An Introduction to Jung's Psychology: Psychotherapy
نویسنده
چکیده
PSYCHOTHERAPY is the treatment of the mind, or rather the psyche, by psychological methods. Psychotherapy has come to be identified in the public mind with 'psychoanalysis', a word which was coined by Freud and should strictly speaking be applied only to his method, which explains psychic symptoms in terms of repressed infantile sexual impulses; this implies tracing neuroses back to their roots in infancy.(1) Another widely used method namely, that of Alfred Adler explains neurosis in terms of a drive for power, which has arisen as an attempt to compensate for feelings of inferiority, and is known as 'Individual Psychology'.

متن کاملIndividuation. A Study of the Depth-Psychology of Jung
Though it is not stated, we may assume that Dr. Goldbrunner is a theologian, for his critical estimation covers the relation of Jung's concepts to religion, anthropology, ethics, education, and the "cure of souls," and he is evidently most at home in the sphere of religion. It may be noted here that there is a curious naivete when the subject of psychotherapy is broached, which no doubt derives...
