Tradition and originality in the transference: a Coleridgean commentary
The Journal of Analytical Psychology
|June 18, 2009
Summary
Faith and trust are crucial in psychoanalysis. Overcoming existential doubts requires embracing originality over tradition to foster individuation and a deeper analytic trust.
Area of Science:
- Psychoanalytic theory
- Psychology of self-experience
- Clinical psychology
Background:
- Explores S.T. Coleridge's concepts of faith and trust.
- Examines the tension between tradition and originality in psychoanalysis.
- Addresses existential doubts impacting analysands' confidence in the analytic relationship.
Discussion:
- Analysands may substitute 'tradition' (e.g., professional status) for 'originality' due to self-doubt.
- An anticipatory, cerebral 'faith' may sustain the analytic process initially.
- The goal is to develop heartfelt 'trust' for individuation.
Key Insights:
- 'Faith' is a precursor to deeper 'trust' in analytic work.
- Appropriating 'tradition' can be a defense against vulnerability.
- Facilitating 'originality' is key to fostering patient integrity.
Outlook:
- Further research into the 'analytic attitude' is needed.
- Sensitivity to transference dynamics is vital for clinical practice.
- Understanding these tensions can enhance therapeutic outcomes.

01:18Principle of Equivalence
According to Albert Einstein (1897-1955), free-falling and feeling weightless are intrinsically linked. If a person were in free-fall under gravity, for example, diving towards the Earth from an airplane, they would feel completely weightless. Similarly, a person descending in a lift may feel partially weightless. Broadly speaking, it is assumed that an object in a uniform gravitational field and an object undergoing constant acceleration in the absence of gravity are under the same...
03:22Colloids
Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles that are visible to the naked eye or can be seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. On the other hand, a solution is a homogeneous mixture in which no settling occurs and in which the dissolved...
01:15Blood Transfusion
Blood transfusion is a critical medical procedure that saves lives and treats various medical conditions. It involves transferring blood from a donor to a recipient. This process requires a thorough understanding of the ABO blood group system and its associated antigens and antibodies.
Blood Transfusion Overview
A blood transfusion is a medical procedure used to replace blood lost due to injury, surgery, or to treat conditions such as anemia or cancer. During a transfusion, donor blood is...

01:06Divergence and Stokes' Theorems
The divergence and Stokes' theorems are a variation of Green's theorem in a higher dimension. They are also a generalization of the fundamental theorem of calculus. The divergence theorem and Stokes' theorem are in a way similar to each other; The divergence theorem relates to the dot product of a vector, while Stokes' theorem relates to the curl of a vector. Many applications in physics and engineering make use of the divergence and Stokes' theorems, enabling us to write numerous physical laws...
01:15Source Transformation
Source transformation is a fundamental technique employed in circuit analysis, offering a valuable tool for simplifying complex electrical circuits. This technique involves the replacement of either a voltage source in series with a resistor by a current source in parallel with a resistor, or vice versa. The key concept here is that when the original sources are deactivated (turned off), the equivalent resistance at the circuit's end terminals remains the same.

01:14Interpretations of Partial Derivatives
A surface defined by a function of two variables can be visualized as a vast, uneven terrain, where each point is identified using Cartesian coordinates. The elevation of the terrain at any point is determined by a function that assigns a height value to every pair of horizontal coordinates. This representation allows the surface to be studied in terms of how its height varies across different directions.At a specific point on this terrain, understanding how the height changes requires...
