ABSTRACT
The task of writing on Jungian analysis is complicated by two problems. First, the specific technique of analytical psychology does not exclude the use of more generalized analytical methods. Second, Jungian analysis is continually undergoing change. In his earliest independent formulation, Jung stated that any depth-analytical procedure is an individual one between two people. Jung divided the process of any analysis into four stages. The first stage he called the confession, or catharsis. The second stage Jung called elucidation, or interpretation, in particular the interpretation of the transference and the infantile psyche. The third stage of analysis he called education, that is, the adaptation to social demands, needs, and certain kinds of learning and educative process. In the final stage, called transformation or individuation, the patient discovers and develops his own unique pattern. The whole analytic process is a deeply personal one, and it requires a mutual trust between analysand and analyst.
