Abstract

CAETANO, Aurea Afonso M.. Error in analytical psychology: shadow or light?. Junguiana [online]. 2018, vol.36, n.2, pp. 39-46. ISSN 0103-0825.

The author rescues the notion of error in analytical psychology, revisiting Jung's early work on the word association test. She tries to understand what supports the analytical process, both from the point of view of psychodynamics and from the new models of brain functioning as proposed by neurosciences. She discusses, to what extent, the search for the right, the ideal model can inhibit development; proposes that our work as psychotherapists is to enable the formation of a field favorable to the (re) construction of the intrapsychic movement and not to correct "errors" introducing the important discrimination between "to cure" and "to heal".

Keywords : analytical encounter; error; word association test; neurosciences; interrelation; symptom; cure.
