word association test
Definition:
The Word Association Test is a psychological technique developed by Jung to uncover unconscious complexes. The client responds to a series of stimulus words with the first word that comes to mind, and the analyst observes reactions, delays, or emotional responses.
Example:
This test helps identify and explore unconscious complexes that influence the client’s thoughts and behaviours. For instance, a hesitation or strong emotional reaction to a word like “father” might point to unresolved paternal issues.
