In this brief essay, I reflect on three questions: What is 'faith' in a modern and post-modern cultural context? Do I, a Jungian analyst, have 'faith' or do I not? Does having 'faith' or not make a difference in the practice of analysis? I make reference to Jung's understanding of 'faith' and his frequent disclaimers about making metaphysical claims. I conclude that a post-credal 'faith' is possible for contemporary Jungian analysts, that I do have such a faith personally, and that in my experience this makes a significant difference in analytic practice at least with some patients. Traditional faith statements must be translated into depth psychological terms, however, in order for them to be applicable in post-modern, multicultural contexts.
在这篇短文中，我思考了三个问题：在现代和后现代文化背景下，“信仰”是什么？作为一名荣格派分析师，我有“信仰”还是没有？有无“信仰”在分析实践中会产生不同吗？我参考了荣格对“信仰”的理解以及他对作出形而上学论断的频繁否认。我得出结论，当代荣格派分析师有可能拥有一种后信条式的“信仰”，我个人确实有这样一种信仰，并且根据我的经验，这至少在对一些患者的分析实践中会产生显著差异。然而，传统的信仰声明必须转化为深度心理学术语，以便它们能适用于后现代、多元文化背景。
