This symposium is a mixed presentation from various schools. Fordham's paper gives Jung's theoretical formulations of archetypes, summarizing the proof of the detection of archetypes based upon examinations of the dreams and fantasies of many people. Familiar, classical, and unconvincing exposition of the nature of the archetype concludes this paper. Heimann's subject deals primarily with the presentation of the concept of introjection, ambivalence, and superego formation from the Kleinian point of view. Adler presents clinical material which he offers in evidence to the existence of archetypes. Scott's paper is a very brief discussion of mandala symbols, showing the difference between the freudian and Jungian attitudes, with a cautious nod toward the freudian point of view.
