Abstract
|
|
|
After a careful review on the concept of transference from the perspective of analytical psychology with Jung’s view in the center, the author had proposed that an interpretation for the whole series of ‘Rosarium Philosophorum’ including its posterior part to which Jung didn’t refer in ‘The Psychology of The Transference’ be carried out for the genuine understanding of transference.
The symbolic meaning of the twenty woodcuts’ pictures in ‘Rosarium Philosophorum’ could be interpreted as the alchemical stages of blackening, whitening, yellowing, reddening and etc. The transformation through each stage could be associated with the process of psychotherapy as well as individuation process and the meaning of transference could be elucidated as a kind of initiating process for the individuation process. The eastern traditional thoughts on psychic transformation and human development were also compared.
The individuation process would be coexistent with the development of human relationship including the therapeutic relationship and the concept of human (人 and 人間) in the eastern traditional thoughts would have many meaningful implications for further studies.
