Utilizing Jung's idea of theory as a 'personal confession', the author charts his own development as a theorist, establishing links between his personal history and his ideas. Such links include his relationship with both parents, his sexuality, his cultural heritage, and his fascination with Tricksters and with Hermes. There follows a substantial critical interrogation of what the author discerns as the two main lines of clinical theorizing in contemporary analytical psychotherapy: interpretation of transference-countertransference, and the relational approach. His conclusion is that neither is superior to the other and neither is in fact adequate as a basis for clinical work. The focus then shifts to explore a range of political and social aspects of the clinical project of analytical psychology: economic inequality, diversity within the professional field, and Jung's controversial ideas about Jews and Africans. The author calls for an apology from the 'Jungian community' for remarks about Africans analogous to the apology already issued for remarks about Jews. The paper is dedicated to the author's friend Fred Plaut (1913-2009).
作者运用荣格将理论视为“个人自白”的观点，梳理了自己作为一名理论家的发展历程，在其个人经历与思想之间建立起联系。这些联系包括他与父母双方的关系、他的性取向、他的文化传承，以及他对骗子和赫尔墨斯的着迷。接下来是对作者所认为的当代分析心理治疗中两条主要临床理论路线的深入批判性审视：移情 - 反移情的诠释以及关系取向。他的结论是，两者并无优劣之分，事实上，任何一方都不足以作为临床工作的基础。随后，焦点转向探索分析心理学临床项目的一系列政治和社会层面：经济不平等、专业领域内的多样性，以及荣格关于犹太人和非洲人的有争议观点。作者呼吁“荣格学派团体”就其关于非洲人的言论进行道歉，就如同已经为关于犹太人的言论所做出的道歉一样。本文献给作者的朋友弗雷德·普劳特（1913 - 2009）。
