Jung: Reciprocal Influence
Stumbled on this scrap: Jung wrote that
For two personalities to meet is like two different chemical substances: if there is any combination at all, both are transformed. In any effective psychological treatment the doctor is bound to influence the patient; but this influence can only take place if the patient has a reciprocal influence on the doctor. You can exert no influence if you are not susceptible to influence.
(C.G. Jung, CW, vol. 16, para. 163)
This is close to describing Moreno’s tele with the emphasis on reciprocity, ie a flow both ways.

This is the relational paradigm in Jung, but as in so many psychotherapies it is thought of primarily in the therapeutic relationship. The obvious leap is to see that this reciprocity is present among people, in families, groups. The more significant the relationship the greater the power of transformation.
That there is a therapeutic quality in tele differentiates psychodrama from “individual therapy”.
More on this from Zerka.
See especially this post. It has the link to the section of Psychodrama Vol 1 that is relevant to this discussion.
Moreno’s Influence on Martin Buber’s Dialogical Philosophy
This is a great bit of history about Moreno & Buber. Just who influenced who is not so important, nor does the published material really prove anything. It is interesting research by Robert Waldl, put on the web by Adam Blatner, thanks!
Book: The Invisible Century: Einstein, Freud, and the Search for Hidden Universes by Richard Panek
Book: The Invisible Century: Einstein, Freud, and the Search for Hidden Universes by Richard Panek
I leafed through this book today. I like the theme, but I think the analogy of a story with two protagonists is taken a bit far. Still, looks like it could be fun. Might get it yet!
Some reviews follow.
Red Book video … and the book.
From Amazon: The Red Book The Red Book, where it gets good revies for content and presentation.
More about the Red Book – I have been following this a bit, so see “related posts”, and the tags.
Got this Video from Asheville Jung Center
I’d be interested in the seminar by Murry Stein, but I’ll be at a conference. Hope someone can record it!
Transference and Tele: Section I, Tele
This is the third post while doing a close reading of Moreno’s lecture on Tele, “given by the author during his European journey, May- June, 1954.”
Note: I continue to edit these posts, they are a work in progress for now, not really be good blogging practice. If anyone comments or there are track backs, I will not change what I wrote so conversations make sense.

Carkhuff – Core Conditions of counselling
I was steeped in this model of counselling for many years, first I was taught in the early ’80s by my supervisor, John Morrison, and then more formally in Social Work training. Still think it a useful approach. I like just seeing the list of these core conditions again.

Circus Archetypes – Tim Boucher
I’ve enjoyed a meander into Tim Boucher’s website this evening. He has a good sense of coex systems and patterns of the psyche.
CIRCUS CHARACTERS, History, Archetypes & Symbolism by Tim Boucher (Dead link)
Internet archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20100317104050/http://circuscharacters.org
The circus is a place where dreams and reality intersect, where the limits of human ability and perception are tested and surpassed. It is a place of escape from the everyday (to “run away and join the circus”), a place of spectacle & entertainment, and a proving ground for the human imagination. In this article, we’ll explore some of the primordial archetypal characters from the circus and carnival tradition, and connect them with pastiche of historical context and symbolic meaning.
