چکیده
Jung’s research can be divided into three different phases. In the psychiatric phase (from 1900 to 1912) the fundamental core of psychic dynamics and organization: the “feelingtoned representation complex” is individuated, representing a psychic unit endowed with a certain degree of specificity and autonomy. The affect autonomy and its role in the organization of psychic life was subsequently transformed into the concept of “psychic energy.” This concept accounts for the relationships existing among all psychic contents, both conscious and unconscious. In a subsequent phase (from 1912 to the 1920s) the structural and dynamic organization of psychic life is defined. The unconscious contains all that is not in direct touch with consciousness. It consists of a personal sphere and of the collective unconscious archetypal structure that Jung had detected in the cultural productions of all times as well as in dreams, visions, and hallucinations. Finally, in the third phase, the theorization of quantum physics and the interpretation of alchemy as a projection process of psychic contents offer Jung the language and the conceptual tools for a holistic view of psychic life. In this vision, consciousness, in its process of gradual integration of the unconscious contents, is transformed along the individuation process.
