Abstract

In this essay we are presenting a potential new Post-jungian psychology. The psychology that I will be expressing is one of jungian psychoanalytical cultural psychology (JPC). One thing that I have noticed in my psychological studies is that the jungian, psychoanalytical, Freudian, Adlerian (etc) terminology fits best with those who are neurotic. You may say 'obviously' so because such psychologists talk a lot about mental illness. But they (Jung especially) talk about health as well. Remember that Jung is associated with meaning, religion, myth, numinosity. However, in everyday life Jung's psychology can most easily be applied to the psychologically un-well... those with complexes, those with psychological conflicts, those who dissociate (crumble), those who repress and are in denial, those who fail to integrate psychic material and those who therefore remain neurotic personalities. What is life about?
