RESUMO
A pesquisa em psicologia analítica está ancorada no paradigma da subjetividade. A reflexão proposta aborda o processo de construção do conhecimento de acordo com a perspectiva epistemológica que considera a transformação concomitante do pesquisador e do objeto investigado. O percurso adotado parte da noção de equação pessoal, por meio da qual Jung considerou diferentes tipos e modos de conhecer que são inerentes à prática e investigação psicológica. Recorre-se nesta reflexão a autores pós-junguianos que propuseram um paralelo entre a produção do conhecimento científico e o processo de individuação, reconhecendo que a pesquisa e a produção do conhecimento estão atreladas a uma perspectiva ética que considera a subjetividade do pesquisador. A pesquisa em psicologia analítica há de se pautar na premissa de responder ao desenvolvimento em prol da completude e da dignidade humana, inserindo-se a ética como fator central no processo de pesquisar, essencial à atualidade. ■
Research in Analytical Psychology is anchored in the subjectivity paradigm. The proposed reflection addresses the process of knowledge construction according to the epistemological perspective that considers the concomitant transformation of the researcher and the object investigated. The adopted path starts from the notion of personal equation, whereby Jung considered different types and ways of knowing that are inherent to psychological research and practice. This reflection rests upon post-Jungian authors who proposed a parallel between the production of scientific knowledge and the individuation process, acknowledging that research and knowledge production are linked to an ethical perspective that takes into consideration the researcher's subjectivity. Research in Analytical Psychology must be based on the premise of responding to the development in favor of wholeness and human dignity, with ethics as a central factor in the research process, essential to the present-day. ■

RESUMO
Jung's idea of the 'personal equation' amounts to the reflection that theoretical differences between the psychologies that people teach are rooted in their personalities, in other words, that they are due to the psychology each one 'has'. This concept also applies to different interpretations of Jung's work. The serious difficulties that Mark Saban has with my psychology are a case in point. Recourse to the concept of the personal equation reveals that Saban has his Jung and I have mine. With his insistence on his Talmudic methodological principle of dream interpretation, that 'the dream is its own interpretation', according to Saban Jung means nothing but a rejection of Freudian free association. My Jung goes far beyond that. Jung understands this methodological principle above all in terms of what he calls 'circumambulation'. The main part of this paper is devoted to an elucidation of what circumambulation involves as a mode of dream interpretation. The paper concludes with the distinction Jung himself introduced between two types of reading of his work, either as 'paper' and 'dead nostrums' or as 'fire and wind', and pleads for a reconstruction of Jung's psychology as a whole in terms of his most advanced, deepest insights, instead of a dogmatic reading mainly based on the early Jung, a reading for which his later revolutionary insights are at best negligible embellishments.
