Facing the Other Self in Psychotherapy: Examination of Theoretical and Survey Research

心理療法において, クライエントは主訴や症状に始まり心理療法過程中に異質な自分が表れる体験等の, 自分にまつわる体験をすることがある。本論では"自分の揺らぎ"と定義し, その意義を論じることで, 心理療法のプロセスを検討することを目的とした。今回の研究では理論研究と調査研究の双方を検討したところ, 異質な自分が表れてくることは, 程度に差はあれども多くの人で見られることであり, 特にユング派心理療法ではイメージを表現する中で体験されやすい。その体験の中で出会う異質な自分を淘汰するのではなく, 認めて, 次の展開へと"弁証法的"な動きがなされることが重要であることが示唆された。事例検討からは, 最初異質な印象のあるイメージにクライエントが深くコミットし, 最終的に安定した様子の箱庭が作られた事例を取り上げた。異質なイメージと親和的なイメージを揺れ動くことで"弁証法的"な動きが生じ, 心の変容に繋がると考えられる。In psychotherapy, clients often experience themselves in various ways, such as when suffering from the symptoms of an illness, disorder, or complaints, or when experiencing themselves differently in expressing images. In this paper, the experiences are defined as "fluctuations of oneself"; in addition to discussing their significance, their role in the process of psychotherapy will also be examined. In this study, we performed both theoretical and survey research, and found that the other self is experienced by many people, although there are differences in degree, particularly appear by expressing images in Jungian psychotherapy. It is important not to eliminate the other self encountered, but to acknowledge the self and move "dialectical" to the next development. In one case study, the client came to identify deeply with an image with a heterogeneous impression at first, finally made a sandplay, which had the impression that it was stable. It is considered to lead to "dialectical movement" and psychological changes to waver between affinity images to heterogeneous images
