Fortunately many scientists in the field of Psycho therapy are beginning to sense this correlation. In Francis G. Wickes' The Inner World of Choice reference is made to "the existence in every person of a galaxy of potentialities for growth marked by a succession of personalogical evolution and interaction with environments." She points out that man is not only an individual particle but "also a part of the human stream, governed by a Self greater than his own individual self."

It is not to be denied that advice may occasionally do some good, but
advice is about as characteristic of modern Psycho therapy as bandaging of
modern surgery that is to say, personal and authoritarian influence is an
important factor in healing, but not by any means the only one, and in no
sense does it constitute the essence of Psycho therapy. Whereas formerly it
seemed to be everybodys province, today Psycho therapy has become a
science and uses the scientific method. With our deepened understanding of

leitmotiv or basic postulate of all the more recent forms of Psycho therapy.

of the existence of Psycho therapy, and the intelligent doctor knows, from
his own practice, the great importance of psychological influence. Hence in

rights of Psycho therapy and practise it with self-sacrificing devotion,
despite the fact that their work is often made bitter for them by ridicule,

These differences are the source of numerous misunderstandings, and it is

less on the clinical picture than on the content of complexes. Psychological

as well as sicknesses; but Psycho therapy knows first and foremostor
rather should know that its proper concern is not the fiction of a neurosis

Catholic, a Baptist, or what not; whether the man she married be old or
young, and all the rest of it. Psycho therapy began by attacking the
symptom, just as medicine did. Despite its undeniable youthfulness as a

of Psycho therapy. When we direct our attention to the psyche from the
viewpoint of the natural sciences, it appears as one biological factor among

the ideas derived from the sphere of medicine are not enough. But, to the
extent that Psycho therapy, considered as part of the healing art, should
never, for many cogent reasons, slip out of the doctors control and should

to the natural sciences, Psycho therapy needs the help of the humane
sciences as well.

and Psycho therapy, I ought really to describe the phenomenology of those
psychic processes which manifest themselves in the course of treatment

It would be a rewarding task to examine in some detail the
relationship between Psycho therapy and the state of mind in Europe today.
Yet probably no one would be blamed for shrinking from so bold a
--
political and ideological chaos of present-day Europe? Or should we
perhaps do better to narrow the field of Psycho therapy and restrict our
science to a modest specialists corner, remaining indifferent to the ruin of
half the world? I fear that such a course, in spite of its commendable
modesty, would ill accord with the nature of Psycho therapy, which is after
all the treatment of the soul. Indeed, the concept of Psycho therapy,
however one may choose to interpret it, carries with it very great

impossible, to carve out an arbitrarily limited segment of the infinitely vast
realm of the psyche and call that the secluded theatre of Psycho therapy.
Medicine, it is true, has found itself obliged to mark off a specific field,

for the practical purpose of treatment. But the artificial restriction must be
broken down immediately Psycho therapy understands its problems not
simply as those of a technique but as those of a science. Science qua

can never be properly understood. Psycho therapy is therefore less able
than any other specialized department of science to take refuge in the

is one of the most difficult tasks of modern Psycho therapy. At one time it
was optimistically assumed that the parental imagos could be more or less

imagos are no longer projected, let us turn to another question: Is this
problem, which has been brought to light by modern Psycho therapy, a new
one in the sense that it was unknown to earlier ages which possessed no

In so far as earlier ages had in fact no knowledge of Psycho therapy in
our sense of the word, we cannot possibly expect to find in history any

It is here that opinion is apt to be divided. In so far as Psycho therapy
claims to stand on a scientific basis and thus by the principle of free

and of his own free choice. But, in so far as political aims and the State are
to claim precedence, Psycho therapy would inevitably become the
instrument of a particular political system, and it is to its aims that people

present juncture. Future developments will decide whether Europe, which

[274] As I have said, the process of transformation does not come to an end with the production of the quaternity symbol. The continuation of the opus leads to the dangerous crossing of the Red Sea, signifying death and rebirth. It is very remarkable that our author, by his paradox running without running, moving without motion, introduces a coincidence of opposites just at this point, and that the Hippolytus text speaks, equally paradoxically, of the gods of destruction and the god of salvation being together. The quaternity, as we have seen, is a quaternio of opposites, a synthesis of the four originally divergent functions. Their synthesis is here achieved in an image, but in psychic reality becoming conscious of the whole psyche503 faces us with a highly problematical situation. We can indicate its scope in a single question: What am I to do with the unconscious?
[275] For this, unfortunately, there are no recipes or general rules. I have tried to present the main outlines of what the psycho therapist can observe of this wearisome and all too familiar process in my study The Relations between the Ego and the Unconscious. For the layman these experiences are a terra incognita which is not made any more accessible by broad generalizations. Even the imagination of the alchemists, otherwise so fertile, fails us completely here. Only a thorough investigation of the texts could shed a little light on this question. The same task challenges our endeavours in the field of Psycho therapy. Here too are thousands of images, symbols, dreams, fantasies, and visions that still await comparative research. The only thing that can be said with some certainty at present is that there is a gradual process of approximation whereby the two positions, the conscious and the unconscious, are both modified. Differences in individual cases, however, are just as great as they were among the alchemists.
