At the end of a dream keeper’s long life, what is to become of all the accumulated dream books and personal journals? Aside from the therapeutic value of documenting and saving one’s dreams and other personal commentaries during one’s life, is there historic or social value in a lifetime’s collection after death? Do they have value beyond the grave? What are our responsibilities toward these written records? When and how do we contend with the volumes of personal writing, some of which might contain valuable insights that are worth saving? This essay considers the emotional and practical deliberations around keeping and/or disposing of dream books and other journal writings documenting the daily wrestling match with psyche. It contains a personal history of two generations of dream keepers, with a third following in their tracks.

Active imagination finds many applications in psychotherapy. This personal narrative describes forms of active imagination, such as painting inner images individually and in groups. The author describes her struggles with the immediate external changes in her clinical work and teaching workshops due to the Covid-19 pandemic. She explores her internal resistance to engage creatively with symbols through painting and describes how her psychological attitude in the last years was directed to change. Some transformative results for participants in her groups, who were also dealing with the outer and inner effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, are addressed. The author’s renewed relationship with the psyche led to adjustments in her clinical approach and the creation of a professional Instagram account to share some of the transformational power of symbols.

Most aliens-on-earth movies move towards destruction, usually of the planet-wide kind, but the crux of Arrival is creation: the writing of a word, the beginning of a bond, the start of a life.—Craig Mathieson (2016, para. 11) Sometimes the Alien’s Call was motivated by no more and no less than the aim of awakening “the souls that had stumbled away from the place of light. They were to awaken them and shake them up, that they might lift their faces to the place of light.”—Hans Jonas (Ginza. Der Schatz oder das Mandäer, p. 308)
大多数关于地球上的外星人的电影都走向毁灭，通常是整个星球的毁灭，但《降临》的关键是创造:一个词的书写，一种纽带的开始，一种生活的开始。——克雷格·马西森(2016)11)有时候，《外星人的呼唤》的动机无非是为了唤醒“那些从光明之地迷失的灵魂”。要唤醒他们，震动他们，使他们仰面向光明之处。——汉斯·乔纳斯(银座)Der Schatz oder das Mandäer，第308页)

Adolescent Vulnerabilities and Opportunities, an invaluable addition to the Jean Piaget Symposium Series, explores adolescence through the lens of developmental psychology. The book reinvigorates the constructivist view of human development, emphasizing learning as an active process in which individuals accommodate new information and assimilate that information into what they already know. The editors, Eric Amsel and Judith G. Smetana, reawaken Piagetian principles in understanding the adolescent’s developmental trajectory. Jean Piaget embraced adolescents as active agents in their learning and development, empowered to design their development as they acquire morality, rationality, and an autonomous sense of self. The editors recognize adolescence as a critical and distinctive period in human development, fraught with unique and rewarding opportunities but also vulnerable to developmental risks. As adolescents actively navigate their development, they make sense of the world through coordinating activities that, in turn, shape their own individual development. As adolescents coordinate their activities, they develop a sense of self and fit themselves into the broader, social structure that surrounds them. Adolescents’ adaptive accommodation will depend on the coordination of their activities through opportunities for positive developmental outcomes and vulnerabilities inflicted when such coordinations are unsuccessful, impacting adolescents’ well-being, mental health, risk taking behaviors, parental conflict, and academic achievement. Amsel and Smetana divide a compilation of works authored by leading experts in developmental psychology into two parts. The first tackles the biological and cognitive components of adolescent development, emphasizing neurological changes unique to adolescence that are sensitive, yet critical, to the adolescent’s progression toward adulthood. The second part of the compilation addresses psychosocial and socio-relational development, underlining the impact of coordinating activities engaged in between the adolescent and others, namely parents, peers, teachers, and significant others, as well as the adolescent himself. The divided structure disentangles biological underpinnings from environmental forces, while still acknowledging the critical interplay between nature and nurture in understanding adolescent development, an interplay increasingly examined in cutting-edge research focusing on youth development (see, Negriff et al. 2011; van Roekel et al. 2011). The first chapter of Adolescent Vulnerabilities and Opportunities provides the reader with a formal introduction to the book’s content, assisting the reader in navigating through the chapters. It opens with an illustration of the constructivist perspective, viewing adolescents as architects constructing normative mental structures and processes.

Like a Zen koan, contemplating the question “Who am I?” is a lifelong journey of self-discovery that moves us forward along the path of individuation. In this paper, I considered the nature of my identity and explore the characteristics and attitudes that manifested through my family legacy for generations. My great-great-grandmother, Matilda Joslyn Gage, was an early suffragist and dedicated freedom fighter, and her daughter married L. Frank Baum, the author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. My family ancestry includes several individuals who have separated from the collective to express their individuality and make unique contributions to society. With the given name Dorothy, I have felt blessed and burdened in the shadow of these noteworthy individuals. This paper explores the genetic, epigenetic, and psychological fabric of my family lineage, and identifies inherited traits that suggest a generational transmission of resiliency, wisdom, and individuality. This exploration has led me to consider the possibility of “generational individuation,” a continuity of related individuals responding in unique ways to impersonal karma that manifests through family legacies and completes the unfinished business of previous generations. Considering the complexity of these ancestral relationships has enriched an understanding of who I am, exposed previously unexplored shadow material, and contributed to a deeper sense of meaning and purpose.
