JUNGIAN PSYCHOLOGY (TRANSPERSONAL CONTEXT)

  • View of Human Nature: Individuals seek wholeness by integrating conscious and unconscious aspects of the psyche, with a focus on personal and collective unconscious, archetypes, and the individuation process.

  • Cause of Problems: Disconnection from deeper aspects of the psyche, imbalance between conscious and unconscious, unresolved complexes, and lack of integration of archetypal energies.

  • Therapeutic Approach: Dream analysis, active imagination, working with symbols and archetypes, exploring spiritual or transpersonal experiences to promote individuation and personal growth.
