COVID-19 has brought about reflections on the relationships between people and their governments. Compared to some Westerners' libertarian thinking that the state took advantage of the pandemic to ...deprive individuals of their freedom, people from countries with Chinese cultural heritage tended to be more collaborative, as they believed the situation was rooted in unseen changes in the environment. This article argues that this thinking characterizes a conceptualization of environmental freedom which was based on the thesis of vital energy, or qi. Chinese had developed the classical I Ching to predict the changes of the environment in the form of flowing qi, in order to make informed decisions for political actions. Liu Bowen of the Ming dynasty integrated this. This paper aims to demonstrate its significance in the contemporary world by rethinking its constitution through Carl Jung's theory of the synchronistic principle. Moreover, we illustrate how to conduct and interpret the result of divination predicting the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on how the government can choose to produce the greatest good in the face of such a quandary. Key words: COVID-19, environmental freedom, Golden Treatises, Liu Bowen, principle of synchronicity, wuxingyi.
Objective/Context: This article studies psychoanalysis in the 1910s and aims to understand the impacts of the Great War and soldiers’ neurosis on the psychoanalytic movement and knowledge through the ...Fifth International Psychoanalytic Congress in 1918 in Budapest. Methodology: In dialogue with cultural studies on the Great War and intellectual history, this paper investigates psychoanalytical spaces of sociability, such as the International Psychoanalytical Association and its congresses. Originality: A thorough historiographical review reveals few detailed publications on the Budapest Congress itself. This article fills the gap by synthesizing prior findings about the congress, connecting the historiographies of psychoanalysis and World War I. Conclusions: The congress in Budapest was a milestone for psychoanalysis, considering the first governmental recognition of psychoanalytical treatment, theoretical changes produced by war neurosis, and institutional modifications in the International Psychoanalytical Association, such as the expansion and democratization of psychoanalytical treatment.
The purpose of this study was to explore the image of the hidden, the invisible, and the unknown through an encounter with the mythic figures of Kore/Persephone, Demeter, Hekate, Hades, and Zeus in ...the Homeric “Hymn to Demeter.” This art-based research project culminated in an expressive arts video that engages the living images and subsequently provides an example of Jung’s statement from The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious, “The most we can do is to dream the myth onward and give it a modern dress.” I utilized the Soul Story process, a method I previously co-developed with a partner, which includes (1) opening with a prompting or question to explore; (2) selecting props and attire for the mythical figures present; (3) engaging in the world in a form of active imagination that uses movement, emotional expressions, and the landscape to animate and embody the figures; (4) having a witness film the process while it unfolds; and (5) making a final video that reveals a story about the interactions. The Soul Story process allowed me to engage with a form of symbolic play that brought the main mythical figures found in the Persephone and Hades myth to life. In the end, this project offers a practical approach for how one might creatively enter inside a myth and embody the living images through a dramatic enactment with one’s imagination that moves the psyche into a more conscious relationship with the figures.
Art therapy and the image are active approaches to address the analytic third, an idea that was mentioned by C. G. Jung in the Psychology of the Transference, but was first experienced by him as ...described in The Red Book (2009). Jung's art-making was an impressive lifelong affair that relied upon mixed media, making it reasonable for us to consider Jung as the father of art therapy. Prior to the 1913 publication of Symbols of Transformation, Jung visited America for a second time; on this visit, the Jungian analyst Beatrice Hinkle introduced Jung to the Greenwich crowd. Among the noteworthy artists and activists were Margaret Naumburg and Florence Cane, who later established the field of art therapy in the United States. Despite the tension created from the Freud-Jung split, Naumburg and Cane were deeply influenced by Jung's theoretical ideas, initially via Hinkle, with whom they analyzed for three years. Requiring a safe passage for the birth of art therapy, Naumburg navigated an independent third way, but drew from many of Jung's already established ideas to formulate her research and educational approach. Because the historical details surrounding the development of art therapy in America are being stitched back into an art therapy education, Jung's early clinical insights regarding specific theoretical ideas gain visibility and respect. This overview acknowledges that analytical psychology remains a powerful and integral building block in the field of art therapy and offers relevant resources for theoretical and clinical formulations when working as an art therapist.
Occultist, Scientist, Prophet, Charlatan - C. G. Jung has been called all these things and after decades of myth making, is one of the most misunderstood figures in Western intellectual history. This ...book is the first comprehensive study of the origins of his psychology, as well as providing a new account of the rise of modern psychology and psychotherapy. Based on a wealth of hitherto unknown archival materials it reconstructs the reception of Jung's work in the human sciences, and its impact on the social and intellectual history of the twentieth century. The book creates a basis for all future discussion of Jung, and opens new vistas on psychology today.
Toplumsal yapı ve sosyal hayatın en önemli problemlerinden biri olan kadın-erkek ilişkileri ve bu ilişkinin yarattığı sorunlar birey, aile, toplum üzerinde sosyolojik ve psikolojik açıdan oldukça ...etkilidir. Bireyin hayatının şekillenmesinde dönüm noktası niteliği taşıyan eş/sevgili/arkadaş seçimi, karşı cinsle olan iletişimini ortaya koymakta ve onun toplumsal yapıya uyum sağlamasına yardımcı olduğu gibi bu yapıdan uzaklaşmasına da neden olmaktadır. Kadın ve erkek ilişkilerini ekonomik, siyasi, sosyal, tarihi, dini şartlar kadar onların atalarından devraldıkları psikolojik miras da etkilemektedir. Carl Gustav Jung'un kolektif/toplumsal bilinç dışının ürünü olarak nitelendirdiği ve bireye ilk/arkaik insandan itibaren kültürel kodlar şeklinde aktarılan arketipler/ilk örnekler bireyin topluma uyum sağlamasında öncü rol üstlenirler. Kadının kalıtsal kolektif erkek imgesine "animus" erkeğin kalıtsal kolektif kadın imgesine "anima" adını veren Jung, her iki cinsin seçimlerinde etkili olan bu "ruh imgesi"nin bireyin hayatında kadın erkek ilişkilerini nasıl şekillendirdiğini ortaya koyar. Türk edebiyatının son dönem yazarlarından olan Buket Uzuner'in Ayın En Çıplak Günü adlı hikâye kitabında yer alan öyküler erkeklerin hayatlarında var olan kadınlarla içlerindeki taşıdıkları ebedi/hayali kadın imgelerinin yansımalarının farklı boyutlarını somutlaması ve örneklem oluşturması bakımından önem arz etmektedir. Çalışmada bu yansımalar üzerinden evrensel bir problem olarak insanlık tarihi boyunca toplumu meşgul eden "kadın-erkek" ilişkisinde atasal psikolojik mirasın izleri tespit edilecek ve erkeğin hayatında "dişil unsur"un etkileri okuyucu düzleminde görünür kılınacaktır.

Jung's works on religion focus on images of the divine, which people experience in various ways. Here, we consider a variety of such numinous experiences, ranging from childhood dreams to experiences ...of Christian saints and of 20th-century cult leaders, all of which can be described as images of God in the human psyche.
This personal account charts the changing relationship to a Jungian identity arising from the interrelated processes of understanding the roots of the colonial and racial ideologies that underpin ...Jung’s thinking, and a developing awareness of what it means to be a white person in a system of racism that maintains white supremacy. This is illustrated with reference to the image of a black man appearing in the dream of the white author and with use of post‐Jungian thinking to critique the notion of an objective, non‐racial psyche.
