Theoretical and Conceptual Notes Concerning Transference and Countertransference Processes in Groups and by Groups, and the Social Unconscious: Part III

earlhopper{at}btinternet.com

In this article, I will define my concept of the social unconscious and specify several aspects of it, and compare this concept with the Jungian concept of the collective unconscious. I will focus on the constraints and restraints of the social unconscious on transference and countertransference processes by persons in groups (Part I, December, 2006) and by groups of persons (Part II, March, 2007). I will also discuss continuing resistance to the use of the `social unconscious' in clinical work.

Key Words: constraints of the social unconscious • cultural unconscious • collective unconscious • transference and countertransference processes in groups and by groups • Menenius Fallacy • spirituality
