How does Jungian analysis work?
Analysis requires both intensity and regularity. Sessions may be held from once to four or more times per week. However frequency is not predetermined but is decided upon by the analyst and patient in accord with the unique requirements of each individual situation. In current practice it extends over a period of several years or longer. The focus of sessions may derive from patients experiences in their daily lives; their memories of the past; their feelings and reflections in response to such experiences, memories, or interactions with the analyst; and their dreams, or other spontaneous forms of expression. The strength of the relationship between analyst and patient plays a critical role in this process. Confidentiality and privacy are strictly maintained.
