Analysis and the grail of the unconscious

April 26th, 2012 | Posted by pfmarchive in uncategorized

A form of psychotherapy, Jungian analysis is an interpersonal process of coming to terms with the unconscious

Carl Gustav Jung was a psychiatrist and the founder of analytical psychology. He is considered the first modern psychiatrist to view the human psyche as “by nature religious” and to make it the focus of exploration. Jung emphasized the individuation of a person. The process might be described as being all that we can be by uncovering the hidden parts of our personality through dreams, active imagination and self-observation.

Jungian Analysis is a specialized form of psychotherapy that aims to move an individual to a greater sense of wholeness through ‘coming to terms with the unconscious.’ What does this mean? And, how can it help?
