Heimann, 1952, pp. 142–8). A further, empirical, psychoanalytic parallel to archetypal theory is to be found in Spitz’s studies of the first year of life. Spitz found that minimal stimuli produced predictable behaviour in very small infants. This led him to conclude that the internal life of the infant was structured by ‘innate organisers’ (1965). The production of smiles or fixed stares, stimulated by masks and dummies, has been cited by numerous Jungians as evidence for archetypes (Jacobi, 1959; Fordham, 1969a).
