ABSTRACT The classical figure of Cassandra represents a person with an unusual capacity to recognize that which the collective has repressed or denied. The Cassandra complex is a Jungian concept that emphasizes the problematic aspects of such a person’s psychology. Seen from a broader perspective, this complex has another side. The collective who is unable to hear the “Cassandra” individual might be over identified with Apollonian values of order, harmony, and reason. In order to work on the Cassandra complex such that new growth can occur, both the Cassandra and the Apollonian sides of the complex need to develop and change.

ABSTRACT Roberta Bassett Corson’s Stepping Out of the Shadows: Naming and Claiming the Medial Woman Today is a study in discovering, recovering, and reclaiming a part of the soul that has been forgotten or neglected. By using the power of stories as vehicles through four companions as well as her own experiences of being wounded, ignored, and dismembered, Corson leads us initiates through the narrative restoration of five participants: Angela, Clelia, Elizabeth, Kathryn, and herself. Anchored firmly in Toni Wolff’s Structural Forms of the Feminine Psyche (1956), Corson then interviews each participant on a host of qualities indigenous to the medial archetype: empathy, broad-mindedness, healing, truth-telling, and imagination. Despite the medial woman’s wounds, including being forgotten, marginalized, trivialized, devalued, and labelled as an outsider who does not belong in mainstream culture, Corson discovers in each narrative how the medial woman nonetheless learns to claim herself in her complex relation to the unconscious while living securely in the conscious world that must be negotiated in order to survive. The medial woman has a sixth sense of what the modern world needs but often does not realize: a counterbalance to logic and rationality, an ability to see-through, a connection with the divine, and a voice that can transform how the current anorexic myth is being lived out collectively.

The case study that I present here incorporates the transformative power of fairy tales with memory reconsolidation. The client’s transformational growth also included journaling with original artwork. In the fairy tale that illuminates my case study, I begin as so many fairy tales do. Once upon a time, a Devil created a mirror that enhanced and amplified evil with ugliness and shadow. This enchanted mirror could also mute goodness and light. The Devil gleefully smashed goodness and light, creating glass shards that he cast down and embedded in the eyes and hearts of human beings. This wounding created chaos in the mind and pain in the heart. In this fairy tale

ABSTRACT Throughout this essay the author analyzes the concept of transcendence in Jung’s theoretical corpus with a focus on its philosophical parameters and therapeutic efficacy in promoting a category of value. Although Jung did not precisely define the terms transcendence, transcendent, and transcendental, it is necessary to tease out these features in order to illuminate the varieties of transcendence in Jung’s thought. Distinctions are made between the ontological, epistemological, and phenomenological dimensions of transcendence, including the structure, method, form, and process of mediating, transitioning, and transforming inner experience. Jung’s notion of the dialectic operative within the transcendent function is specifically critiqued. Here the author explores the possibility of a synthesis of internal opposition that leads to a greater principle of unity through the sublation of psyche. He further examines the transcendent function in the process of active imagination by drawing on patient material derived through associations in the analysis of the transference.

ABSTRACT The infanticidal mother has been represented in culture and in our psyches in various forms, but consistently as monstrous or mad. She has become the object and the catchall for our bad mother or Death Mother complexes and drives. In her work with such women the author hears their stories, not as monstrous, evil, or crazy, but as subjects with stories to tell, of which we know only the ending. By continuing to keep the infanticidal mother as Other, we keep our own dark drives hidden in the shadows; if, instead, we approach her as a speaking Subject, we allow for a fuller experience of Mother.

“The Fox Wedding,” or Kitsune no Yomeiri ( 狐の嫁入り ), is a popular story in Japanese folklore, rich in symbolism and cultural significance. Themes of transformation, spirituality, and forbidden knowledge appear in the tale. Through a combination of personal experience and analysis, I delve into the intricate world of “The Fox Wedding” and its relevance to the human psyche.

ABSTRACT Diva was a French film released to European audiences in 1981 and American ones in 1982. Directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix, this film comes from the 1970s cinéma du look movement that used striking imagery to portray social outsiders and express their alienation from society. This article summarizes the film, its characters, cinematography, and innovative musical score by Vladimir Cosma. Recurring motifs in the film emphasize a tenuous fragmentation that not only depicts life struggles for those who felt marginalized during the early 1980s, but also suggests an avant-garde possibility for conceptualizing the psyche. Rather than emphasizing static forms of identity, or identifying categories, Diva helps viewers appreciate the multiplicity of human experience and also its fragility. The author reviews Jung’s experimentation with mandalas and discusses his writings about them as illustrations of the psyche, in particular, the self trying to represent a kind of psychological order. Although Diva could be considered a type of film mandala, the author suggests that the term mosaic is more accurate—that it is a film mosaic. Further, he extends this interpretation to propose an updated view of human psyche as mosaic, a dynamic form with many disparate parts that we hope to hold together but often cannot.
摘要《女神》是一部法国电影，于1981年向欧洲观众上映，1982年向美国观众上映。这部电影由让-雅克·贝奈克斯执导，来自20世纪70年代的cinéma du look运动，该运动使用引人注目的意象来描绘社会局外人，表达他们与社会的疏离感。本文总结了这部电影，它的人物，摄影，和创新的音乐配乐弗拉基米尔·科斯马。电影中反复出现的主题强调了一种脆弱的碎片化，这种碎片化不仅描绘了20世纪80年代初那些感到被边缘化的人的生活斗争，而且也暗示了一种前卫的心理概念化的可能性。Diva没有强调静态的身份形式或识别类别，而是帮助观众欣赏人类体验的多样性及其脆弱性。作者回顾了荣格对曼陀罗的实验，并讨论了他关于曼陀罗作为心理插图的作品，特别是试图代表一种心理秩序的自我。尽管《女神异闻录》可以被认为是曼陀罗电影的一种，但作者认为马赛克这个词更准确——它是一种电影马赛克。此外，他扩展了这种解释，提出了一种将人类心理视为马赛克的更新观点，这是一种由许多不同部分组成的动态形式，我们希望将其结合在一起，但往往做不到。

ABSTRACT Catherine MacCoun’s book On Becoming an Alchemist offers practical guidance to anyone wanting to learn and apply alchemical principles. She enlightens and surprises us by sharing how alchemy isn’t something left to the past but is, instead, a treasure-trove of knowledge that can help in our daily struggles. Her book brings Jung’s alchemical work into the everyday world. Readable, engaging, and enlightening, MacCoun’s text reveals how alchemical operations can be used to transform such “inferior states” as desire into devotion, vulnerability into compassion, and territoriality into integrity. The downside of her book is a lack of differentiation between magic and alchemy, with the two words used at times interchangeably. Whereas magic has to do with control of supernatural forces through the agency of will, alchemy works through love; one seeks to command change, the other to facilitate the natural flow of life. Because the book conflates alchemy and magic, it does not discern the difference between cause and effect. The magic of alchemy is a felt experience, not a causal agent. Despite this lack of distinction, wisdom shines through in MacCoun’s deftly worded description of the Great Work. I think Jung would have appreciated MacCoun’s book because it gives practical application of his profound insights into the alchemical process.
