analyst and patient

Definition:

The relationship between the analyst and patient is a central aspect of Jungian therapy. The analyst acts as a guide, helping the patient explore their unconscious through dialogue and interpretation, while maintaining a dynamic relationship that reflects transference and countertransference processes.

Example:

This relationship fosters a safe space for the patient to explore their psyche, while the analyst’s role in interpreting symbols and dreams aids in uncovering unconscious patterns and conflicts.
