Introduction

Abstract

This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book introduces general questions of core competencies in psychotherapy and provides moments of its constellation in the psychotherapeutic process. It provides a comprehensive overview of the history and current structure of the Router program and explores avenues to improve the training offered. One of the basic themes in understanding core competencies in Jungian psychoanalysis is the analytic attitude. The chapter explores how recognition of, openness to and respect for moments of an experience of a spiritual nature belong to the core competencies in analytical practice: A spiritual dimension can also be sensed in the analyst’s attitude to the work, the opus magnum, in the spirit of letting be, of non-intentionality.
