Erotic transference in a Jungian framework
In this lecture, Peggy Vermeesch proposes a Jungian reading of erotic transference, exploring its symbolic manifestations, its ethical stakes, and its potentially structuring role in the process of individuation.
The presentation was offered by the Jungian Salon in Geneva in February 2026. The paper is currently under review at the Journal of Analytical Psychology (JAP). An earlier exploratory version of this work was published under the title Holding the tension of the erotic transference: embodying Captain Picard in Star Trek’s “The Perfect Mate”.
At the end of the presentation (1:18:30), Claire Droin introduces Espace Francophone Jungien and Jungian Psychology Space (in French).
An interview with Martin Schmidt
Drawing on Jungian and psychoanalytic thought, Schmidt reflects on the concept of the Self, his work with psychotic patients, cultural complexes in Russia and China, the role of beauty, art, and the sublime, temporality, the breaking of the analytic frame, and eroticized trauma.
Conducted in English by Peggy Vermeesch, this interview is also available in written form, with the title Exploring paradox in the analytic process. (November 2025)
An interview with Susan Schwartz
Schwartz looks at the impact of unrequited love in daughters of an absent father and the common experience of feeling like a fraud. She also gives voice to misunderstood figures such as the Puella and Echo—archetypal aspects within us that carry the undervalued potential for depth, growth, and healing.
Conducted in English by Peggy Vermeesch, this interview is also available in written form, with the title Unrequited Love, Father Wound, and Fragility of Self. (May 2025)
Star Trek’s New Borg
Drawing on Neumann’s theories of the Old and New Ethic, Peggy Vermeesch explores the collective unconscious in its devouring and destructive shadow aspect, as illustrated by the Borg in Star Trek.
This paper was presented at the 2024 online IAJS conference Jung and Duality: Contemporary Thought and is also available as part of the article series Shadow and Evil in Star Trek.
