ABSTRACT
This chapter summarises the Jungian method, a constant confrontation with figures of the unconscious, a powerful technique based on the method of active imagination that Jung developed while writing Liber Novus. The theory of some central aspects of clinical practice was developed by Jung in his text The Transcendent Function, a revolutionary essay that is now considered to be one of his most fundamental pieces of work. The production of symbols by the unconscious demonstrates the creativity of the self and the ability of the central archetype to construct new pathways. Discussing the relationships between individuals and their unconscious images during the process of active imagination, Jung also distinguished four distinct types of people. Jung's active imagination demonstrates a way in which relating to unconscious material is taken seriously. The process described by Freud that he called transference is the phenomenon by which elements from childhood, expectations, and varied experiences are projected onto the analyst.
