Coscienza inconscio e individuazione

Rate this book
Al centro della teoria junghiana della psiche vi è l'ipotesi di una pulsione, più o meno vigorosamente presente nei singoli individui, che guida alla conoscenza di sé e alla realizzazione, lungo l'intero arco della vita, delle contradditorie tendenze naturali. E', nella terminologia junghiana, il processo d'"individuazione".
In questo libro Jung dice che è possibile riconoscere, nella serie dei 'mandala' (raffigurazioni del simbolo unicatore) disegnati da un soggetto dotato di capacità pittoriche, la formulazione spontanea di tale innata pulsione.
Jung commenta il racconto per immagini dell'avventura psichica della sua paziente, e insieme aggiunge una prova della presenza nella psiche di una tendenza oggettiva. Questa può fare del vivere tutt'altro che uno smarrito errare tra piacere e dolore, tra illusioni e dubbie speranze, ma piuttosto un processo, che può condurre da uno stato di squilibrio e conflitti a uno di 'equilibrio cosciente', anche se difficile e sofferto.

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.

Non lo consiglio per un’introduzione alla teoria dell’incoscio e degli archetipi junghiani: in questo particolare libro l’autore ne ha un’idea ancora confusa rispetto ad altri testi più tardi (come l’uomo e i suoi simboli). Ma è sorprendente come leggendo Jung ogni volta ci si imbatta in spunti di riflessione e introspezione del tutto inattesi.
