ABSTRACT This paper reviews the nature of archetypes in analytical theory, grounded in the transpersonal archetype of the life cycle. It then examines the nature of aesthetics, the aesthetic attitude, aesthetic inquiry, and aesthetic practices in the art and psyche of C. G. Jung and in the art of the African Diaspora. In the art of the African Diaspora the primary focus is on Pan African sculpture and the influences of African culture on aesthetics. These cultural influences include historiography, religion, mythology, ethnic group style, techniques, artistic skills, and an African aesthetic criteria of excellence to help see beauty within and across cultures. The approach to the subject matter adopts an interdisciplinary perspective, drawing from the literature in analytical psychology on Jung, his art and psyche; on contributions to African art historiography by contemporary art historians and curators of African Art; and from the personal aesthetic inquiry and clinical practice of the author. It concludes with consideration of the psychological properties of aesthetics, aesthetic practices, and the power of active imagination in healing personal and collective intergenerational trauma, and for optimal development across the life span.

ABSTRACT This article engages the concept and experience of otherness, or the “stranger within,” through the artwork of Francis Bacon. Bacon’s artwork is explored utilizing Jung’s concept of the shadow; Bion’s interrelated concepts of β-element, α-element, α-function, containment, and reverie; and Burke’s concept of the sublime. The encounter with otherness, so essential to the analytical process, as well our engagement with the world around us, is also central to Bacon’s art. Bacon’s work both confronts and reveals. Through distortions of figure, expression, and space Bacon meditates on the abject, distorted, disfigured, and painful aspects of experience.

Marybeth Carter
ABSTRACT This article explores the archetypal aspects of dream images of the anus and the alimentary canal including their psychological and psychosocial significance as a site of psychic coniunctio. Freudian anal regression theory and Jungian alchemical interpretations are discussed in both their illumination and obfuscation of these symbols as well as their expression of a possible heterosexist ideology. Positive meanings of the anal-coniunctio union, reflecting on patient dreams and fantasy material concerning anal penetration and its possible psychic significance, are described. The author argues that the disavowal of the anal-coniunctio union is an instance of othering that precludes fertile considerations.

ABSTRACT It is a well-known fact that Jung decided to devote himself to a systematic study of the European alchemical tradition at the beginning of the 1930s. What readied him to do so remains, to this day, uncertain. Shedding light on Jung’s long-standing interest in rituals and processes of death and rebirth, which culminated in his 1932 Ravenna vision, the second part of this article retraces Jung’s earliest references to alchemy in his published writings, from the early 1920s to 1932. Transpiring from this rereading are his early interest in Silberer’s work, his forays into late antique demonology, and his contacts with G. R. S. Mead, which all preceded (and likely inspired) his 1919–1920 alchemical paintings in The Red Book. All this also sheds new light on Jung’s encounter with Richard Wilhelm and Chinese alchemy.

What readied him to do so remains, to this day, uncertain. Shedding light on Jung’s long-standing interest in rituals and processes of death and rebirth, which culminated in his 1932 Ravenna vision, this article traces Jung’s earliest understanding of alchemy back to the pages of The Red Book. A close reading of a sequence of four illuminations, which Jung painted in the fall of 1919, allows us to see how profound his understanding of alchemy as an experience of inner rebirth already was, and how powerfully those early images kept reverberating through Jung’s later alchemical writings.

ABSTRACT The Absent Father Effect on Daughters: Father Desire, Father Wounds explores, in depth, the destructive impact of paternal absence on women. Each chapter combines deep familiarity with psychoanalytic and Jungian theory, alongside telling amplifications from fairytales, mythology, biblical and literary sources, with detailed and sensitive clinical illustrations. Susan E. Schwartz presents focused discussion on central topics, such as narcissism, archetypal father, as-if personality, puella, and more. Her discussion of the life and poetry of Sylvia Plath is particularly memorable. The book is intelligent, passionate, insightful, and likely to become a Jungian classic.
《父亲缺席对女儿的影响:父亲的欲望,父亲的创伤》深入探讨了父亲缺席对女性的破坏性影响。每一章都结合了对精神分析和荣格理论的深入了解,同时讲述了童话、神话、圣经和文学资料的放大,并附有详细而敏感的临床插图。苏珊·e·施瓦茨(Susan E. Schwartz)对中心主题进行了集中讨论,如自恋、原型父亲、假装人格、puella等等。她对西尔维娅·普拉斯的生平和诗歌的讨论尤其令人难忘。这本书睿智、充满激情、富有洞察力,很可能成为荣格学派的经典之作。
