The personality is a dynamic system. Like all other dynamic systems, it must be self-organized. In this paper I focus upon the archetype-as-such, that is, upon the essential core around which both an archetypical image and a complex are organized. I argue that an archetype-as-such is a pre-existing principle of organization. Within the personality that principle manifests itself as a psychologi...

An archetype is a formal model of a domain concept, expressed as a set of constraints based on a reference model and used in a particular domain. In clinical domains, an archetype is defined as a formal model of a clinical concept. Archetypes are considered by many researchers a fundamental tool for the achievement of semantic interoperability of electronic healthcare records. To date, differen...

There has always been confusion and disagreement about the nature of the terms archetype and complex in Jungian circles, not to mention non-Jungian ones. Another ongoing concern is whether Jung's concept of the archetype and complex can be justified in terms of current scientific research, most notably that of neurophysiologists and others interested in the brain and consciousness. This paper p...

Abstract In our dialogues over the nature of archetypes, essence, psyche, and world, I further respond to Erik Goodwyn’s recent foray into establishing an ontological position that not only answers mind-body problem, but locates source Psyche on a cosmic plane. His impressive attempt launch neo-Jungian metaphysics is based principle panpsychism bridges both internal parameters archetypal proces...

In this article, we describe an infrastructure enabling archetype-based semantic interoperability of Web Service messages exchanged in the health care domain. We annotate the Web Service messages with the OWL representation of the archetypes. Then, by providing the ontology mapping between the archetypes, we show that the interoperability of the Web Service message instances can be achieved aut...
