“The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate.”Carl Gustav Jung, one of the most controversial figures in psychoanalysis and a thinker whose influence seems destined to grow even stronger in the years to come, stands among the most significant philosopher-psychiatrists of the 20th century. A pioneering psychoanalyst, Jung initiated a profound shift in the field with the development of analytical psychology after his break with Sigmund Freud. From this rupture emerged concepts that continue to shape modern psychology; psychological types, the collective unconscious, complexes, and the association test.Jung offers not merely a theory, but a promise: the process of individuation. He charts this as a journey of self-reflection, an inward passage that demands courage. For, as he suggests, the life of anyone unwilling to look within remains clouded, and that inner obscurity inevitably spills outward, dimming one’s experience of the world itself.It is time to set aside prejudices and preconceptions.Jung invites us on a journey to encounter our own myth.Welcome to the realm of symbols, dreams, archetypes, and myths.
