The aim of this study is to determine the influence of personality type as described by Jungian personality theory on marriage problems and to determine the usability of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to solve problems in the understanding and appreciating of individual personality differences. The research depicts the importance of self-awareness to maintain significant relationships. Self-awareness is conceptualised as an integral part of personality psychology. Accurate personality assessment is described as a means to gain accurate self-awareness. A literature study is done on personality theories to discover what role they play in marriage counselling. The question - where does the personality theory of Jung fit into personality psychology and marriage counselling - is answered. The Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator® as an application of Jungian personality theory and an assessment technique to gain accurate self-awareness is discussed. A literature study of different marriage counselling approaches is presented and the focus of these approaches is discussed. None of these approaches used personality theory explicitly. A marriage counselling approach is developed which integrates the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The approach has five pillars: 1. Developing mutual trust 2. Recognizing and accepting individual differences 3. Giving and receiving feedback 4. Solving problems 5. Letting go of the past The research presents case studies, which confirm that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator does help individuals and couples to become self-aware and develop awareness of the differences between their personality types. This self-awareness helps to rebuild marital relationships. / Practical Theology / DTH (PRACTICAL THEOLOGY)

This dissertation proposes that West Indian contemporary male writers develop literary authority, or a voice that represents the nation, via a process of individuation. This process enables the contemporary male writer to unite the disparities of the matriarchal and patriarchal authorial traditions that inform his development of a distinctive creative identity. I outline three stages of authorial individuation that are inspired by Jung’s theory of individuation. The first is the contemporary male writer’s return to his nationalist forebears’ tradition to dissolve his persona, or identification with patriarchal authority; Fred D’Aguiar’s “The Last Essay About Slavery” and Feeding the Ghosts illustrate this stage. The second is his reconciliation of matriarchal (present) and patriarchal (past) traditions of literary authority via his encounter with his forebears’ feminized, raced shadow; Robert Antoni’s Blessed Is the Fruit evidences this process. The third is the contemporary male writer’s renunciation of authority defined by masculinity, which emerges as his incorporation of the anima, or unconscious feminine; Marlon James’s The Book of Night Women exemplifies this final phase of his individuation. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2013.

Within the Caribbean, the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique are unusual: they are French overseas departments and thus also European Union members. As such, they must assimilate to French national culture even though their heterogeneous populations, mainly descendants of exploited imported labour, have their own unique island identity. Their heavy economic dependence on France and the effects of modernization and globalization pose further identitarian challenges for them. Franco-Antillean literature clearly reflects this long-standing identity confusion. This thesis explores two very recent novels— Toxic Island by Guadeloupean Ernest Pépin and L’Empreinte à Crusoé by Martinican Patrick Chamoiseau— and their divergent stylistic treatments of individuation. Both are inspired by Édouard Glissant’s theories of Relation and Tout- Monde; both engage questions of language, orality, the island space, race, the subject of alterity and the role of the arts and artists in identity formation. Yet both are also marked by distinctly unique forms of ambivalence. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015 / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

The used methodology was based on a phenomenologic research from the study of ten cases in clinic attendance of individuals who spontaneously sought the cited service. It is important to note that the emergency attendance was offered for free by a convenant between the cited University and the Brasilian Public Heath System (SUS). The cases were treated and analyzed in the light of Jungian referencial. The attendance was carried out by six emergency psychologists previously selected and with a minimum of one year experience in clinical attendance. Three sessions were carried out for each patient and also a follow-up interview, was performed a month after the end of the Emergengy psychological attendance process. The group of emergency psychologists had a weekly supervision during the six month the research was performed. A detailed report of the clinical work as well as the personal perceptions of the emergency psychologists was delivered for each case of the program. The same has occurred with the supervisor-researcher who was responsible for the follow up interviews which reflected the patients feelings about the research. As a result, it was generated pool of ten reports from the psychologists about the attended patients?processes, ten follow-up interviews and ten perception reports from the supervisor-researcher about her personal understanding of the process as a whole. The emergency psychologists? reports, as well as the data obtained on the follow-up interview were divided in unities of significate which possibilitate the elaboration of specific syntheses, both from the emergency psychologist and the patient and from the supervisor-researcher. Thus, it was obtained three general syntheses refering to the lived element related to the research focus. The main results obtained show that, when the Emergency Psychological Attendance empathizes with the patient who needs psychological care, in the exact moment of his (her) crysis, treats with different times: one internal ( the patient time) and other external (the chronological time) and thus reaches such relevant results as to the contention of anguish in a brief time. Both Emergency Psychologists and patients experience a highly rich moment for their psyche, which makes viable the archetype of the wounded physician which, when constelating, assists the patient to recapture the hability to carry out his (her) autocure. Therefore, it is considered that Intervention Model used in the Emergency Psychological Attendance arises as an enormous hope of speeding and dinamizing the clinical services delivered by Psychology, enhancing the resources of this science for people who needs it within the health care field. / O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a Aten??o Psicol?gica disponibilizada no Servi?o de Plant?o Psicol?gico, aos usu?rios de uma Clinica-Escola Universit?ria, a partir das experi?ncias de Plantonistas, Clientes e Supervisora-Pesquisadora. Quanto ? quest?o metodol?gica, foi conduzida uma pesquisa fenomenol?gica a partir do estudo do atendimento cl?nico de dez casos referentes a pessoas que recorreram ao Servi?o de forma espont?nea. Ressalte-se que o acompanhamento foi oferecido de forma gratuita pelo conv?nio estabelecido entre a Universidade em quest?o e o SUS. Os casos foram atendidos e analisados ? luz de referencial junguiano. O atendimento foi realizado por seis plantonistas previamente selecionados e com no m?nimo um ano de experi?ncia em interven??es dessa natureza. Ocorreram tr?s sess?es por paciente mais uma entrevista de follow up, realizada um m?s ap?s o t?rmino do processo do Plant?o. O grupo de plantonistas foi supervisionado semanalmente durante os seis meses de realiza??o da pesquisa. Entregou relat?rio pormenorizado do seu trabalho cl?nico bem como de suas percep??es pessoais sobre o significado do Plant?o para cada caso. O mesmo ocorreu com a supervisora pesquisadora, encarregada das entrevistas de follow up, que no caso constituiu-se na voz do paciente dentro da pesquisa. Gerou-se ent?o um conjunto de dez relatos dos plantonistas sobre os processos dos clientes atendidos, dez entrevistas de follow up e dez relatos de percep??o da supervisora pesquisadora sobre seu entendimento pessoal daquele processo como um todo. Os relatos dos plantonistas, assim como os dados obtidos na entrevista de follow up foram divididos em unidades de significado que possibilitaram a elabora??o de s?nteses espec?ficas, tanto do plantonista, como do paciente e da supervisora pesquisadora. Obteve-se desse modo tr?s s?nteses gerais referentes ao elemento vivido, em rela??o ao foco da pesquisa. Os principais resultados foram que o Plant?o Psicol?gico ao colocar-se ao lado do paciente que necessita de atendimento psicol?gico no exato momento de sua crise lida com tempos diferentes: um interno (o tempo do paciente) e outro externo (o cronol?gico) e por isso consegue resultados t?o relevantes em termos de conten??o de ang?stias em um breve tempo. Plantonistas e Pacientes vivenciam um momento de encontro altamente fecundo para a psique de ambos, o que viabiliza a constela??o do arqu?tipo do curador ferido que, ao constelar-se, ajuda o paciente na retomada de sua capacidade de se autocurar, entre outros. Considera-se ent?o que o Modelo de Interven??o utilizado no Servi?o de Plant?o Psicol?gico desponta como uma grande esperan?a de agiliza??o e dinamiza??o dos servi?os cl?nicos prestados pela Psicologia, vindo a contribuir com uma gama maior de recursos que esta Ci?ncia pode colocar a servi?o de quem dela precisa dentro da ?rea da Sa?de.

It is an investigative study of relationship mother-baby. The bibliography compiled has suggested that the mother or the individual taking on the mother´s role has a key role in the process of falling asleep and maintaining baby´s sleep. Simultaneously, having a good and restful night sleep was something much valued and attempted by the parents. By applying the technique of change of sleep habits, which has been developed by the author, this study analyses three pairs of mother-baby basing its findings on the Jungian theory. The objective of the study has been achieved since the technique has proved to be efficient when stipulating different intervals of waiting time, according to psychological resources characterized by each phase of the human development. By providing an exclusive time for the mother-baby interaction through giving the baby a body massage, the baby was offered different experiences, both of primary bond and separation / O objetivo deste trabalho é verificar as possibilidades da aplicação de técnica de modificação dos hábitos de sono, em crianças com dificuldade para dormir, em um estudo investigativo da relação mãe-filho. A bibliografia estudada sugeriu que, a mãe ou a pessoa que faz o papel de mãe exerce papel fundamental no processo de adormecer e manter o sono do bebê, ao mesmo tempo em que para os pais, poder ter uma noite de sono ininterrupta era algo valorizado e buscado. Fazendo o uso da técnica para modificação de hábitos de sono desenvolvida pela autora, o estudo fez uma análise de três pares de mãe-bebê sob a ótica da linha teórica junguiana, alcançando seu objetivo, uma vez que a técnica mostrou-se eficiente ao estipular diferentes intervalos de tempo de espera, de acordo com os recursos psicológicos característicos de cada etapa do desenvolvimento humano, e também, ao propiciar um momento exclusivo para a interação mãe-bebê, através da massagem, cumprindo o papel de fornecer ao bebê ambas as experiências, tanto de união primária, como de separação

The material collected was analyzed based on the methodological guidelines for the Jungian paradigm. The analysis of the research projects identified the main methodological procedures adopted by the researchers, both for collecting and for interpreting the data, and the articulation between the objective of the research, the phenomenon selected as the object of research and the methodological procedures used to collect and analyze the material; the most frequent research modules were identified together with the main difficulties faced by the researchers in undertaking their research. Based on an analysis of the material collected, a research method for investigation into analytical psychology was proposed. The research process, within the Jungian paradigm, includes stages for apprehending and comprehending phenomena, during which methodological procedures and resources are used that are compatible with the basic guidelines for the paradigm, which include symbolic amplification. Special attention was given to the researcher s participation in the process, considering his/her function and academic background and more importantly, the development of a symbolic attitude to approach the work and within the relationship researcher-researched . This research also identifies the main risk that the research activity presents to the contemporary Jungian researcher, and consequently, the care that needs to be taken during the research process. Finally, the ethical implications of scientific activity in general are discussed, and particularly in the work of Jungian researchers. The research method in analytical psychology, given its characteristics, epistemology and methodologies, is referred to as an archetypical symbolic procedure / Com o objetivo de fazer uma proposta de método de pesquisa em psicologia analítica, foi feito um levantamento da produção acadêmica nesta abordagem teses de doutorado e dissertações de mestrado em duas universidades brasileiras PUC-SP e USP no período de 2002 a 2007. O material coletado foi analisado, a partir das diretrizes metodológicas do paradigma junguiano. A análise das pesquisas destacou os principais procedimentos metodológicos utilizados pelos pesquisadores, tanto na coleta como na interpretação dos dados. A articulação entre o fenômeno eleito com o objeto de pesquisa, o objetivo e os procedimentos metodológicos de coleta e análise do material propiciou a identificação das modalidades de pesquisa mais frequentes e as principais dificuldades dos pesquisadores. Com base na análise do material coletado, foi feita uma proposta de método de investigação em psicologia analítica. O processo de pesquisa, no paradigma junguiano, abarca as etapas de apreensão e compreensão dos fenômenos, nas quais são empregados recursos e procedimentos metodológicos compatíveis com as diretrizes básicas do paradigma. Dentre eles, destaca-se a amplificação simbólica. A participação do pesquisador, sua função, sua formação e, sobretudo, o aprimoramento da atitude simbólica na condução do processo e na relação pesquisador-pesquisado foram ressaltados. São, também, apontados os principais riscos que a atividade de pesquisa oferece ao pesquisador junguiano contemporâneo e com isso, os cuidados a serem observados durante o processo. Por fim, são discutidas as implicações éticas da atividade científica, em geral, e do trabalho do pesquisador junguiano, em especial. O método de pesquisa em psicologia analítica, por suas características, epistemológicas e metodológicas, é denominado processamento simbólico arquetípico

The study included six women, aged between 18 and 46 years, all diagnosed with BPD and self-mutilating behavior history. Data collecting made use of the revised diagnostic interview for borderlines (DIB-R) applied for diagnostic purposes and research participation , a semi-structured interview, the person and family drawing, and a thematic drawing. The collected data were analyzed in light of Jungian analytical and psychosomatic psychology. As a result of the compilation of the accounts given during the interviews, 5 categories and 13 subcategories were identified: difficulties in relationships (family, love and interpersonal), low self-esteem and negative self-image, sexual abuse, high tolerance to physical pain/low pain tolerance to emotional pain, self-mutilating behavior (objects, body sites, forms, triggers, feelings, symbolic representation, ideation and suicide attempts, altered state of consciousness). Results show fragile emotional bonds in family relations, pathological love relationships, dependency and instability in interpersonal relations. The findings indicate that patients have low self-esteem and negative self-image, as well as high tolerance to physical pain with low tolerance to emotional pain. It was also observed that during the self-mutilating behavior, an altered state of consciousness may occur. It can be said that the inability of these patients to symbolize and express their grief at the emotional level leads them to concretizing the pain expression on their bodies, through its transduction into physical pain, by means of self-mutilating behavior. This study concluded that the purpose of such behaviour is the relief of pain and pre-existing emotional distress / A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar, sob a abordagem da psicologia junguiana, as possíveis motivações, propósitos e significados que o paciente com transtorno de personalidade borderline (TPB) atribui ao seu comportamento automutilante. Participaram do estudo seis mulheres, entre 18 e 46 anos de idade, todas diagnosticadas com TPB e histórico de comportamento automutilante. Na coleta de dados, foram utilizadas a entrevista diagnóstica revisada para borderlines (DIB-R) aplicada com fins diagnósticos e de participação na pesquisa , a entrevista semiestruturada, o desenho da pessoa e família, e o desenho temático. Os dados coletados foram analisados à luz da psicologia analítica e psicossomática junguiana. Como resultado da compilação dos relatos das entrevistas, foram levantadas 5 categorias e 13 subcategorias: dificuldades nos relacionamentos (familiares, amorosos e interpessoais), baixa autoestima e autoimagem negativa, abuso sexual, alta tolerância à dor física/baixa tolerância à dor emocional, comportamento automutilante (objetos, locais do corpo, formas, fatores desencadeantes, sentimentos, representação simbólica, ideações e tentativas de suicídio, estado alterado de consciência). Os resultados apontaram para vínculos afetivos fragilizados nos relacionamentos familiares, relações amorosas patológicas, dependência e instabilidade nos relacionamentos interpessoais. Os achados indicaram que as pacientes têm baixa autoestima e autoimagem negativa, além de alta tolerância à dor fisica com baixa tolerância à dor emocional. Observou-se ainda que, durante o comportamento automutilante, pode ocorrer um estado alterado de consciência. Pode-se dizer que a incapacidade dessas pacientes em simbolizar e expressar sua dor no plano emocional faz com que elas concretizem a expressão dessa dor no corpo, quando há a transdução da mesma em dor corporal, por meio do comportamento automutilante. Concluiu-se que o objetivo desse ato é o alívio da dor e do sofrimento emocional pré-existente

<p>Meditation, med ett ursprung från yoga, har blivit allt vanligare i friskvården mot fysiska stressymptom exempelvis för att minska muskelspänningar men även som ett verktyg för den egna personliga utvecklingen. Samtidigt som forskningsresultat visar på meditationens betydelse för fysisk kropp och det mentala finns rapporter från forskare som varnar för överdriven tilltro till undersökningar som inte verifierats eller varit undermåliga. Uppsatsens syfte har varit att studera meditation utifrån jungianskt och klassisk yogafilosofiskt perspektiv. Med detta som bakgrund har en intervjuundersökning gjorts för att få meditationsutövares svar på frågor om varför de börjat meditera, vilken effekt på den fysiska och mentala kroppen man upplever i samband med meditation och hur man vill beskriva meditationens betydelse för sin personliga utveckling. Metoden som använts är inspirerad av fenomenografi. Resultaten tyder på att de intervjuade från början fokuserat på meditationens betydelse för att minska stress, spänningar med mera, men efterhand även blivit intresserade av meditation för sin personliga utveckling. De intervjuade beskriver meditationen som ett led i att lära sig förstå dynamiken mellan det medvetna och det omedvetna och få förståelse för sin egen utveckling. Studien visar på betydelsen av god kvalitet på forskningen för att kunna påvisa effekten av meditation och dess möjligheter.</p>

<p>Den här uppsatsen är en studie i synkroniciteten och individuationsprocessen med utgångspunkt från C. G. Jungs definitioner.</p><p>Begreppet synkronicitet introducerades av C. G. Jung år 1951. Denna princip förenar händelser på ett akausalt sätt. Synkronicitet är enligt C. G. Jung ett sammanträffande av ett inre subjektivt tillstånd som sammanfaller med ett yttre skeende som står i direkt beröring med det inre tillståndet. De synkronistiska händelserna gör att vi måste se världen som ett enat fält vari ens egna upplevelser och handlingar i grunden hänger samman med andras erfarenheter och ageranden. Meningen är unik och specifik för just den eller de personer som är inblandade. Den är på det psykiska och emotionella planet.</p><p>Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om det finns en ökning eller minskning av synkronicitet beroende på var vi står i individuationsprocessen, om man kan påverka synkronicitets tillfällena och om vissa har mera eller mindre av dessa sammanträffanden. I uppsatsen redogör jag även för skillnaden mellan projektion och synkronisering.</p>
