ABSTRACT

In this chapter I will discuss the evolution of Jungian theory and practice in relation to the transference and countertransference and illustrate the richness of the framework which forms the basis for the work of present-day Jungian analysts, with particular emphasis on analysts of the Developmental School. The model of deintegration and reintegration can, I think, be used as a metaphor for the way in which the core of Jungian theory has unfolded to meet ever-changing ideas within psychoanalysis, psychology and other fields, transforming and being transformed by them and then being reintegrated into the framework which we use in our thinking and in our daily work with our patients.
