 Welcome!
This site is designed to provide online
resources for the study of Carl Jung theories and methods of exploration of the unconscious. Jung, the son of a Protestant pastor, initially worked at
Burghozly alongside the famous; psychiatrist Bleuer studying schizophrenia. Later on, he heard out about Freud's book about dreams and met him in Vienna to discuss his new science of psychoanalysis. He collaborated with Freud for the propagation of the so-called "cause" and corresponded on various topics related, among others, to the dream interpretation method.
Later, he broke with Freud to formulate his new direction in psychoanalysis called analytical psychology. He is the author of books dedicated to the study of the symbols and meaning of contents of the unconscious,
proposing new benchmarks in the approach of the unconscious mind, such as, archetypes, the archetypal unconscious, the process of individuation, and others.
He devoted himself to other studies in the field of occultism, astrology, I Ching, and especially alchemy in which he saw a confirmation of his own concept concerning the process of individuation.
Jung introduces a lot of new terms in psychoanalysis and a proper method in the analysis of dreams that departs from the Freudian one. We described his approach in this site too.
Jung also deals with the phenomenology of the Christian religion, defining the Christian experience as a psychic fact, and writes about the symbolism of Jesus Christ apart from the religious dogma.
His activity in the fields of culture is vast - he writes about synchronicity and the future of humanity breaking apart from religion, with disastrous consequences. |
