METAPHOR / SIMILE § “At its most profound, the meaning of human life is carried in metaphor. ” Ø “For few of us are the metaphors we live by explicit; we do not usually have any conscious awareness of living out anything beyond what seems to be our literal experience. Yet ultimately, it is the metaphorical sense we make of our living that gives the journey its direction, its sense of progression or development, its turning points, changes and passages, the meaning of its beginning and its end. (Salmon, 1985)” (Sugarman, 2004: 5) § Your metaphors? 2019 Dr Caryl Sibbett 3

JUNG: Course of the Sun? § “Our life is like the course of the sun. In the morning it gains continually in strength until it reaches the zenith-heat of high noon. Then comes the enantiodromia: the steady forward movement no longer denotes an increase, but a decrease, in strength. ” § “Thus our task in handling a young person is different from the task of handling an older person. In the former case, it is enough to clear away all the obstacles that hinder expansion and ascent; in the latter, we must nurture everything that assists the descent. ” (Jung, 1912/1992: 114; and partly cited in Walker, 2002: 44) 2019 Dr Caryl Sibbett 5

Course of the Sun? § “The one hundred and eighty degrees of the arc of § § life are divisible into four parts. ” “The first quarter, lying in the east, is childhood that state in which we are a problem for others, but are not yet conscious of any problems of our own. ” “Conscious problems fill out the second and third quarters; ” “while in the last - in extreme old age - we descend again into that condition where, unworried by our state of consciousness, we again become something of a problem for others. ” “Childhood and extreme old age, to be sure, are utterly different, and yet they have one thing in common: submersion in unconscious psychic happenings. ” (Jung, 2001: 116) 2019 Dr Caryl Sibbett 7
JUNG: TREE? Family tree… “An image which frequently appears among the archetypal configurations of the unconscious is that of the tree or the wonder-working plant. ” (Jung, 1981, CW 13, para. 304) Yggdrasil 2019 Dr Caryl Sibbett 8
JUNG: TREE? “When these fantasy products are drawn or painted, they very often fall into symmetrical patterns that take the form of a mandala. If a mandala may be described as a symbol of the self seen in cross section, then the tree would represent a profile view of it: the self depicted as a process of growth. ” (Jung, 1981, CW 13, para. 304) 2019 Dr Caryl 2011 Dr Sibbett C.

LIFE COURSE PHASES? § “If you were to divide the life course into a § § series of stages: Where would you place the boundaries between stages? What would mark the boundaries between different stages? What would you call each stage? What are the key features of each stage in terms of: – main tasks and priorities for the individual; – societal expectations; – major roles? ” (Sugarman, 2004: 23) 2019 Dr Caryl Sibbett 11

regression in the service of the ego Ernst Kris § “As the ego regressed, Kris argued, it could find direct access to id energies for its own purposes. Kris felt that such regression in the service of the ego was especially evident when an artist made a cultural product” (Friedman, 1999, p. 94) Ø Erikson: “I began to perceive how important visual configurations were, how they actually preceded words and formulations: certainly dreams are visual data, and so is children’s play, not to speak of ‘free associations’ which are often a series of images, pure and simple- only later put into words. ” Dr Caryl Sibbett, Kairos Consultancy (c) 2019 (Coles, 1970, p. 23) 15

§ Art therapy life review with elderly woman (Ravid-Horesh, 2004) § Life story § Life map Dr Caryl Sibbett, Kairos Consultancy (c) 2019 29
“The Life Cycle of Images” (Hinz, 2013) the Ethical Treatment of the Art Therapy Image § “A developmental view of images encourages art therapists to see art images as living entities that undergo a natural life cycle. The birth process adds meaning to the image and encourages the careful tending of images newly born. An “adolescent” image might challenge its creator, whereas images in “middle age” or later may be revisited to offer new perspectives. A developmental view of images supports the integration of meaning derived from all stages of the life span. ” (Hinz, 2013: 46). 2019 Dr Caryl Sibbett 31
“The Life Cycle of Images” (Hinz, 2013) § § § “Labor and Birth of Images: Process and Product. ” Infant Images: Careful Tending Images at Adolescence: Challenging Changelings Images at Middle Age: Messengers of Integration Elder Images: Integrity and Inspiration” (Hinz, 2013) § “As art therapists I believe that our ethical approach can be more proactive and positive, encouraging reverence for images as ‘living, ensouled entities, ’ as proposed by Moon (2006, p. 58). ” (Hinz, 2013: 46) 2019 Dr Caryl Sibbett 32
§ “Moon’s (2006) emphasis on images as living things was in part a caution to art therapists to avoid reducing images to simple sign–symptom pictographs for interpretation. Such a reductionist view promotes what Moon called imagicide in reference to the tendency of interpreters to settle on one fixed meaning—often unaware of their own projections—while killing other potential meanings. Too often the assigned significance of an art image is equated with psychopathology. This practice not only kills alternate views of the image but also destroys the potential for perceiving client strengths as well as the ability to learn and grow from the innate wisdom contained in the image. A more ethical treatment of images would embrace a dialogue among client, therapist, and artwork (Moon, 2006). ” (Hinz, 2013: 46) 2019 Dr Caryl Sibbett 33
MARCIA: Identity Status § Marcia (1966, 1980, 1994, 2002) explored identity development; suggested a person could develop one of 4 ego-identity statuses: 1. Identity achievement – “those who made their own choices”. (Marcia, 1984: 22) 2. Identity foreclosure – “those who had merely followed parental dictates”. (Marcia, 1984: 22) 3. Identity diffusion – those who were floundering and unconcerned. 4. Identity moratorium – those who were struggling and concerned. § Based on original initial study of 20 male 34 college students.

§ Existential psychotherapy: Ø Ø “existential phenomenology also stresses that the very possibility of unique expressions and experiences of being and reflections upon being arise from an over-arching set of universal ‘givens’…” (Spinelli, 2007: 10) “A useful analogy here might be that of ‘the snowflake’. Each snowflake, it would appear, is entirely unique… At the same time, however… Each unique snowflake is also a universal snowflake in that it contains and exhibits all the necessary invariants required in order ‘to be’ a snowflake. ” (Spinelli, 2007: 10) § Principles of equity and equality? 2019 Dr Caryl Sibbett 41
