About the author
C.G. Jung
1,875 books11.5k followersCarl 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.

كارل غوستاف يونغ هو عالم نفس بارز قدم مساهمات كبيرة في فهم تطور الشخصية وعلم نفس الطفل. نظرياته تركز على اللاوعي الجمعي والأركيتايب والعمليات النفسية التي تشكل الشخصية. يرى يونغ أن تطور الذات هو عملية مستمرة تبدأ في الطفولة وتستمر طوال الحياة، حيث يمر الفرد بمراحل مختلفة من النمو والتطور النفسي.
الأهل يلعبون دورًا هامًا في تشكيل شخصية الطفل من خلال توفير الحب والرعاية والحدود، مما يساهم في بناء الثقة بالنفس والاستقرار العاطفي. كما أن اللعب يلعب دورًا هامًا في تطور الطفل، حيث يمكنه من خلاله استكشاف العالم وتعلم المهارات الاجتماعية والتعامل مع الآخرين.
يونغ يؤكد على أهمية فهم اللاوعي الجمعي والأركيتايب في تشكيل الشخصية، حيث أن هذه العناصر تلعب دورًا هامًا في تشكيل سلوك الفرد وفهمه للعالم. كما أن العمليات النفسية المختلفة، مثل التفكير والشعور والإحساس والحدس، تلعب دورًا هامًا في تشكيل الشخصية وتحديد سلوك الفرد.
علم نفس الطفل عند يونغ:
- تطور الذات: يرى يونغ أن تطور الذات هو عملية مستمرة تبدأ في الطفولة وتستمر طوال الحياة.
- دور الأهل: يعتقد يونغ أن الأهل يلعبون دورًا هامًا في تشكيل شخصية الطفل، من خلال توفير الحب والرعاية والحدود.
- أهمية اللعب: يرى يونغ أن اللعب هو جزء هام من تطور الطفل، حيث يمكنه من خلاله استكشاف العالم وتعلم المهارات الاجتماعية.
تأثير يونغ على علم النفس الحديث:
- العلاج النفسي: يونغ كان أحد رواد العلاج النفسي، وقد طور أساليب علاجية تركز على استكشاف اللاوعي والعمل على تحقيق الذات.
- علم النفس التحليلي: يونغ هو مؤسس علم النفس التحليلي، الذي يركز على فهم اللاوعي الجمعي والأركيتايب ودورها في تشكيل الشخصية.
نظريات يونغ لا تزال تؤثر على علم النفس الحديث وتطبيقاته العلاجية، حيث يتم استخدامها لفهم السلوك البشري وتحسين العلاقات الإنسانية. يونغ يعتبر أحد أهم الشخصيات في تاريخ علم النفس، وتأثيره لا يزال واضحًا في العديد من المجالات النفسية والعلاجية.

Bazen mesleğim/alanım psikoloji ya da felsefe olsaydı bu kadar keyifle okur muydum bu kitapları çok merak ediyorum...
Jung okumayı hep çok sevmişimdir. Bu kitabında her ne kadar başlığı bize direk bu tür bir ipucu vermese de çocuklar ve çocukluk üzerinden büyüme, gelişim konularını ele alıyor. Ebeveynlerin çocuk üzerinde oluşturdukları tüm çatışmaların bu gelişime katkısı büyük. Evlilik ilişkisinin ise açmazlarının en çok etki altında kalanı yine çocuklar. Üstelik tüm bunlar sadece farkında olmak üzerinden çözülebilecek şeyler...

تطور الشخصية علم نفس الطفل
كارل يونغ
يأتي كتاب تطور الشخصية علم نفس الطفل لكارل يونغ ضمن سلسلة مشروعه الخاص في علم النفس التحليلي ، وفي هذا الكتاب يستعرض آراءه وهي عبارة عن محاضرات ألقاها في أماكن متعددة تتعلق بالنفس الانسانية في تكوينها الغرائبي ، فكارل يختلف في نظرته لهذا العلم عن ما سبقوه ومن أتي بعده ، ومع انه من مدرسة فرويد في التحليل النفسي الا انه مايز فكره عن فرويد فلم يتصلّد عند نتاج فرويد كما فعل الفرويديون حينما أقصو الجوانب الروحية وبعد الغيبي عن النفسي وتمحورو حول العامل الجنسي في تفسير الإضطرابات النفسية ، لذلك نجد كارل ينظر الى بناء الشخصية وتطورها يبدأ من فهم هذا التنوع النفسي في الانسان وان هناك ابعاد مختلفة تساهم في تكوينه من أهمها الوالدين فجميع الإضطرابات النفسية عند الأطفال أساسها وعمقها الوالدين فإذا أردت معالجة هذه الإضطرابات لابد من معالجة الوالدين قبل ، كذلك بناء الشخصية وتطورها يعتمد اعتمادا يكاد يكون كليا على شخصية الوالدين ، وقد عالج كارل حالات كثيرة للأطفال المصابين بالاضطرابات النفسية عبر تقنيات التحليل النفسي وعبر البوابة الملكية لللاوعي الإنساني وهي الأحلام التي اعتبرها منفذ للعلاج لان الحلم يحاكي الوعي وأوقات يعكس اللاوعي وهو جزء ضروري لمعرفة تاريخ والاحداث التي مر بها المريض ، وعلى ذلك كان تعمقه في مبحث الوعي واللاوعي عند الانسان والتي هي من اكتشافات فرويد ، ويشترك في بناء الشخصية ايضا المعلم لما له من تأثير على نفسية الطالب وعليه لابد ان يكون المعلم دائم التعليم غير منقطع فالحياة بكل صعوباتها وتطورها في المجال التعليمي والتربوي تستلزم هذا التعمق حتى يستطيع المعلم مواكبة العصر في تطوير شخصية الطلاب وتعامله مع الطلاب الموهوبين لابد ان ينطلق من وعي شامل بهذه الفئة التي تحتاج الى الدمج مع جميع الفئات وليس الفصل كما هو معمول به في المدارس ، لان هذه الفئة برغم موهبتها وتميزها عن الآخرين لابد ان تدرك الجوانب الأخرى في الحياة .

This book is a good introduction into Jung's philosophy and his own therapy, the analytical psychology.
Although this book was supposed to be about the "birth" and "gain" of personality into the human spirit, not all the chapters are actually about this, but those who really talk about personality are quite interesting.
This is not bad after all because apart from that, Jung talks about his view on dreams "reading" and he explains why he doesn't agree with Freud in his "sexual" interpretations. This way he teaches us to be able to see the whole picture when it comes to analyze individuals and their behavior and not to search for all the tiny details like Freud does.

This has a lot of great information on child development to which we should still be paying attention--and a few really outdated ideas as well, especially on homosexuality. I was impressed, though, with his take on talent and genius, and how sometimes it takes years before these talents really manifest themselves. He also advocated NOT exposing all children to advanced math, but teaching some logic through other means. In our test-driven, one-size-fits-all school environment these days, his ideas are well worth heeding.

There is nothing particularly new, interesting or provocative about this collection of both published and unpublished essays having to do with developmental psychology. The central idea of Jung's developmental psychology is that of what he termed "individuation", a concept best explicated, I think, by his book Psychological Types (Collected Works 6).

Carl Gustav Jung'un çeşitli vesilelerle, çocukta kişiliğin oluşumu; birey olma; evliliklerin birey ve çocuklar üzerindeki etkisi üzerine yazdığı makalelerden ya da yaptığı konuşmalardan derlenmiş bir kitap.
Carl Gustav Jung özetle; çocuğun, ebeveyninin psikolojik atmosferinin büyük bir parçası olduğunu ve ebeveynler arasındaki saklı ve çözülmemiş problemlerin zehirli bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ve çocuğun sağlığını derinlemesine etkilediğini söylüyor. Hatta beni çok etkileyen şöyle bir cümlesi var ki buraya not etmek isterim:
"Havada asılı kalan ve çocuk tarafından belli belirsiz hissedilen şeyler, korku ve önsezinin bunaltıcı atmosferi, tüm bunlar zehirli bir buhar gibi çocuğun ruhuna yavaşça sızar."
Ben kendi payıma düşeni aldım; epeyce altı çizili cümlem ve aldığım notum oldu.

Excellent collection of seminars and Jung's thoughts on personality formation.
The book presents thoughts from the education of children to issues such as the influences of educators, educational methods and especially the relationships of parents and the influence of the unconscious of the father, the mother and the relationship of the parents on the children.
The book also points out the influence of archetypes, the development of the parents' psyche with the presence of the children.
Some passages are quite critical and blunt, such as the fact that unconsciousness produces a lack of differentiation or unconscious identity; the coercion and security of the collective; and the projection that parents make in their children about the hopes and mistakes they made in the past, without letting the child grow and develop by discovering who he really is.
Jung exemplifies situations and theories with cases of patients, dreams and mythology.
“Conventions are in themselves mechanisms without a soul, which can cover nothing more than the routine of life. Creative life is always above convention .... the mechanism of conventions keeps people unconscious, because then they can, like wild animals, make long-known changes without having to make a conscious decision ... just like with animals, among people who are kept unconscious by routine, panic can also arise with all the unpredictable consequences if the new circumstances do not seem foreseen by the old conventions ”

Excelente coletânea de seminários e pensamentos de Jung sobre a formação da personalidade.
O livro apresenta pensamentos desde a educação das crianças até questões como as influências de educadores, métodos educacionais e principalmente as relações dos pais e a influência do inconsciente do pai, da mãe e do relacionamento dos pais nos filhos.
O livro também aponta a influência dos arquétipos, o desenvolvimento da psiquê dos pais com a presença dos filhos.
Alguns trechos são bastante críticos e contundentes, como o fato da inconsciência produzir a falta de diferenciamento ou identidade inconsciente; a coerção e segurança do coletivo; e a projeção que os pais fazem nos filhos sobre as esperanças e erros que cometeram no passado, sem deixar a criança crescer e desenvolver-se descobrindo quem ela realmente é.
Jung exemplifica situações e teorias com casos de pacientes, sonhos e mitologia.
“As convenções são em si mesmas mecanismos sem alma, que nada mais podem abranger do que a rotina da vida. A vida criadora fica sempre acima da convenção....o mecanismo das convenções conserva as pessoas inconscientes, pois então podem, à semelhança de animais selvagens, fazer mudanças há muito conhecidas sem ser preciso tomar uma decisão consciente...tal como acontece com os animais, entre as pessoas que são mantidos inconscientes pela rotina também pode surgir o pânico com todas as consequências imprevisíveis se as novas circunstâncias não parecerem previstas pelas antigas convenções”

"It is important that the teacher should be conscious of the role he is playing. He must not be satisfied with merely pounding the curriculum into the child; he must also influence him through his personality. This latter function is at least as important as the actual teaching, if not more so in certain cases. Though it is a misfortune for a child to have no parents, it is equally dangerous for him to be too closely bound to his family. An excessively strong attachment to the parents is a severe handicap in his later adaptation to the world, for a growing human being is not destined to remain forever the child of his parents. There are, unfortunately, many parents who keep their children infantile because they themselves do not wish to grow old and give up their parental authority and power. In this way they exercise an extremely bad influence over their children, since they deprive them of every opportunity for individual responsibility. These disastrous methods of upbringing result either in dependent personalities, or in men and women who can achieve their independence only by furtive means. There are other parents, again, who on account of their own weaknesses are not in a position to meet the child with the authority it needs if it is to take its proper place in the world."

We’ve been warned, politely yet firmly: the true cause of children not properly developing their personality in wholesome and fulfilling ways come down to the adults in their lives, typically parents and teachers. Not that these older generations deliberately make life hard for the imaginative and developing consciousnesses, but rather don’t really pay attention to the right sort of things. Freud makes their dreams into some sort of sexual fetish, parents try to force their children to be something the parents wish they were (often at odds with who the children are becoming) and teachers rely on telling students what they need to know rather than being curious about what these children already know. All is not lost, as eventually children grow into conscious citizens (or given that most of the lectures happened during the lead-up to WWII, they don’t) but often the cycle back into the bad habits of parents and teachers that let them down in the first place. Jung sets a better way by listening carefully to the dream and viewpoints of these children, letting them be who they are and will someday become.

korkunç bir çeviri gerçekten, sözde kitap türkçeye çevrilmiş ama okurken cümlelerin ingilizcelerini duyuyorsunuz kulağınızda. 2 hafta boyunca kendimi okumaya zorladım ama bitiremedim. pdf ve ingilizce halini bulup okuyacağım, kitabı aldığıma pişman oldum. parama yazık oldu.

"Новото винаги е несигурно - нещо, което трябва да се изпита. Новото може да бъде и болест. Затова истинският напредък е възможен единствено при наличието на зряла преценка. Разумната преценка обаче изисква опорна точка, каквато може да бъде едиствено познаването на миналото. Онзи, който без да осъзнава историческите взаимовръзки, къса връзката с миналото, се излага на опасността да попадне във властта на произтичащите от новото и непознатото внушения и заслепение. Трагизмът на всички нововъведения е в това, че заедно с мръсната вода изхвърлят и бебето. Страстта към нововъведения, слава Богу, не е национална черта на швейцарците par excellence, но светът, в който живеем, е разтърсван от треската на нововъведенията. От днешните младежи повече от всякога се очаква безстрашие и непоклатимост при вида на тази ужасяващо грандиозна пиеса - от една страна, заради бъдещето на родината ни, а от друга, заради европейската култура, която няма да спечели нищо, ако достиженията на християнското минало бъдат заменени от тяхната противоположност.
Надарената личност е тази, която носи факела, призвана за подобна благородна служба от самата природа."
"Вместо от диви животни, срутващи се скали или прииждащи води днес човекът е заплашен от стихийните сили на собствената си психика. Психиката е могъща стихия, многократно превъзхождаща всички земни сили. Просвещението, което развенча божествения статут на природата и на човешките институции, остави непокътнат бога на ужаса, спотаен в сърцето. Страхът от Бога никъде не е толкова уместен, колкото пред стихията на психичното."

Na to, jak jsou texty starý, tak to bylo skvěle srozumitelný a uchopitelný, dozvěděla jsem se spoustu nových věcí, který spoiluju tady:
- Sny do 3 let věku mají mytologický námět, což Jung vysvětluje jako poslední zbytky mizící kolektivní duše, jež sní a opakuje věčné základní obsahy duše lidstva
- To samý u psychotických stavů a schizofrenie najdeme často ve snech archetypický materiál
- Kolektivní nevědomí podporuje i přesvědčení primitivních národů o inkarnovaných duší předků v duši dítěte, trestání dětí chápou jako urážku předkova ducha
- Zamilování vysvětluje jako promítnutí fascinujícího archetypu muže či ženy na konkrétní osobu – tato projekce se daří tím lépe, čím je objekt lásky psychicky neurčitější či složitější (here we go :D)
Ve větším detailu o knížce píšu tady:

Определено тази книга ми помогна много за въпросите, които се бяха възродили в мен самата. Написана е преди много години, но определено това не я прави ненужна или необходима. Лично за мен има стойност и е подходяща за всеки, който иска да доразвие и доразбере себе си и заобикалящата го среда. Започва се поетапно развиетието на личността, от съвсем малка възраст - до самия си край. Засяга теми като прибързаното психично израстване, проблеми в комуникацията, убежденията на хората, развитието на тяхната мисъл и убеждения, темата със сънищата, която се обяснява по сравнително по-научен начин и не само, разбирането за това какво сънуваш, засяга колективното несъзнавано, зависимостта от партньора по един физически, емоционален и психически начин. Конфликтите на детската душа и нейния анализ, както и се отделя внимание за анализа и на възрастните хора и ключовото за формирането на душата.

Great articles about children’s psychology (but not just), and also a great introduction to Jung’s world.

Okuduğum ilk Jung kitabı. Sekiz ana bölümden oluşan kitapta ilgimi en çok çeken bölümler Çocukta Psişik Çatışmalar, Bireysel Eğitimde Bilinçdışının Önemi, Kişiliğin Gelişimi ve Psikolojik Bir İlişki Olarak Evlilik oldu.
"Kişiliğimiz, yaşamımız boyunca ayırt etmesi zor ya da imkansız olan tohumlardan gelişir, kim olduğumuzu ise sadece eylemlerimiz ortaya çıkarır."

*I. Psychic Conflicts in a Child
II. Introduction to Wickes's Analyse der Kinderseele
III. Child Development and Education
A marked change occurs when the child develops consciousness of his ego, a fact which is registered by his referring to himself as "I." This change normally takes place between the third and fifth year, but it may begin earlier.
There are, unfortunately, mAny parents who keep their children infantile because they themselves do not wish to grow old and give up their parental authority and power.
With the small portion of consciousness that remains to us in the dream state we apperceive what is going on, but we are no longer in a position to guide the course of psychic events according to our wish and purpose; hence we are also robbed of the possibility of deceiving ourselves. The dream is a spontaneous process resulting from the independent activity of the unconscious, and is as far removed from our conscious control as, shall we say, the physiological activity of digestion. Therefore, we have in it an absolutely objective process from the nature of which we can draw objective conclusions about the situation as it really is.
IV. Analytical Psychology and Education
The success of the empirical method is so undeniable that the splendour of its victory has even begotten a materialistic philosophy, which in reality is more a psychological reaction than a justifiable scientific theory. The materialistic outlook is an exaggerated reaction against the medieval idealism and has nothing to do with the empirical method as such.
…the repressed cause of the suffering has other effects: it radiates out into the environment and, if there are children, infects them too. In this way neurotic states are often passed on from generation to generation, like the curse of Atreus. The children are infected indirectly through the attitude they instinctively adopt towards their parents' state of mind: either they fight against it with unspoken protest (though occasionally the protest is vociferous) or else they succumb to a paralysing and compulsive imitation.
…fanaticism is always a compensation for hidden doubt.
Once we have lost the capacity to orient ourselves by religious truth, there is absolutely nothing which can deliver man from his original biological bondage to the family, as he will simply transfer his infantile principles, uncorrected, to the world at large, and will find there a father who, so far from guiding him, leads him to perdition.
…by repressing disagreeable thoughts she created something like a psychic vacuum which, as usually happens, gradually became filled with anxiety. Had she troubled herself consciously with her thoughts she would have known what was lacking, and she would then have needed no anxiety states as a substitute for the absence of conscious suffering.
…nearly every psychological principle, every truth relating to the psyche, must, if it is to be made absolutely true, immediately be reversed. Thus one is neurotic because one has repressions or because one does not have repressions; because one's head is full of infantile sex fantasies or because one has no fantasies; because one is childishly unadapted to one's environment or because one is adapted too exclusively to the environment; because one does or because one does not live by the pleasure principle; because one is too unconscious or because one is too conscious; because one is selfish or because one exists too little as a self; and so on.
These antinomies, which can be multiplied at will, show how difficult and thankless is the task of theory-building in psychology.
I think a dream like this will help to make clear the difference between an ordinary, personal dream and the "big" dream. Anybody with an open mind can at once feel the significance of the dream and will agree with me that such dreams come from a "different level" from that of the dreams we dream every night.
The participation mystique, or primitive identity, causes the child to feel the conflicts of the parents and to suffer from them as if they were its own. It is hardly ever the open conflict or the manifest difficulty that has such a poisonous effect, but almost always parental problems that have been kept hidden or allowed to become unconscious. The author of these neurotic disturbances is, without exception, the unconscious. Things that hang in the air and are vaguely felt by the child, the oppressive atmosphere of apprehension and foreboding, these slowly seep into the child's soul like a poisonous vapour.
…under the cloak of selfless devotion to the dear child, whose happiness is the sole aim of the mother's life. But in actual fact the child is not given a grain of real love. That is why she suffers from premature sexual symptoms, like so many other neglected and ill-treated children, while at the same time she is deluged with so-called maternal love.
V. The Gifted Child
VI. The Significance of the Unconscious in Individual Education
*VII. The Development of Personality
The words "many are called, but few are chosen" are singularly appropriate here, for the development of personality from the germ-state to full consciousness is at once a charisma and a curse, because its first fruit is the conscious and unavoidable segregation of the single individual from the undifferentiated and unconscious herd. This means isolation, and there is no more comforting word for it. Neither family nor society nor position can save him from this fate, nor yet the most successful adaptation to his environment, however smoothly he fits in. The development of personality is a favour that must be paid for dearly. But the people who talk most loudly about developing their personalities are the very ones who are least mindful of the results, which are such as to frighten away all weaker spirits.
…vocation acts like a law of God from which there is no escape. The fact that many a man who goes his own way ends in ruin means nothing to one who has a vocation. He must obey his own law, as if it were a daemon whispering to him of new and wonderful paths. Anyone with a vocation hears the voice of the inner man: he is called. That is why the legends say that he possesses a private daemon who counsels him and whose mandates he must obey.
One of the most shining examples of the meaning of personality that history has preserved for us is the life of Christ. In Christianity, which, be it mentioned in passing, was the only religion really persecuted by the Romans, there rose up a direct opponent of the Caesarean madness that afflicted not only the emperor, but every Roman as well: civis Romanus sum.
Obeying the inner call of his vocation, Jesus voluntarily exposed himself to the assaults of the imperialistic madness that filled everyone, conqueror and conquered alike. In this way he recognized the nature of the objective psyche which had plunged the whole world into misery and had begotten a yearning for salvation that found expression even in the pagan poets. Far from suppressing or allowing himself to be suppressed by this psychic onslaught, he let it act on him consciously, and assimilated it. Thus was world-conquering Caesarism transformed into spiritual kingship, and the Roman Empire into the universal kingdom of God that was not of this world. While the whole Jewish nation was expecting an imperialistically minded and politically active hero as a Messiah, Jesus fulfilled the Messianic mission not so much for his own nation as for the whole Roman world, and pointed out to humanity the old truth that where force rules there is no love, and where love reigns force does not count. The religion of love was the exact psychological counterpart to the Roman devil-worship of power.
*VIII. Marriage as a Psychological Relationship
…the children are driven unconsciously in a direction that is intended to compensate for everything that was left unfulfilled in the lives of their parents. Hence it is that excessively moral-minded parents have what are called "unmoral" children, or an irresponsible wastrel of a father has a son with a positively morbid amount of ambition, and so on. The worst results flow from parents who have kept themselves artificially unconscious. Take the case of a mother who deliberately keeps herself unconscious so as not to disturb the pretence of a "satisfactory" marriage. Unconsciously she will bind her son to her, more or less as a substitute for a husband. The son, if not forced directly into homosexuality, is compelled to modify his choice in a way that is contrary to his true nature. He may, for instance, marry a girl who is obviously inferior to his mother and therefore unable to compete with her; or he will fall for a woman of a tyrannical and overbearing disposition, who may perhaps succeed in tearing him away from his mother.
… consciousness is always ego-consciousness. In order to be conscious of myself, I must be able to distinguish myself from others. Relationship can only take place where this distinction exists. But although the distinction may be made in a general way, normally it is incomplete, because large areas of psychic life still remain unconscious.
…the motives he acts from are largely unconscious. Subjectively, of course, he thinks himself very conscious and knowing, for we constantly overestimate the existing content of consciousness, and it is a great and surprising discovery when we find that what we had supposed to be the final peak is nothing but the first step in a very long climb. The greater the area of unconsciousness, the less is marriage a matter of free choice, as is shown
subjectively in the fatal compulsion one feels so acutely when one is in love. The compulsion can exist even when one is not in love, though in less agreeable form.
…there is often an uncommonly large difference between the purely instinctive personality and one that is individually differentiated. And though in such cases the race might be improved and invigorated by a purely instinctive choice, individual happiness would be bound to suffer.
…the marriage choice will normally follow the unconscious motivations of instinct. Unconsciousness results in non-differentiation, or unconscious identity. The practical consequence of this is that one person presupposes in the other a psychological structure similar to his own. Normal sex life, as a shared experience with apparently similar aims, further strengthens the feeling of unity and identity. This state is described as one of complete harmony, and is extolled as a great happiness ("one heart and one soul") not without good reason, since the return to that original condition of unconscious oneness is like a return to childhood. Hence the childish gestures of all lovers.
II. Introduction to Wickes's Analyse der Kinderseele
III. Child Development and Education
A marked change occurs when the child develops consciousness of his ego, a fact which is registered by his referring to himself as "I." This change normally takes place between the third and fifth year, but it may begin earlier.
There are, unfortunately, mAny parents who keep their children infantile because they themselves do not wish to grow old and give up their parental authority and power.
With the small portion of consciousness that remains to us in the dream state we apperceive what is going on, but we are no longer in a position to guide the course of psychic events according to our wish and purpose; hence we are also robbed of the possibility of deceiving ourselves. The dream is a spontaneous process resulting from the independent activity of the unconscious, and is as far removed from our conscious control as, shall we say, the physiological activity of digestion. Therefore, we have in it an absolutely objective process from the nature of which we can draw objective conclusions about the situation as it really is.
IV. Analytical Psychology and Education
The success of the empirical method is so undeniable that the splendour of its victory has even begotten a materialistic philosophy, which in reality is more a psychological reaction than a justifiable scientific theory. The materialistic outlook is an exaggerated reaction against the medieval idealism and has nothing to do with the empirical method as such.
…the repressed cause of the suffering has other effects: it radiates out into the environment and, if there are children, infects them too. In this way neurotic states are often passed on from generation to generation, like the curse of Atreus. The children are infected indirectly through the attitude they instinctively adopt towards their parents' state of mind: either they fight against it with unspoken protest (though occasionally the protest is vociferous) or else they succumb to a paralysing and compulsive imitation.
…fanaticism is always a compensation for hidden doubt.
Once we have lost the capacity to orient ourselves by religious truth, there is absolutely nothing which can deliver man from his original biological bondage to the family, as he will simply transfer his infantile principles, uncorrected, to the world at large, and will find there a father who, so far from guiding him, leads him to perdition.
…by repressing disagreeable thoughts she created something like a psychic vacuum which, as usually happens, gradually became filled with anxiety. Had she troubled herself consciously with her thoughts she would have known what was lacking, and she would then have needed no anxiety states as a substitute for the absence of conscious suffering.
…nearly every psychological principle, every truth relating to the psyche, must, if it is to be made absolutely true, immediately be reversed. Thus one is neurotic because one has repressions or because one does not have repressions; because one's head is full of infantile sex fantasies or because one has no fantasies; because one is childishly unadapted to one's environment or because one is adapted too exclusively to the environment; because one does or because one does not live by the pleasure principle; because one is too unconscious or because one is too conscious; because one is selfish or because one exists too little as a self; and so on.

Maybe it’s that I’ve read a decent amount of Jung and have started to acquire some fluency but this is him at some of his most intelligible, practical, and accessible. A lot of his key ideas and methods are summarized here, including his method of dream analysis and the gist of the unconscious. His essays on education, the gifted child, and marriage as a psychological relationship I would highly recommend.

I'm going to give you a very subjective review of the piece, you can take what you will or choose to from it. I like that this piece consists of multiple complete essays which follow the same theme and that theme is the development of a child, the child's education, the child's relationship with parents, leading to the very last chapter which focuses on marriage as a psychological relationship which correlates with the child's development. The longest chapter in this piece is The Analytical Psychology and Education which consists of three lectures. Some of the essay can feel dull or redundant; especially as an avid reader of Jung like myself. However, don't let the repetition devalue his work because it is necessary to repeat certain information for the sake of the context. In my personal opinion, the most useful chapter would be the last because it can be apply to intimate relationship and not only to marriage. This volume by Carl Gustav Jung will most benefit parents and educators, if they wish to become more mindful of their role. I'd definitely recommend it to any parents, guardians, teacher, or anyone who plan on raising children.

This is both an excellent advanced introduction to Jung, for those new to his writing and thinking, and an excellent book to re-read when your Jungian understanding is more sophisticated. The ideas become deeper and richer with additional reads.
And sometimes I am in awe at the elegant power of his language!
And sometimes I am in awe at the elegant power of his language!
To the extent that man is untrue to the law of his being and does not rise to personality, he has failed to realize his life's meaning. Fortunately, in her kindness and patience, Nature never puts the fatal question as to the meaning of their lives into the mouths of most people. And where no one asks, no one need answer (par 314).

The book was good - some really digestable, quotable Jung. Some of the topics, the reader could tell, were not Jung's specialty, and read differently than his stuff on Archetypes and the collective unconcious - but it was still an informative, approachable book. I particularly liked the segments on "Psychic conflict in a child", "Child Develoment adn Education," " "The significance of the unconscious in individual education," and "The development of Personality." A good recomendation for the Jungian who is interested in educational development.

Jung, Freud'un öğrencisi ve arkadaşı iken kendisinin de belirttiği gibi zaman içerisinde Freud'u, kuramlarında cinselliğe verdiği büyük önem nedeniyle dogmatik buluyor ve onunla yollarını ayırıyor. Kendisi anima, animus, kollektif bilinçdışı gibi kavramları psikolojiye kazandıran isim.
Jung, bilinçdışından önce bilincin analiz edilmesini savunuyor. Bilinçdışına ulaşmanın yolunun Freud'un da üzerinde durduğu gibi aktarım, fantazi ve rüyalar ile mümkün olabileceğini belirtmiş. Freud rüya dinamiğinin doyurulmamış arzuların tatmini üzerine işlediğini söylüyorken Jung rüya konusunda böyle katı bir çerçeve çizmiyor; rüyalarda bireysel simgeler yanında kolektif bilınçdışına ait evrensel simgelerin de görülebileceğini belirtiyor. Bazı analizanları ile yaptığı bazı görüşmelerdeki fantazi, rüya ve aktarım deneyimlerine de yer vermiş.
Yetişkinlerin belirli bir yaştan sonra kendilerini geliştirmeyi bırakmasını eleştiren Jung, çocuk yetiştirmedeki en önemli şeyin çocuğa "rol model" olmak olduğunu savunuyor. Öğretmenlerin bir miktar psikoloji bilmesinin önemli olduğunu, eğitmenlerin eksikliklerinin çocuk tarafından mutlaka hissedileceğini, çocuğun ebeveynlerinin bilinçdışını da mutlaka hissedeceğini ve bunu kendi bilinçdışında yaşayacağını belirtiyor (verdiği bir vaka örneği çok enteresandı).
Okulun zaman zaman bireysellikleri törpüleyebildiğini ancak çocuğun kişisel gelişimi için gerekli olduğu belirtiliyor. Çocuğun sosyal ortamlarda, okulda yaşadığı uyum sorunlarının genelde ev kaynaklı olduğu üzerinde dururken şunu da ekliyor : "çocuk doğduğunda annenin psişesine aittir, sonra yavaş yavaş babanın psişesine de ait olmaya başlar"
Bu kitapta Jung'un temel kavramları olan akretip, gölge kavramlarına pek girilmemiş. Çocuk sahibi olanlar, öğretmenler için okunması gereken bir kitap. Psikoloji terminolojisine bir miktar hakim olmak gerekir diye düşünüyorum.
Freud'cu damgası yemeyi göze alarak yer yer Jung'un tutuculuğunu hissettiğimi de belirterek yazıyı sonlandırıyorum.

The main theme of the book is about Jung method and approach to child uncounscious and how parents usually and the family/educational system affect the evolution of "special" or problematics children in very harmful and unhelpful ways usually. For a book written literally seven decades ago from someone often labelled as a "right-wing" obscure prophet or fascist (which is pure nonsense) Jung hold some VERY progressives views and very much totally opposite of what people actually sometimes claim about him. He suggest a very compasionate and miticulous approach to understand troubles children issues and offers a very credible (in my opinion at least) serie of examples on how a psychologist can and should "adapt" to the children uncounscious and hidden fears/influence of imagination to actually resolve the issues they have at home. Which is something actually still done to this day and I can say that as someone who have frequented psychologists in my younger days as a kid (I am a young man now).
The book also touch on the subject of mariage and men-women relationship (notably the last chapter) essentially arguing that if the couple doesn't have a "balanced" uncounscious (as in , unresolved traumas and frustrations notably with their parents) they are going to seek into each other uncounscious archetypes and models (The mother/vicious woman vs the father/rebel man for example)
Jung also touch in some instances to the fact that the new wave of progress and cultural changes seeking to drive away from religion and spiritual traditions is basically foolishness and harmful to humanity, as human by nature itself is always connected to symbolism/mysticism and ideolozation to figures, those attacking faith simply refuse to accept it.
Not his best book, but very very insightful.

Using an analogy in the book, reading Jung is an experience of being fascinated by the multi-facets and sophistication of human nature, and feeling grateful for Jung's being so kind as to illustrate what lies deep in the human psyche with insights and caring.
Whenever I thought I knew something about psychology, Jung's book revealed more that I was unaware of, and gave me plenty of good reasons to be cautious and not play with it frivolously. Like in all the hero stories, great danger guards the great reward.
The development of personality is also the process of individuation.
In this book, Jung talked about the psychic sphere at home, the most influential to children being those created by the unconsciousness of parents. Children always see/feel the truth. It's a bit disturbing to read that parents' psychic condition always penetrated into their children, like the boy who dreamed the dreams that reflected his father's problem. On the one hand, children's neurosis always has roots in their environments, on the other hand, adults should not use that as an excuse to not deal with their present issues. Psychology can only be discussed with adults.
The psychological relationship of marriage is also very interesting. While childhood and youth are the first half of life, middle-life crises that happen so often are from the second half of life, which, according to Jung, is of enormous psychological importance.
"The transformation from nature into culture, from instinct into spiritual" is only possible by conscious decision, which demands an understanding of the unconscious, both its merits and its danger.

Kitap; analitik psikolojiye dair fikirler, rüya analizi ve yorumu örnekleri, çocuk psikolojisini anlatan örnekler, Jung’un uluslararası eğitim kongrelerinde verdiği konferanslardan alınmış metinler içermekte. Psikolojiye kazandırdığı kavramlara yabancı olanlar için birkaç zor bölüme sahip olsa da genel olarak akıcı, edebi cümlelerle de parlatılmış bir kitap. Çok fazla altını çizdiğim ve geri dönüşler yapacağım cümleler oldu.
Bir bölümde “Söylediklerim mesleğinizde size yardımcı olursa ne mutlu bana.” demiş yazar. Jung okumak cahilliğimizi bir nebze de olsa azaltmamıza, kendimize dair farkındalığımızı artırmaya katkı sağlayacaktır diye düşünüyorum. Bize kendimizi ve çocuk psikolojisini anlatan bu tarz kitapları okumak keşke kişinin ilgisine bırakılmasa, eğitim hayatının bir döneminde zorunlu hale getirilse..
“Sadece gençler için değil aynı zamanda yetişkinler için de devam okulları olmalı. Şu an insanları sadece bir yaşam kazanıp evlenebilecekleri noktaya kadar eğitiyoruz; sonra sanki tam bir zihinsel donanım kazanılmış gibi eğitim tamamen duruyor. Yaşamın geriye kalan tüm karmaşık problemlerinin çözümü bireyin sağduyusu ve cehaletine bırakılıyor. Düşüncesiz ve mutsuz sayısız evlilik, sayısız profesyonel hayal kırıklığı tamamen bu yetişkin eğitimi eksikliğinden kaynaklanıyor. Bu yüzden çok sayıda erkek ve kadın tüm yaşamlarını en önemli şeylerden tam anlamıyla cahil kalarak harcıyorlar.”

This book contains a great view of Jung’s thought on familial dynamics and their relation to the child’s development. The collection of essays primarily deals with childhood psychological development, the education and educative process of analytic psychology, the role of education in relation to the child’s psychology, and the development of personality and factors that contribute to it. Overall, as with the other collected works, it is a great synthesis of Jung’s writing in relation to a particular domain of psychological studies. Most of the essays are more philosophical than contemporary psychology would condone, as is the case with almost all of the psychoanalyst work, however Jung acknowledges this by bifurcating between experimental psychology and the psychology concerning him. In sum is it a great insight into Jung’s philosophical underpinnings and does have some genuinely good insight and applicable concepts of psychology.

اختتمت شهر مارس بكتاب مهم لكارل يونغ، كتاب تطور الشخصية عبارة عن مجموعة من المحاضرات التي تتحدث عن تكوين نفسية الطفل وعلاقتها بالوالدين، الأم والأب بالنسبة لكارل هما الأساس، فإذا أردنا معالجة نفسية الطفل لابد لنا من معالجة الوالدين أولاً.
وأيضًا من الأشياء المهمة في الكتاب، واعتقد انها لبّ ما اراد يونغ أن يوصله لنا بأن تطور وبناء الشخصية يعتمد اعتماد كبير على شخصية الوالدين.
بمعنى آخر، الأطفال هم أكثر المتضررين من علاقات الزواج الفاشلة.

Não tinha muita expectativa pra esse livro, porque o assunto não me atraía. Mas que surpresa eu levei! Jung nesse livro está claro e dilacerante. O texto “Da formação da personalidade” talvez seja um dos melhores que já li dele (e já li vários). Um livro gigante e muito subestimado pela comunidade Junguiana. Além disso, abarca várias porções da psicologia do autor de forma simples (em se tratando de Jung). Excelente!
