ABSTRACT

The methods for handling unconscious material in analysis which we will discuss in this chapter, specifically amplification, active imagination, and work with dream images, form a core of methods that Jung evolved after his separation and differentiation from Freud’s psychoanalysis as practiced prior to 1914, i.e. before Freud’s papers on technique. While Jung had considerable experience in working with transference and countertransference material, he generally did not focus on them in his writing, though he published a mature monograph devoted to the subject in 1946. Chapter 6 will take up contemporary views on transference and countertransference.
