《女性心理的结构类型》——ToniWolff(23)

而中世纪的女巫不仅是男性投射和贪婪的受害者, 她们还代表着分裂的邪恶和她们时代不可接受的异端。
Our age with its manifold irrational interests offers the medial woman a good many possibilities of expression, e.g. graphology, astrology, chirology, etc. But these are arts or even professions and are unsuitable for those who have no special talent. Consequently it is still more imperative for the medial woman than for the other structural forms to become conscious of her characteristic psychology and to acquire discrimination, so "as to become a mediatrix instead of a mere medium. Instead of identifying herself and others with collective-unconscious contents--quite unrelated to reality --she ought to appreciate her medial faculty as an instrument and receptacle for the reception of these contents. But to achieve this she will have to find an adequate language. Medial women had a social function as seers, sibyls, medicine women or shamans in previous cultures--and still have nowadays with primitive peoples. Today, at least, we have the language of psychology in which the unconscious is an important and often vital factor whose inclusion into one"s life can not only have a healing effect, but may even lead to greater consciousness"and to being rooted meaningfully in the laws of the psyche. Mention may be made in this connection of Stewart White"s books on his wife Betty. It is true that Betty still expresses herself to a certain degree in the language of the spiritists, but as a human being she was an exceptionally vital person with a positive outlook on life, who lent herself only hesitatingly and with sound criticism to the messages from the unconscious. They are therefore easy to translate into the language of modern psychology .
