Articles

The Jungian psychology articles on this website cover a broad range of topics related to various aspects of Jungian psychology.

These articles have been written and chosen to provide information and insight into the Jungian model and its real-life implications.

When you engage in your own Jungian analysis you may find some of these articles provide further insights into your process.

On the other hand, you may be reading to gain a deeper understanding of the work that Carl Jung devoted over 60 years of his life to.

So – just to warn you, there is much to learn. For example, Jung’s Collected Works include over 20 volumes of text. Very few people have studied them all, or appreciate the implications of all he discovered. However, even delving into some of the 100+ articles on this website will take you deeper into human psychology than most people are aware of.

Perhaps you are more generally interested to discover what Jung’s insights reveal about ‘the human condition.’

If this is the beginning of your journey into Jungian psychology, Welcome!

While learning is worthwhile, the purpose of Jung’s work was to help us live our lives, and to improve our lives. So, I do recommend working with a trained Jungian analyst once you start going deeper into your own psyche. The process is about more than working with or understanding one or two dreams. It is about the person you ultimately might become. It is about the inner drive, from beyond your conscious goals and plans. A trained Jungian analyst should understand that, and know how to work with your unique individuality.

Go well on your unique journey!

 

A conscious process of differentiation, or individuation, is needed to bring the individuality to consciousness - quote from Carl Jung, with an image of the Basilica of St Mark in Venice during a thunderstorm.
