TL;DR: In this article, the archetypal world of anima and animus is described as a bridge that carries us from the familiar territory of the ego into the mysterious country of the Self, and the Ulanovs' keen observations paint pictures of this crucial bridge complex at moments when it gloriously connects separated shores of human existence, and when its snarled traffic creates all manner of accidents.
Abstract: Ann and Barry Ulanov's Transforming Sexuality: The Archetypal World of Anima and Animus is a much needed book which will help students and professionals alike navigate the treacherous waters of Jung's seminal ideas of anima and animus. As the Ulanovs point out, Jung himself recognized that these ideas were "irrational and clumsy" (p. 1), and many since Jung's day, from the amateur to the astute, have found it difficult to use these ideas without running aground on sexual stereotypes or insulting generalizations about gender. Fully cognizant of these dangers, the authors manage to illuminate both the theory and practical applications of these archetypal motifs without slipping into simplistic stereotyping or reducing the complexities to essentialist generalizations. The Ulanovs remind us that Junks language for describing the psyche was one of images, and they employ a wealth of images to bring the otherwise abstract concepts of anima and animus to life. Their central image is that of a bridge. The anima-animus complex is a bridge that carries us from the familiar territory of the ego into the mysterious country of the Self. If this complex is well-integrated, we barely take note of it, for like a bridge we take in our everyday commuting, it serves us as an unnoticed bearer of traffic between the ego and Self sides of our psyches. But when our contrasexual side is not so well-integrated, then like a bridge with only one lane open--or worse yet, completely shut down because some piece of the span is missing--we find the energy of the Self backing up and unable to cross over so as to renew the life of the ego. The Ulanovs' keen observations paint pictures for us of this crucial bridge complex at moments when it gloriously connects separated shores of human existence, and when its snarled traffic creates all manner of accidents. Jung maintained, and the Ulanovs agree, that the anima-animus complex serves the psyche in a compensatory fashion, balancing and opening up the ego's conscious viewpoint to new possibilities. For example, if a man possesses a "heavy mien [and] dense conscious attitude" that is "serious and responsible," then his anima may well appear to him in dreams through "elusive e r o t i c . . , figures" who tease and arouse (p. 24).

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between religion and depth psychology is explored and the authors demonstrate how to combine religion and psychology in order to provide more effective counseling in the area of pastoral counseling.
Abstract: In Religion and the Unconscious, Ann and Barry Ulanov provide a thoughtful study of the relationship between religion and depth psychology. An insightful contribution to the entire area of pastoral counseling, this book demonstrates how to combine religion and depth psychology in order to provide more effective counseling.

TL;DR: The authors provided a detailed discussion about five qualitative approaches (i.e., narrative research, case study research, grounded theory, phenomenology, and participatory action research) as alternative qualitative procedures useful in understanding test interpretation.
Abstract: Counseling psychologists face many approaches from which to choose when they conduct a qualitative research study. This article focuses on the processes of selecting, contrasting, and implementing five different qualitative approaches. Based on an extended example related to test interpretation by counselors, clients, and communities, this article provides a detailed discussion about five qualitative approaches— narrative research; case study research; grounded theory; phenomenology; and participatory action research—as alternative qualitative procedures useful in understanding test interpretation. For each approach, the authors offer perspectives about historical origins, definition, variants, and the procedures of research.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss common conceptions of interviews as dialogues and the extensive application of qualitative research interviews in a consumer society, highlighting power asymmetries in interview relationships.
Abstract: The article discusses common conceptions of interviews as dialogues and the extensive application of qualitative research interviews in a consumer society. In the first part, an understanding of research interviews as warm, caring, and empowering dialogues is questioned by highlighting power asymmetries in interview relationships. Agonistic interview techniques, which play on contradictions and power differences, are outlined. The second part of the article points to the prevalence of dialogues as exercises of power in politics, management, and education. The third part outlines the interview production of knowledge for consumption in a postmodern society. The article concludes that recognition of power dynamics by the social construction of knowledge in interviews is necessary to ascertain objectivity and ethicality of interview research.

TL;DR: Stahl's design studies concentrate on mechanisms to support group formation, multiple interpretive perspectives and the negotiation of group knowledge in applications as varied as collaborative curriculum development by teachers, writing summaries by students, and designing space voyages by NASA engineers as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Innovative uses of global and local networks of linked computers make new ways of collaborative working, learning, and acting possible. In Group Cognition Gerry Stahl explores the technological and social reconfigurations that are needed to achieve computer-supported collaborative knowledge building--group cognition that transcends the limits of individual cognition. Computers can provide active media for social group cognition where ideas grow through the interactions within groups of people; software functionality can manage group discourse that results in shared understandings, new meanings, and collaborative learning. Stahl offers software design prototypes, analyzes empirical instances of collaboration, and elaborates a theory of collaboration that takes the group, rather than the individual, as the unit of analysis.Stahl's design studies concentrate on mechanisms to support group formation, multiple interpretive perspectives, and the negotiation of group knowledge in applications as varied as collaborative curriculum development by teachers, writing summaries by students, and designing space voyages by NASA engineers. His empirical analysis shows how, in small-group collaborations, the group constructs intersubjective knowledge that emerges from and appears in the discourse itself. This discovery of group meaning becomes the springboard for Stahl's outline of a social theory of collaborative knowing. Stahl also discusses such related issues as the distinction between meaning making at the group level and interpretation at the individual level, appropriate research methodology, philosophical directions for group cognition theory, and suggestions for further empirical work.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine six particular areas of contention in the spirit of fostering dialogue, and promoting openness and clarity in phenomenological inquiry, and examine each of these areas of controversy.
Abstract: Phenomenological researchers generally agree that our central concern is to return to embodied, experiential meanings aiming for a fresh, complex, rich description of a phenomenon as it is concretely lived. Yet debates abound when it comes to deciding how best to carry out this phenomenological research in practice. Confusion about how to conduct appropriate phenomenological research makes our field difficult for novices to access. Six particular questions are contested: (1) How tightly or loosely should we define what counts as “phenomenology”? (2) Should we always aim to produce a general (normative) description of the phenomenon, or is idiographic analysis a legitimate aim? (3) To what extent should interpretation be involved in our descriptions? (4) Should we set aside or bring to the foreground researcher subjectivity? (5) Should phenomenology be more science than art? (6) Is phenomenology a modernist or postmodernist project, or neither? In this paper, I examine each of these areas of contention in the spirit of fostering dialogue, and promoting openness and clarity in phenomenological inquiry.
