On the Psychological Diagnosis of Criminal Offenses
Jung's early 1905 essay "On the psychological diagnosis of criminal offenses" which has sometimes been translated as "On the Psychological Diagnosis of the Facts" (Zur psychologischen Tatbestandsdiagnostik) is a window into the foundations of his Analytic Psychology and Therapeutic approach. This essay was first published in: Centralbl, f. Nervenheilk. u. Psychiat, XXVIN in 1905. This was also published in vol. 11 of Ges, Werke, "Die Studien zur Wortassoziation" published in 1905. This edition is a new translation from the original German manuscript with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. In the essay, Jung explored several cases where individuals, including artists and writers, unknowingly reproduced work they had previously encountered. He argued that the unconscious mind plays a crucial role in these occurrences, with past memories becoming "disguised" as new material due to their retrieval from the depths of the unconscious. This phenomenon has implications for creativity, suggesting that what appears to be spontaneous innovation can, in many cases, be influenced by forgotten memories. Jung's concept of cryptomnesia also ties into his later work on the collective unconscious, where shared human experiences and symbols might be unconsciously "borrowed" and felt as personal inspiration. In essence, cryptomnesia reveals how the boundaries between conscious originality and unconscious recall can blur, impacting creative and intellectual efforts. One of the most famous examples Jung uses is from the case of novelist Hellen Keller, who unknowingly replicated the plot of another author's work in one of her own stories. This concept has been influential in fields such as psychology, literature, and copyright law, highlighting the complexities of memory, creativity, and intellectual property
