ABSTRACT
This chapter explores two strands of Jungian thought in relation to affective neuroscience: the first is the early making of mind and the second is the remaking of mind that takes place in the consulting-room. Allan Schore has marshalled considerable evidence from the field of neuroscience research to establish that “the foundation of unconscious processes in the developmentally primitive inchoate infant mind”. L. Cozolino describes the kind of processing that is constantly occurring within the mind-brain. The importance of developing imagery as experienced in the twosome is envisaged in Carl Gustav Jung’s exploration of the Rosarium. Part of the task of the analysis will be through the transference experience to help the patient to explore and become aware of her early attachment style and able to look at the way this may be mirrored in her current relationships.
