Here we would like to address the issue, often confused in the modern perception. Gestalt psychologist and researcher of the psychological meaning of fairy tales Rima Efimkina tend to focus on "psychological initiation" women, while the presence of her husband and children at times defines it as "formal signs". We do not share such a view of the author. We believe that the initiation of women, first of all, physiological and social, psychological reimagining of it is just figurative language that can create its own set of psychotherapeutic rituals. Understanding of the topic not bring transition, and a childless, unmarried woman to remain partly virgin, partly old, although it can enter the sphere of spiritual generativity. While married or having children a woman, for whatever reason, explain in a psychotherapy group, for example, that "does not feel like a woman", is rather the problem of social representations about what it is (in principle if there are no violations of the gender identity, the formation of which goes to a young child) than the "not successful activation" and "bad is not initiated by the mother." For example, the modern woman there was a need to "feel sexy" (previously, for many centuries, it was not a social requirement, moreover, very rare private wishes), and, nevertheless, to be forever young and beautiful is timeless also always welcome and demanded by men. But it's the problems of modern social requirements and their General inconsistency with the existing reality of the psychology and physiology of age, social niches, etc. Because we would not be a substitute for the conflict of personal ambitions and opportunities a lack of female initiation, even if considered high, psychological the key.
Primitive and traditional initiation always physiological and social, not psychological. It helps psychologically to cope with physiological and social changes, but its goal is not self-composure or human development, and the greatest adaptability to the society. Modern perception initiation, transition rituals and their modern modifications as a way to cope with internal conflicts, the intricacies of a rich mental world is deeply flawed. Often mixes the idea of initiation and understanding of the psychological separation of the adult of man in relation to his parents (which might not be in a traditional society!). Instead of studying individual neurotic breaks on the current stage of life, proposed a ritual imitation of escape from their parents. Retrocessional reflexive approach to the problem may be a convenient metaphor, but by no means is the reason and explanation for what is happening in the moment. Similarly, the appeal to the story of initiation, in particular the adoption of the adult girls in the women's community, see how we can help symbolic act and not as a direct solution to the problem.
