Some psychodynamics involved in the use of banal phrases.

Commonplace phrases, expressions frequent and familiar in the common vernacular, may appear so repetitively in a patient's discourse that they lose significance and so evade analytic scrutiny. These phrases are so trite and shopworn that their function as conveyors of meaning disappears. Speaker and listener quickly habituate to these expressions and automatically exclude them from consideration. Their use illustrates a process whereby a small segment of behavior becomes engorged with frozen meaning and is then maintained by the unwitting collaboration of speaker and listener, both of whom fail to recognize them as meaningful and fail to subject them to scrutiny required of the believer in psychological determinism. I will here give case illustrations of these phenomena and explore such materials for evidence of their importance and significance in the individual's psychic economy. I will compare certain of the mechanisms that support these constructs to those of other psychic phenomena, and will offer some explanation to explain their exemption from analytic scrutiny.

Dreams of Freud and Jung: reciprocal relationships between social relations and archetypal/transpersonal imagination.

Phenomenological and quantitative comparisons of the dreams of Freud and Jung become the basis for a more extended understanding of the relation between the psychodynamic and transpersonal/archetypal perspectives. Winnicott's distinction between the dimensions of being and doing/relating offers a developmental model of these perspectives based on a dialectic between two lines of growth-each with its own forms of health/pathology and its own primitive/advanced expressions. These dimensions, in both their positive and negative forms, are shown to be densely intertwined throughout the dreams (and characters) of Freud and Jung, whose theories emerge as reasonable reflections of their complementary ways of being in the world.

The evolutionary and developmental origins of patient-induced countertransference.

The concept of patient-induced countertransference is important is in a number of contemporary schools of psychoanalysis. This phenomenon is a product of emotional induction, the primary form of communication among prehuman animals, and the channel of communication used between infants and adults prior to the acquisition of language. Emotional induction is interwoven with all areas of human emotional communication even after the acquisition of language. It is often tied to the repetition compulsion. In the analytic setting it stimulates the analyst's experience of the patient-induced countertransference, and is an integral part of all stages of the psychoanalytic process.
