Abstract

PENNA, Eloisa Marques Damasco. Researching into analytical psychology: reflections on the researcher's unconscious. Bol. psicol [online]. 2007, vol.57, n.127, pp. 127-138. ISSN 0006-5943.

At the start, the article locates researching in analytical Psychology in the frame of qualitative methodology and articulates the epistemological and methodological perspectives of the Jungian paradigm with the main goal of discussing the researcher’s role and attitude along the researching process, stressing the participation of unconscious aspects while producing scientific knowledge. The article also discusses the relationship researcher-participant, emphasizing the interaction between the researcher’s knowledge and self-knowledge, observation and self-observation, subjectivity and objectivity. Finally it is stressed the relevance of training for the Jungian researcher aiming the development of a symbolic attitude at the researching process in order to attend the Jungian paradigm’s epistemological and methodological requests.

Keywords : Researching process; Unconscious; Self-observation; Subjectivity and objectivity.
