Аннотация: The present manuscript proposes an extension of the psychoanalytical method catathymic imagery (also guided affective imagery) based upon Boeschian Cultural Psychology for the organizational domain. Employees need to appropriate their job-related environment in a meaningful way. However, this endeavor is often more complex than it Показать полностьюseems. Regularly, employees introject foreign goals and needs within their Self and appropriate their job-related action field in a foreign manner. This leads to repressed personal needs and goals which is called the amorphian inner in Boeschian Cultural Psychology. Yet, this amorphian inner is often a vague feeling or a shadowy intuition, and employees have a hard time to structure it, accordingly. It is in this regard that I propose the FOCI method—the fully objectified catathymic imagery. Here, practitioner and psychologist negotiate the meaning of a painting for instance while being able to rely on visual and acoustic stimuli for that negotiation—in contrast to catathymic imagery where the acoustic focus is pre-dominant. I instance the FOCI method by an autoethnography and show how the method could help people to make a shadowy intuition structured and differentiated which encourages them afterwards to re-appropriate their job-related environment in a personally meaningful way. Questions remain whether FOCI outperforms simple catathymic imagery.
