摘要
个性化失败的标志是无法把不成熟的想法转换成一个能够良好运作的整体,从而未能形成自我,这些潜意识中的想法转而投射到了一些物体和人身上。在约翰克里尔的小说《追逐者》中,艾伦的灵魂(anima)和代表他心中的暗影(shadow)的老人进行了一场激烈的辩论。老人是艾伦暗影的投射,这种投射还进一步表现在"爱情药水"(love potion)和"灵魂清洁剂"(life cleaner)所折射出的艾伦对于婚姻不成熟的想法中。
Alan's inability of transferring immature idea into a well-functioning whole marks his failure of individualization, which leads to incompleteness of self-formation. Those subconscious ideas project on the objects and people. In John Collier's novel The Chaser, Alan's anima has a fierce discussion with the old man who resembles Alan's shadow. His anima projects on the old man as well as his immature ideas on marriage, and these processes are represented by objects like "love potion" and "life cleaner".
