“…If indeed the ‘medium is the message’ and these new technologies become more accepted and utilized, it becomes imperative to understand the effects of technologically‐mediated communication on the therapeutic couple. Just as Jung cried out for the importance of spirit in the world (see von Franz 1975), I would argue that technology is not devoid of spirit because it is of the times, but it must be used with, and through, a heavy dose of imagination – Le cri de imaginatio . Can we access reverie and associative dreaming, providing the prima materia for the analytic compass (Cwik 2011) in a technologically‐mediated relationship?…”

This paper contains reflections on the use of the imagination in technologically-mediated therapy and analysis. As part of the individuation process the psyche is seen as needing to adapt to new technological ways of communicating. The notion of a technologically-mediated self is posited describing a self which can only be apprehended through, and by, the use of telecommunications. This self is seen as identical to the in-person self, a subset, or superset of it. There is a revisioning of our notions of the container and the field in this work performed through technologicalmediation. The need to engage the imagination in approaching this kind of work is emphasized in order to create an imaginal play-space in which the body will be deeply affected. Some thoughts on how the process of individuation might look through such analytic work is presented.
