Intersubjectivity in the nursery
This paper reports from a study of intersubjectivity in a Danish nursery ("vuggestue") for the 0-3 year olds. The study uses psychoanalytic infant observation. The concept of intersubjectivity is introduced from developmental psychology. Intersubjective moments depend on the adults' mental participation in children's interests and reactions. We know from developmental psychology that for children intersubjectivity is developmentally important and…
The White and the Black Magician
Jung often discussed the phenomenon of the human spirit, emphasizing its ambiguous nature; it may work for good as well as for evil. This article engages with the ambiguous nature of spirit through a discussion of the double-figure of the white and the black magician. The black magician represents the dark side of the work of the human spirit—our narcissism and power drive. In the process of individuation, we must confront this figure, if we are …
Jung and the spirit
The phenomenon of spirit is a topic discussed frequently by Jung throughout his writings although spirit is not always considered to be central to the practice of analytical psychology. This article points to the importance of spirit in analytical psychology by presenting a survey of Jung’s discussions of spirit. In Jung’s discussions, spirit is not treated as an abstract concept but as an empirical phenomenon: to Jung, spirit is a psychological …
Childcare in uncaring times
This article reports on a study that uses the method of infant observation to investigate emotional processes among young children and their professional carers in a nursery for 0- to three-year-olds. The article focuses on the effects of political regulations and reforms in the area of public daycare, which have a deep impact on the emotional lives of both children and their carers. First, a dominant political and regulatory language, in which l…
Bruce Springsteen as a Symbol
The article explores how Bruce Springsteen and his music function as a symbol. The article first presents the Jungian theory of symbols and of music as a conveyer of the symbolic. The central argument of the article is that, by having achieved the status of a powerful symbol, Springsteen influences the psyche of his audience and functions as a psychological resource. Although the author makes no claim to cover the entire symbolic potential of Spr…
Jung in education
The available literature on the influence of Jungian thought on the theory and practice of education leaves the impression that although the work of Carl Jung and analytical psychology have much to offer the field of education, the Jungian influence has so far been slight. While this has certainly been true, the last decade or so has nevertheless witnessed an increased scholarly interest in exploring how analytical psychology may inform and inspi…
Education of ethnic minority children in Denmark
This paper explores the dominant approach to education of ethnic minorities in Denmark. Using the concept of hegemony and the political‐science distinction between monocultural and multicultural positions as approaches towards a situation of increasing linguistic, ethnic and cultural diversity, the paper shows how a monocultural approach has become hegemonic in policy initiatives and legal documents. This hegemony is achieved by understanding eth…
