This chapter explores the Analytical Psychology concepts developed by Carl Gustav Jung after his break with Sigmund Freud. Some of them are highly relevant to the psychotherapeutic work with children and adolescents, as they were embraced by many child psychotherapists in the work with toys and also with the sand tray. Topics related to mythology and the “collective unconscious” can readily be expressed by children during their play. Jung used concepts like “shadow” to refer to our unconscious “dark” side. He fostered the notion of individuation as a way for the person to be themselves in their social context. Concepts like “psychological complexes”, introversion, extraversion have been universally accepted and are helpful in understanding the inner world of children and adolescents, they can readily be understood in the psychotherapeutic process.

摘要

This chapter explores the Analytical Psychology concepts developed by Carl Gustav Jung after his break with Sigmund Freud. Some of them are highly relevant to the psychotherapeutic work with children and adolescents, as they were embraced by many child psychotherapists in the work with toys and also with the sand tray. Topics related to mythology and the “collective unconscious” can readily be expressed by children during their play. Jung used concepts like “shadow” to refer to our unconscious “dark” side. He fostered the notion of individuation as a way for the person to be themselves in their social context. Concepts like “psychological complexes”, introversion, extraversion have been universally accepted and are helpful in understanding the inner world of children and adolescents, they can readily be understood in the psychotherapeutic process.
