spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/13491 The written psychodynamic formulation in a Jungian framework Mitchell, Colin Swartz, Sally Anderson, Rod Clinical Psychology Bibliography: leaves 67-71. The present thesis has two main aims. The first of these is to examine the reasons behind the author's finding during his training for the MA (Clinical Psychology) degree that there is a tendency in the Jungian literature for analytical psychology to be presented in a way which is distanced from the practical realities of the clinical situation. This examination is conducted through an appraisal of the Jungian literature and several clear, substantial reasons are revealed. The second aim has two parts to it. The first part is to attempt to justify using Jungian theory in the diagnostic and assessment context of clinical work. This is done by showing that two models, the individuation and medical models, both exist in analytical psychology but that the medical model has been under-emphasized. Following this, the psychodynamic formulation is situated in the context of clinical psychology in order to show its relationship to the diagnostic and assessment context of clinical work. The second part is to attempt to partly fill the gap in the Jungian literature through providing a format for the psychodynamic formulation in a Jungian framework and to show how the Jungian psychodynamic formulation informs management planning, with particular emphasis being placed on the assessment of patients for psychotherapy. This is done through providing provisional guidelines for the construction and use of the psychodynamic formulation in a Jungian framework in the context of a training programme such as the one the author has been in. Finally, a brief comment is included about a contrast which the author sees between the thesis of pluralism and his own views on the theoretical diversity that is employed in the present thesis. 2015-07-14T08:56:49Z 2015-07-14T08:56:49Z 1992 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13491 eng application/pdf Department of Psychology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
