Description

This study was performed to consider the concept of "initiation" in clinical psychology. The concept of initiation, referring to rituals supporting someone to transfer from one status to another in their life, was introduced from anthropology. First, it was discussed from two perspectives based on 17 case studies. The first is Freud's perspective, which regards a client's symptom as a replay of primitive initiation rites. The other is Jung's perspective, which regards a series of images expressed in client's dreams or sandplay as the development of initiation. Second, focusing on the relationship between the client and therapist, it was suggested that unification of them in the case studies which discussed from the point of view of "initiation". Using the therapist's own experience of countertransference to understand their clients leads to initiation as a therapist. Finally, it was noted that overseas case studies should be covered as a limitation of this study.
