The end of analysis and the formation of the symbol

On the basis of two fundamental texts, “Analysis Terminable and Interminable,” by Freud, and “The Psychology of Transference,” by Jung, the author explores the effect of symbol formation in the course of the process of ending analysis. Symbol formation gives meaning to the end of the analytical relationship and the continuation of self-analysis using the transcendent function, conscious work on the relationship between conscious and unconscious forces.
