English term

psychologem

English to Chinese Other Psychology Jung psychology
In Jung's "FLYING SAUCERS: A MODERN MYTH",p.378: ...the unmistakable tendency of the dream is the attempt to create a psychologem which we meet again and again in this and many other forms, regardless of whether the Ufos should be understood as concrete realities or as subjective phenomena.

心理情境

psychologem好像是一个德文词语,词根就是英文中的“心理学”,“心理学的”,“心理的”等。

根据这里的上下文,句子大意是“在梦中企图创造与UFO一次又一次以这种形式和多种其它形式相遇的psychologem”,我觉得这个psychologem似乎可以翻译为“心理情境”,供参考讨论

psychologem

If you want to have a clear understanding of the meaning of "psychologem", you have to understand Carl Jung's notions of "archtype" and "collective unconscious".

According to Jung, the psychologem is "an archetypal psychic structure of extreme antiquity". In his clearest manifestations, he is a faithful copy of an absolutely undifferentiated human consciousness, corresponding to a psyche that has hardly left animal level.

In other words, the psychologem is "the subjective presentation of different aspects of one's present identity". This idea has great relevance in Jung's notion of collective unconscious.

Collective unconscious: In Jungian psychology, a part of the unconscious mind, shared by a society, a people, or all humankind, that is the product of ancestral experience and contains such concepts as science, religion, and morality.

Should be:
In other words, the psychologem is "the subjective presentation of different aspects of one's present identity". This idea has great relevance to Jung's notion of collective unconscious.

So the psychologem involves some forms of personhood or personification that can be traced back to someone's collective unconscious.
Note from asker:
So this is a Jungian term closely related to the concept of archtype. I've chosen to translate it as "一种极为古老的原型结构”, thanks a lot for your help!
