defences associated with trauma. I discuss the effects of trauma on the emotional, intellectual and imaginative life of the individual and on the development of the self. Based on work with three patients with very different experiences of trauma, the paper offers clinical illustration of 'right brain to right brain' Jungian analysis…
His mother‐tongue
This paper delineates the transference and countertransference experiences in the analysis of a patient whose presenting symptom and main concern was his stutter. I suggest that oral-sadistic rather than anal-sadistic hostile elements may be identified in this patient's particular stutter. I focus on its significance in terms of object relationship: my patient's struggle to 'get born', to emerge as a separate other. I argue that early symbiotic f…
Women, Taxes and Benefits
This comment examines proposals set out in this journal (Cuvillier, 1993) for taxing the imputed incomes of housewives in order to remove favourable treatment by the tax and benefit system which is an incentive to their remaining in the home. It briefly outlines Cuvillier's thesis and proposals and offers a critical assessment of the reforms she recommends. It finds that though the analysis of the problem is lucid and persuasive, the proposals ar…
British Tax Policy 1979–90
The Conservative government in Britain in the 1980s was regarded as a tax reforming administration. ‘Tax reform’ is short-hand for efficiency in taxation which requires low rates on a wide base. There is a view that economic performance was improved, though at the expense of equity. This paper gives an account of the changes which took place and assesses their effects on both efficiency and equity. It finds that taxes became more regressive butt …
Tax Expenditure and Public Expenditure in the UK
Tax expenditures' are public revenue losses which result from special allowances and reliefs given to various categories of taxpayer for reasons of economic and social policy. In 1983/4 tax expenditures in the personal income tax system cost nearly £11 billion which was equal to 35 per cent of revenue from personal income tax or 9 per cent of total public expenditure. This paper assesses their significance in the context of public expenditure and…
The Discriminatory System of Personal Taxation
The system of personal taxation in the United Kingdom is under attack because of the way in which it discriminates between taxpayers on the basis of sex and marital status. Criticisms are allied with proposals for reform, all of which are primarily concerned with the social effects of changing the system. In this paper the various proposals have been categorized under the heads 'conservative', 'radical', and 'moderate' according to the social imp…
