La dimensione psichica

Rate this book
La concezione della dimensione psichica che la ricchissima opera di C. G. Jung propone, si fonda su una costante e reciproca verifica dei risultati che emergono dalla pratica psicoanalitica, dalle ricerche vastissime e innovatrici sulla storia del simbolismo, in particolare alchimistico e religioso, e dall'osservazione di aspetti collaterali alla realtà presente, scientifici, sociali, educativi e artistici. I testi qui raccolti presentano i capisaldi della visione junghiana sull'universo psichico: l'ipotesi dell'inconscio collettivo e le ricerche sulla sua struttura; l'affermazione della sostanziale interdipendenza dell'individuale e del collettivo, e quindi l'acuto e libero senso della storia che impone interesse e rispetto per le forme più diverse, anche aberranti, della realtà culturale; la rivendicazione della qualità terapeutica del sapere, senza la quale esso non è che conoscenza oziosa o viziosa, l'ipotesi della funzione trascendente come mediatrice, tramite il simbolo, tra le polarità conscia e inconscia, la concezione originalissima del sogno; l'estrema umanità richiesta alla reazione analitica e al trattamento delle deviazioni mentali, maggiori e minori; e così via. La raccolta permette di comprendere il disegno di una ricerca psicoanalitica e di un concezione del mondo aperte e moderne.

Carl Gustav Jung (/jʊŋ/; German: [ˈkarl ˈɡʊstaf jʊŋ]), often referred to as C. G. Jung, was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who founded analytical psychology. Jung proposed and developed the concepts of extraversion and introversion; archetypes, and the collective unconscious. His work has been influential in psychiatry and in the study of religion, philosophy, archeology, anthropology, literature, and related fields. He was a prolific writer, many of whose works were not published until after his death.

The central concept of analytical psychology is individuation—the psychological process of integrating the opposites, including the conscious with the unconscious, while still maintaining their relative autonomy. Jung considered individuation to be the central process of human development.

Jung created some of the best known psychological concepts, including the archetype, the collective unconscious, the complex, and synchronicity. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a popular psychometric instrument, has been developed from Jung's theory of psychological types.

Though he was a practising clinician and considered himself to be a scientist, much of his life's work was spent exploring tangential areas such as Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, and sociology, as well as literature and the arts. Jung's interest in philosophy and the occult led many to view him as a mystic, although his ambition was to be seen as a man of science. His influence on popular psychology, the "psychologization of religion", spirituality and the New Age movement has been immense.
