| Popis: | UNK Recently, some Jungian Analysts such as N. Schwartz-Salant and MJ. Spiegelman have explained the process of psychotherapy or analysis by the 'interactive field' model, in which the 'subtle body' experience plays a very important role. This paper outlines their theories and the definitions of the 'subtle body', comparing these with the three aspects of the body in Kundalini Yoga and Jung's explanation of the 'subtle body' as it appears in the texts of alchemy. According to the case examples by Schwartz-Salant and Spiegelman, there seems to be some ambiguity in the definition and necessity of the concept of 'subtle body'. The author points out three characteristics of Schwartz-Salant and Spiegelman's 'subtle body experience': (1) sharing an experience with body sensation or emotion, (2) experiencing some 'interactive field' (directly or indirectly), and (3) experiencing some kind of altered state of consciousness (not necessary, but very common). In conclusion, the author discusses the physical existence of the 'subtle body', and recommends that it should be dealt with not as a physical entity but as a phantasy of the therapeutic phenomenon. The author suggests that it is necessary to study more about such phantasies focusing upon their relativity to the individual therapist. |
