Propaedeuticum for Analysts
Imagine that after a period of time in practice, Jungian analysts are asked to retake the propaedeuticum, the qualifying exams required to pass into the final stages of control work. This is virtually what happens in a series of articles in Psychoanalytic Dialogues, 10, 3, 377-512, 2000: ‘Analytical Psychology after Jung with Clinical Case Material from Stephen Mitchell's Influence and Autonomy in Psychoanalysis’ by James L. Fosshage and Jody M.

Does dream analysis remain central for you as it did for Jung? Do you make use of his concept of archetypes?
Do you make use of approaches and concepts stemming from any of the various psychoanalytic orientations (e.g., self-psychological, relational, interpersonal, object-relational, classical)? If so, which ones? How do you blend the Jungian and the psychoanalytic in your pract
