Number Fourteen Carolyn and Ernest Fay Series in Analytical Psychology David H. Rosen, General Editor The Carolyn and Ernest Fay edited book series, based initially on the annual Fay Lecture Series in Analytical Psychology, was established to further the ideas of C. G. Jung among students, faculty, therapists, and other citizens and to enhance scholarly activities related to analytical psychology. The Book Series and Lecture Series address topics of im- portance to the individual and to society. Both series were generously endowed by Carolyn Grant Fay, the founding president of the C. G. Jung Educational Center in Houston, Texas. The series are in part a memorial to her late husband, Ernest Bel Fay. Carolyn Fay has plant- ed a Jungian tree carrying both her name and that of her late hus- band, which will bear fruitful ideas and stimulate creative works from this time forward. Texas A&M University and all those who come in contact with the growing Fay Jungian tree are extremely grateful to Carolyn Grant Fay for what she has done. The holder of the McMillan Professorship in Analytical Psychology at Texas A&M functions as the general editor of the Fay Book Series.

G. Jung Jan Wiener has written a scholarly, creative, and integrative volume that acknowledges the imponderable but focuses on the perceptible factors in the therapeutic relationship. She explores the significance of the processes of transference and countertransference for the ther- apeutic relationship. She also gives careful consideration to multiple aspects involved in transference and countertransference, as well as the way in which they contribute to the making of meaning in the healing relationship of therapy and analysis. Her book involves unusual depth (symbols from archetypal dreams and myths) and breadth (relational moments of purpose and significance) in examining transference and countertransference. A member of the Society of Analytical Psychol- ogy (SAP) in London, Jan Wiener sheds light on transference and countertransference in historical and developmental ways. In addi- tion, she investigates areas in which what we know about transference and countertransference in the field of analytical psychology dovetails well with psychoanalysis and other areas in which it does not. For- tunately, her muse also takes her to both old and new frontiers from Jung’s alchemical approach to neurobiology and therefore makes this text beneficial to a wide range of analytic and therapeutic perspec- tives. In other words, a member of the SAP, other Jungian analytic
