This paper explores how we can make our own mythological version of 'Jung' say whatever we want. Excessive veneration gets in the way of his theories being allowed to stand on their own. Understanding 'Jung' as a mythologem provides a way out of this intoxication with identification by letting us recollect and re-connect to the Collective Unconscious.

This paper describes observations and experiences gathered whilst conducting group therapy with trainees in analytical psychology in Poland. The challenges and conflicts around language and translation reflect challenges common to analysis everywhere: accuracy of interpretation, agreements on permission to interpret and the acceptability of interpretation. The way in which archetypal patterns developed and matured suggests this approach to work with trainees may have wider application.
