Cultural Projection

While we are not all listening therapists perhaps there is something to learn from Freud and Jung. Already in the early 20th century Carl Jung was working with Freud and both stressed the importance of listening. Jung’s practice of listening was derived from Sigmund Freud who was his early mentor. Freud had a definite sense how to listen in therapy; Jung learned this lesson and more. Jung also lectured about how to listen in therapy, of how to be present and listen openly for what came up in a session. Jung did not have much use for theory beyond it use in some routine and uncomplicated neuroses—most patient’s cases being complex and unique—so effective listening was critical.
