The article presents the author's reply to comments made by writer A. Plaut on the author's paper "Technique and Counter-Tansference.' The author said that the most complete absence of the term archetype in his article is not due to its being 'omitted' but is the result of considering technique as a manifestation of ego functioning. He also says that while Plaut may be right in reproaching him for inexact attribution of the phrase 'incarnating the archetype' and for not including the term 'image,' he records in his defence that he did not put the phrase in quotation mark and that in the phrase the word 'image' is redundant as an archetype couldn't be embodied without there being an image.

The article focuses on writer Michael Fordham's paper, 'Technique and Counter-transference," which explains the concept of 'technique.' The author feels that a closer and more comprehensive examination of the concept of technique in this paper would help to avoid confusion and throw a new light on the conclusions. To clarify the symbolic meaning of technique one must see the close relation it has with mechanisms, machinery, mechanical processes, etc. Technique is a procedure of doing things, acquired by training and practicing and it is applied repeatedly and even repetitiously without any conscious thought or reeling. It represents the acquired habit of adroitness.

This research paper presents a case history of a man in his late twenties, and analyzes the case psychologically. The man, from his late teens had a difficulty in relating to women. He was a bright scholar and on leaving the university started a career in the diplomatic sphere, furthered this with considerable success during his war service, and found himself returned to civil life with good prospects and considerable status at the age of twenty-five. He talked of his fear of returning to his work and his shame at having had a breakdown. By analyzing the dreams of this patient, this paper focuses upon the significance of the latent homosexual orientation of symptom-formation, its influence upon the transference, and in particular on the part it plays in the therapeutic process.

This research paper presents two cases of patients, whose psychic structure differed considerably from that of the usual run of neurotic patients. Both patients were under 30 years of age, and were immature personalities suffering from considerable ego weakness. It uses the term hungry for these patients as the subject of food and eating took a prominent place in their analyses. It also refers to the relations between hunger and sexual instincts. Considering ego as a complex factor having both a somatic and a psychic basis, both of which consist in turn of conscious and unconscious factors, observations refer to those endo-somatic stimuli which hover on the border of consciousness.

The article focuses on the quality of analyst's personality to be able to mobilize on his patient's behalf as a therapeutic factor in analysis. This quality of personality seems to be connected with concern, patience and a capacity to remain-in-being for his patient. Three qualities, genuineness, non-possessive warmth and accurate empathy seems to be essential for to the successful therapist. There is a growing body of experience to suggest that apart from the knowledge, the skill and the personal motivation, the therapeutic set up demands that therapist must be able to mobilize his sentiments, his predisposition and his capacity for concern and openness within the limits of his human personal condition.

The role of early childhood memories in the life of the individual has been explored by a number of psychologists belonging to different schools, although Alfred Adler and his followers have specifically contributed to this research. An interpretation of early childhood dreams and visions from psychologist C. G. Jung's point of view is still missing and is attempted here. Jung himself conducted German language seminars on childhood dreams which, however, have been reproduced only for private circulation. In those seminars Jung discussed the fact that, looked at in retrospect, early childhood dreams not inadequately seem. to have determined the pen on's future. This has become the starting point of this paper.

The article presents views of Marianne Jacoby, a psychologist, on a research paper by E.F. Edinger, a psychologist published in a 1960 issue of "Journal of Analytical Psychology." The way in which Edinger states his ideas presupposes their general acceptance.

Instead of discussing the complex processes involved in these concepts, Edinger has only put forward conclusions.

The dance is a natural manifestation of inner dynamic processes, closely related to man's psychic functioning. Its primordial roots, its universality, its numinous affect, reveal its archetypal quality. The dance is a part of the phylogeny of man and the impulse lives on within him. To dream of the dance is not unusual. Even those whose lives have brought them no contact with this activity may nevertheless turn dancers in their dreams. This research paper is an attempt to analyze the psychological factors of dance dreaming in order to facilitate an understanding of this ever-living impulse in man's psychic life.

Psychological development at any age occurs in, and is dependent upon, complex patterns of group relationships and it is vital that these should be studied directly. According to analytical psychologist C.G Jung "individuation does not shut one out from the world, but gathers the world to oneself and relationship to the self is at once relationship to our fellow men." In view of the comparative lack of interest in group analysis shown by analytical psychologists, this research paper aims at intimating, in broad outline, some methods of investigation of, and a few tentative formulations about, the structure and dynamics of analytic groups.
