Synchronicity and the capacity to think: a clinical exploration.

Reiner A.

Synchronicity blurs the boundaries of psyche and physis. This invisible dance of mind and matter suggested to Jung an interconnection between physical and mental events reflecting a unified 'psychophysical space-time continuum'. His idea ofexteriorization put forth the notion that unconscious thoughts can manifestthemselves in the external world. I have related this to Bion's theory ofthinking, where thoughts, which should be a prelude to action, become actions in themselves, projections of unthought thoughts. Through detailed clinical workwith dreams I will explore the effects of early trauma on the development of the capacity to think, and the way in which synchronistic events relate toprojections of early traumatic experiences which have not been 'mentalized'.

Sabina Spielrein: out from the shadow of Jung and Freud.

Skea BR.

Since the 1982 publication of Aldo Carotenuto's book, A Secret Symmetry: SabinaSpielrein Between Jung and Freud, there has been renewed interest in the life andwork of Sabina Spielrein. She was Jung's first psychoanalytic case at the

Burghölzli Hospital in 1904, and was referred to several times in The Freud/Jung Letters. Spielrein recovered, enrolled in medical school, and went on to become aFreudian analyst. Her most famous paper, published in 1912, 'Destruction as acause of coming into being', was referred to by Freud in 1920 in relation to his Death Instinct theory. In the few Freudian publications on this controversialtheory since 1920, Spielrein's contribution is consistently omitted. Jung alsoneglected to refer to her 'Destruction' paper in his early 1912 version of'Symbols of transformation', even though he had edited her paper and had promisedto acknowledge her contribution. He did refer extensively to Spielrein's firstpaper, her medical thesis, 'On the psychological content of a case ofschizophrenia', published in 1911, as yet unpublished in English. In her paperSpielrein sought to understand the psychotic delusions of Frau M, a patient atthe Burghölzli, much in the style of Jung's 'Psychology of dementia praecox'(1907). The purpose of this paper is to explore to what extent Spielrein's Frau Mpaper, and its companion 'Destruction' paper, make an original contribution toboth Jung and Freud's emerging theories on the possible creative versusdestructive outcomes of neurotic or psychotic introversion, culminating in Jung'sconcept of the 'collective unconscious' (1916) and Freud's concept of a 'Deathinstinct' (1920).

This historical essay documents the clinical practices of C. G. Jung and ToniWolff with their analysand Tina Keller, a Swiss physician and psychotherapist,during the formative years of analytical psychology (1915-1928). The topic isinvestigated through an examination of primary documents, largely unpublished, inEnglish and German, based on Keller's autobiographical writings. It presentsbiographical information on Keller's life and details of her analyses with Jungand Wolff, emphasizing the technique of active imagination and describing theclinical practices of Jung and Wolff in Keller's analyses.

The 'hard problem' and the quantum physicists. Part 1: the first generation.

Smith CU.

Vision Sciences, Aston University, Birmingham B4 7ET, UK. [email protected]

All four of the most important figures in the early twentieth-century developmentof quantum physics-Niels Bohr, Erwin Schroedinger, Werner Heisenberg and WolfgangPauli-had strong interests in the traditional mind-brain, or 'hard,' problem.This paper reviews their approach to this problem, showing the influence ofBohr's complementarity thesis, the significance of Schroedinger's small book,'What is life?,' the updated Platonism of Heisenberg and, perhaps mostinteresting of all, the interaction of Carl Jung and Wolfgang Pauli in thelatter's search for a unification of mind and matter.

The origins of Bion's work.

Sandler PC.

[email protected]

This study attempts to identify the scientific, philosophical and psychoanalytic origins of Bion's work, and includes an organization of these in a comprehensive and synthetic way with the help of a synoptic table. Investigation has revealedBion's scientific orientation, fed by classical and modern authors--notably,Locke, Hume, Kant, Sylvester and Cayley, Poincaré, Heisenberg, and the GermanRomantics. Bion was able to rescue certain transcendent aspects of human, andalso of Freudian, knowledge that had largely fallen into neglected obscurity. He made an original use of new verbal expressions related to the immaterial facts ofpsychic reality, the unconscious and the id. The method involves a search forcounterparts in reality with two kinds of evidential source: some works and theirauthors have appeared ipsis litteris in Bion's work. In those situations whereBion does not cite the sources, the study has been able to establish connections with the lengthy marginal notes which Bion left in the texts of the books fromhis library.

On the co-creation of classical and modern physics.

Staley R.

Department of History of Science, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 7143 SocialSciences Building, 1180 Observatory Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53706-1393, USA.

While the concept of "classical physics" has long framed our understanding of theenvironment from which modern physics emerged, it has consistently been read backinto a period in which the physicists concerned initially considered their workin quite other terms. This essay explores the shifting currency of the richcultural image of the classical/ modern divide by tracing empirically differentuses of "classical" within the physics community from the 1890s to 1911. A study

of fin-de-siècle addresses shows that the earliest general uses of the conceptproved controversial. Our present understanding of the term was in large partshaped by its incorporation (in different ways) within the emerging theories ofrelativity and quantum theory--where the content of "classical" physics wasdefined by proponents of the new. Studying the diverse ways in which Boltzmann,Larmor, Poincaré, Einstein, Minkowski, and Planck invoked the term "classical"will help clarify the critical relations between physicists' research programsand their use of worldview arguments in fashioning modern physics.

Fordham, Jung and the self: a re-examination of Fordham's contribution to Jung's conceptualization of the self.

Urban E.

This paper is about Fordham's contribution to Jung's studies on the self. Itopens with the epistemological dilemmas inherent in the subject, before moving onto an account of Fordham's research into the incompatible ways Jung used the term'self'. There is a description of Fordham's model, which covers his concepts ofthe primary self, deintegration, reintegration, self objects, selfrepresentations, and individuation in infancy. There is a section which discussesareas in which Fordham apparently diverged from Jung, including how these werereconciled by Fordham's developmental approach. These areas include thedefinition of the self as totality or archetype, the mind-body relationship, the 'ultimate', the origins of the archetypes, and the primary self, the self and thesense of self. It concludes with an extension to Fordham's outline of aresolution to Jung's incompatible definitions. This draws upon the concept of thecentral archetype of order and how its unfolding is evidenced towards the end of the first year of infancy.

Beyond synchronicity: the worldview of Carl Gustav Jung and Wolfgang Pauli.

Donati M.

Milan.

While exploring the phenomena of synchronicity, Carl Gustav Jung became

Page 5: 1. J Anal Psychol. 2008 Sep;53(4):543-60. Winnicott's Dream: Some Reflections

acquainted with the quantum physicist Wolfgang Pauli and eventually began acollaboration with him. During that collaboration Jung's study of synchronisticphenomena underwent a considerable change; prior to the collaboration, Jung hadstressed mainly the phenomenological and empirical features of synchronisticphenomena, while in association with Pauli, he focused his attention upon theirontological, archetypal character. Pauli, on the other hand, became increasingly sensitive to the philosophical aspects concerning the unconscious. Jung andPauli's common reflections went far beyond psychology and physics, entering into the realm where the two areas meet in the philosophy of nature. In fact, as aconsequence of their collaboration, synchronicity was transformed from anempirical concept into a fundamental explanatory-interpretative principle, which together with causality could possibly lead to a more complete worldview.Exploring the problematic character of the synchronicity concept has a heuristic value because it leads to the reconsideration of the philosophical issues thatdrove Jung and Pauli to clear up the conceptual background of their thoughts.Within the philosophical worldview arising from Jung and Pauli's discussionsabout synchronicity, there are many symbolic aspects that go against mainstreamscience and that represent a sort of criticism to some of the commonly held viewsof present day science.

[Carl Gustav Jung's alchemical thinking]

[Article in Polish]

Mirkiewicz J.

Instytut Filozofii Wydziału Nauk Społecznych, Uniwersytet Wrocławski.

Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961), Swiss psychologist and philosopher of culture used in his concepts many constructs having their source in philosophy of alchemy.These ideas can be found not only in his books on alchemy but also in hispsychological works. Among them we should enumerate: the theory of psychological process, the concepts of opposites coexisting in the psyche, the polar structure of notions in his psychological system and the idea of synchronicity. The author of this article examines these main points of Jungian program within the context of its parallelism with paracelsian alchemical philosophy of nature: the process of nature, alchemical dialectics and the universal analogy of micro- andmacrocosmos. At the beginning of his work, creating his psychology Jung assumedsimilar ideas. Later, when he noticed this similarity, alchemy became veryhelpful in his research of psyche, because thanks to them he conceptualised thesuccessive aspects of polar structure of dynamical psychical reality, which--likehis alchemical predecessors--he used to explain basics of the micro- andmacro-world.

On defining words, some scenarios and vectors in the 'autobiography' of C. G.Jung.

Gaillard C.

[email protected]

Page 6: 1. J Anal Psychol. 2008 Sep;53(4):543-60. Winnicott's Dream: Some Reflections

Having first considered recent research into the circumstances surrounding theproduction and publication of the 'autobiography' of Jung, the author concludesthat in spite of its being the work of several authors, it neverthelessconstitutes a whole. Taken from whichever angle, they all point to Jung'sparticular inquiry into the unconscious, as it emerges through Jung's own words. The author goes on to suggest both a lateral and a structural reading of MDR(Memories, Dreams, Reflections) which in turn reveals, on the basis of theseveral dreams reported, the central 'fantasy' which inspired Jung's research andhis oeuvre. Finally, he discusses the idea of the collective or impersonalunconscious and highlights the emphasis Jung places on processes which unfoldaccording to rhythms which are associated with distinct scales, depending onwhether they are those of the individual, the clan or the culture.
