‘On the couch: house training the Id’ explains how the intertwining of psychoanalysis and fairy tale is tight, and the stories are still trusted to offer a key to understanding the human psyche—regardless of history or social circumstances. It considers Bruno Bettelheim’s The Uses of Enchantment, one of the most influential studies of fairy tales ever written, and the work of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. The stories have universal meaning, but most decodings remain subjective. The belief that the stories have the power to lead by example and shape character, especially gender, to engineer social citizens, and inculcate values and ideology has been widely held and is still accepted.

Because the marvelous elements in fairy tales call for an explanation, a cohort of bright minds have pored over the problem of fairy-tale symbolism. Models sharing the nineteenth-century penchant for genetic inquiries have assumed that symbols are the survivals of archaic metaphors. Thus, Max Müller proposed that myths and fairy tales stem from obscured metaphors about solar phenomena; Sigmund Freud speculated that fairy-tale symbolism is the fossilized residue of primordial sexual metaphors; and Carl Jung submitted that symbols express immanent archetypes of the human psyche. Such early approaches assume that symbols convey fixed meanings, and they disregard the effects of folklore variation on meanings. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm did take variation into account. They conceived Märchen in terms of immanent blueprints incessantly recreated in myriad retellings, but they never tried to make sense of the themes by means of the variants. This path was taken by folklorists influenced by Freud. Alan Dundes proposed to harness tale variants to grasp symbolic equivalences, and he pioneered the study of folk metaphors. But Dundes focused on preset Freudian symbols, a trend that Bengt Holbek followed. To this day, the prospect of addressing fairy-tale symbolism beyond Freud’s assumption of fixed translations remains elusive. Nevertheless, the basic tools are available. Maria Tatar remarked that fairy tales are metaphoric devices, and Claude Lévi-Strauss pointed out that metaphors—in switching terms that belong to different codes—lay bare the broader semantic field underlying each transposition. Müller, Freud, Dundes, Tatar, and Lévi-Strauss variously glimpsed metaphoric patterns in tale variations. The time is ripe to synthesize these intuitions in the light of contemporary cognitive research on conceptual metaphor, so as to address the creative dynamics of symbolism in fairy tales.

El presente texto, es un acumulado de momentos, escritos por un adulto con corazón de niño, es decir, imperfecto, sensible, noble, sin embargo, a la vez afrontando las dificultades y responsabilidades de la vida adulta. La técnica empleada en este poemario es la prosa, que me permite expresar de manera natural vivencias, y que pueda plasmarlo de forma escrita, sin la exigencia que implica un verso métrico o una rima, que los grandes Cesar Vallejo, Pablo Neruda, Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer o Gabriela Mistral, entre otros; utilizaron de manera magistral. Sin embargo, vale también mencionar que grandes poetas como Octavio Paz, Julio Cortázar, Mario Benedetti, Alejandra Pizarnik y Silvia Plath entre otros, utilizaron la técnica prosa también de manera brillante. Salvando las distancias de los grandes exponentes poetas, este pequeño poemario, en su estilo propio y original, también intenta explorar y expresar una parte de las profundidades del alma o de la consciencia o de la inconsciencia que difundieron Sigmund Freud Y Carl Jung, con el objetivo de sacar a la luz o al campo consciente de nuestro YO, con palabras sencillas: lo que pensamos y sentimos frente a situaciones difíciles que nos reta la vida. El gran psicoanalista Jacques Lacan afirmaba que todos buscamos reflejarnos en nuestro YO ideal, es decir, buscamos en otras personas una realización del ideal que nosotros quisiéramos ser, ya sea para amarlo o para odiarlo. En mi caso, ese YO ideal fue un niño imaginario, es decir, buscaba reflejarme en ese niño imaginario e ideal, al escribir estos poemas. Cada estrofa aquí escrita, fue fruto de etapas difíciles como adulto, y en algunas ocasiones las escribí con profunda tristeza, queriendo reflejarme en ese niño imaginario e ideal: niño fuerte y amado, que entiende que Dios existe, y que sabe de sus dificultades, que lo ama y que además está a su lado para cuidarlo, protegerlo, y en el momento indicado explicarle el por qué las pruebas. Una técnica de autoayuda que descubrí entonces, fue que los momentos de adversidad las podía combatir reflejándome en ese niño imaginario, que fue sufrido, pero también fuerte, noble y capaz y que no se rinde ante la adversidad. Un niño imaginario e ideal, que no fue amado, y sin embargo, ese niño estaba dispuesto a amar incondicionalmente. En esas circunstancias es que fluyen de manera casi natural estos versos, vuelvo a repetir, escritas por adulto, reflejándose en un niño imaginario ideal que es fuerte y que finalmente va a salir victorioso de las pruebas.

Se reporta la implementación de una actividad con el uso de la herramienta Google Art & Culture con alumnos de primer semestre, del Sistema de Universidad Abierta, en la Licenciatura en Psicología, de la Facultad de Psicología de la UNAM. La actividad implicó la organización en dos fases: en la primera se utilizó la Unidad 3 correspondiente al Modelo Psicoanalítico, de la asignatura “Modelos en Psicología Clínica” para identificar las premisas, autores y conceptos. La segunda fase implicó el uso de Google Art & Culture para elegir imágenes, videos y notas periodísticas con la finalidad de representar e identificar los contenidos teóricos. La actividad se realizó durante los semestres 2017-1 y 2018-1 participando, de forma voluntaria, un total de 14 alumnos. Los resultados indican el uso de elementos visuales como fotografías y videos sugeridos de la galería del Freud Museum London y del Sigmund Freud Museum que permiten, a los estudiantes, identificar premisas y conceptos representativos del modelo psicoanalítico, como son: la fotografía de Sigmund Freud, la fotografía de Carl Jung, el estudio de Freud, el diván psicoanalítico de Freud y el Escritorio de Freud. Finalmente, esta experiencia permite conocer una herramienta para reforzar el aprendizaje de los alumnos y difundir nuevos estudios, con el apoyo de las TIC, a los contenidos curriculares para fomentar la investigación en el Sistema de Universidad Abierta.

Mother Archetype

The psychoanalysts enhance our understanding of our consciousness, the self and self-identity. Psychoanalytic theory plays an important role in the comprehension of the fundamental condition of selfhood. The self is not an unified entity in psychoanalytical terms. Human subject emerges as an outcrop of the unconscious desire. After Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, a swiss psychologist is considered as an eminent contributor to psychoanalysis who theorized the concept of collective unconscious. The purpose of my study is to find out the presence of the collective unconscious and to analyse two female characters, The Narrator , from the novel Heat and Dust and Geeta from Inside the Haveli with the help of Jung's theory of  collective unconscious and mother archetype. In this research paper several theoretical concepts of  Carl Jung are used to analyse the female characters. Jung’s theories are applied during the analysis process such as personal conscious, collective conscious and archetypes. I would use qualitative method for the analysis of the characters of the Narrator and  Geeta. I would use important dialogues and incidents for the data collection for the analysis of the characters. The psychoanalytic study of the Narrator and Geeta shows that they both have collective unconscious. I would study the function of mother archetype in the life of the Narrator and Geeta

Life-writing has been central to psychoanalysis, which created its own form of biographical narrative. The psychoanalytic case study draws upon the dreams and reminiscences of patients to reconstruct their stories. Psychoanalysis has also profoundly shaped autobiographical consciousness. While psychoanalytic theories and therapies have led to new ways of thinking and writing about the self, psychoanalytic thought also takes up much earlier models of the mind and identity. Through the works of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, among others, ‘Autobiography and psychoanalysis’ explains how psychoanalysis has been a shaping force on 20th-century autobiography. The model of the ‘inside out’ suggests an exploration of the autobiographer’s inner world, which is then turned outwards, through writing and towards a readership.

The purpose of this review article is to identify theories of Psychoanalysis by Sigmund Freud that play major roles in interpreting literary works. Psychoanalysis is among one of the modern theories used in literary analysis. Whether psychoanalysis has close connection with literature or not has been most controversial issues for many readers and least appreciated. In spite of being one of famous approach for interpreting literary text, it has become one of the mechanisms for interpreting hidden meaning of the text. The finding of this paper revealed Psychoanalysis is not simply branch of medicine, it has helped and is used to understand various fields as philosophy, culture, religion and first and for most used in literature. It also revealed that there is similarities and controversial issues between Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalytical criticism. Id, which is part of human personality playing a major role in forming literary work for its repressed behaviors, laid in unconscious mind. The human actions which are suppressed feelings because of superego and can be expressed with the help of Ego which balance the conflict between id and superego in the right time in form of dreams, art, literary work and slip of tongue.  Psychoanalysis approach is used to analyze piece of art by investigating closely the author and his/her life and literary work for providing evidence in analyzing, one or more of the character’s behavior and inspiration, the audience’ appealing and motivation to which react more closely or less unconsciously and the text for examining the role of language and symbolism in the work.
