Winnicott's dream: some reflections on D. W. Winnicott and C. G. Jung.

Sedgwick D.

The author discusses D. W. Winnicott's 1964 review of C. G. Jung's autobiography,

Memories, Dreams, Reflections, emphasizing the psychological effect the reviewing
process had on Winnicott himself. Writing the review constellated Winnicott's
unconscious, and he reported having a healing dream 'for Jung and for some of my
patients, as well as for myself'. Winnicott's 'countertransference' to Jung
helped him personally, and the review was Winnicott's first written formulation
of his theory on 'The use of an object'.

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 of
exteriorization put forth the notion that unconscious thoughts can manifest
themselves in the external world. I have related this to Bion's theory of
thinking, where thoughts, which should be a prelude to action, become actions in
themselves, projections of unthought thoughts. Through detailed clinical work
with 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 to
projections 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: Sabina
Spielrein Between Jung and Freud, there has been renewed interest in the life and
work 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 a
Freudian analyst. Her most famous paper, published in 1912, 'Destruction as a
cause 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 controversial
theory since 1920, Spielrein's contribution is consistently omitted. Jung also
neglected to refer to her 'Destruction' paper in his early 1912 version of
'Symbols of transformation', even though he had edited her paper and had promised
to acknowledge her contribution. He did refer extensively to Spielrein's first
paper, her medical thesis, 'On the psychological content of a case of
schizophrenia', published in 1911, as yet unpublished in English. In her paper
Spielrein sought to understand the psychotic delusions of Frau M, a patient at
the 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 M
paper, and its companion 'Destruction' paper, make an original contribution to
both Jung and Freud's emerging theories on the possible creative versus
destructive outcomes of neurotic or psychotic introversion, culminating in Jung's
concept of the 'collective unconscious' (1916) and Freud's concept of a 'Death
instinct' (1920).

This historical essay documents the clinical practices of C. G. Jung and Toni
Wolff with their analysand Tina Keller, a Swiss physician and psychotherapist,
during the formative years of analytical psychology (1915-1928). The topic is
investigated through an examination of primary documents, largely unpublished, in
English and German, based on Keller's autobiographical writings. It presents
biographical information on Keller's life and details of her analyses with Jung
and Wolff, emphasizing the technique of active imagination and describing the
clinical 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. c.u.m.smith@aston.ac.uk

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

The origins of Bion's work.

Sandler PC.

sandler@uol.com.br

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 revealed
Bion's scientific orientation, fed by classical and modern authors--notably,
Locke, Hume, Kant, Sylvester and Cayley, Poincaré, Heisenberg, and the German
Romantics. Bion was able to rescue certain transcendent aspects of human, and
also of Freudian, knowledge that had largely fallen into neglected obscurity. He
made an original use of new verbal expressions related to the immaterial facts of
psychic reality, the unconscious and the id. The method involves a search for
counterparts in reality with two kinds of evidential source: some works and their
authors have appeared ipsis litteris in Bion's work. In those situations where
Bion 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 from
his library.

On the co-creation of classical and modern physics.

Staley R.

Department of History of Science, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 7143 Social

Sciences Building, 1180 Observatory Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53706-1393, USA.

While the concept of "classical physics" has long framed our understanding of the
environment from which modern physics emerged, it has consistently been read back
into a period in which the physicists concerned initially considered their work
in quite other terms. This essay explores the shifting currency of the rich
cultural image of the classical/ modern divide by tracing empirically different
uses 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 concept
proved controversial. Our present understanding of the term was in large part
shaped by its incorporation (in different ways) within the emerging theories of
relativity and quantum theory--where the content of "classical" physics was
defined 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 programs
and 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. It

opens with the epistemological dilemmas inherent in the subject, before moving on
to 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 of
the primary self, deintegration, reintegration, self objects, self
representations, and individuation in infancy. There is a section which discusses
areas in which Fordham apparently diverged from Jung, including how these were
reconciled by Fordham's developmental approach. These areas include the
definition 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 the
sense of self. It concludes with an extension to Fordham's outline of a
resolution to Jung's incompatible definitions. This draws upon the concept of the
central 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

acquainted with the quantum physicist Wolfgang Pauli and eventually began a
collaboration with him. During that collaboration Jung's study of synchronistic
phenomena underwent a considerable change; prior to the collaboration, Jung had
stressed mainly the phenomenological and empirical features of synchronistic
phenomena, while in association with Pauli, he focused his attention upon their
ontological, archetypal character. Pauli, on the other hand, became increasingly
sensitive to the philosophical aspects concerning the unconscious. Jung and
Pauli'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 a
consequence of their collaboration, synchronicity was transformed from an
empirical 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 that
drove Jung and Pauli to clear up the conceptual background of their thoughts.
Within the philosophical worldview arising from Jung and Pauli's discussions
about synchronicity, there are many symbolic aspects that go against mainstream
science and that represent a sort of criticism to some of the commonly held views
of 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 his
psychological 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- and
macrocosmos. At the beginning of his work, creating his psychology Jung assumed
similar ideas. Later, when he noticed this similarity, alchemy became very
helpful in his research of psyche, because thanks to them he conceptualised the
successive aspects of polar structure of dynamical psychical reality, which--like
his alchemical predecessors--he used to explain basics of the micro- and
macro-world.

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

Jung.

Gaillard C.

christian.gaillard@ensba.fr
Having first considered recent research into the circumstances surrounding the
production and publication of the 'autobiography' of Jung, the author concludes
that in spite of its being the work of several authors, it nevertheless
constitutes a whole. Taken from whichever angle, they all point to Jung's
particular 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 the
several dreams reported, the central 'fantasy' which inspired Jung's research and
his oeuvre. Finally, he discusses the idea of the collective or impersonal
unconscious and highlights the emphasis Jung places on processes which unfold
according to rhythms which are associated with distinct scales, depending on
whether they are those of the individual, the clan or the culture.
