Through waking imagination and listening to the messages of our dreams, we can link and reintegrate our different parts. Life’s goal is individuation, the process of coming to know, giving expression to, and balancing the different components of the psyche. If we understand our uniqueness, we can forgo a process of individuation and start to understand our…

When reading “The Alchemist” Santiago was a character of intriguing traits whether they were proficient or unfavorable is another subject and mainly up to the reader to decide. As the main character, the story revolved around his actions and personality which affected many of the other characters along with them having a lasting affect on him. It seemed to me that the author, Paulo Coelho, didn’t leave any stone unturned but didn’t add in detail for unnecessary purposes when it came to the…

Overall bio of Carl Jung Childhood Carl Jung was, in my opinion, an extremely important man in the revolution of Neurology. And although he specified more in the area of psychology, he made great strides and influence in the area of Neurochemistry. He was, in fact, most commonly known for not only the human psyche, but also dream analysis and the collective unconscious. In his early childhood I think it’s interesting how much his life resonates with common issues in the human psyche. He was the…

Seger fails to mention that archetypes can take on more than one form or can completely switch forms as the myth progresses. As proof, King Kong was the basic definition of a beast archetype…

When examining Western literature, the archetype of the trickster plays a very important role in the inversion, or disruption of the status quo. The…

An Integration of Family and Person- Centered Theory Using the Person- Centered theory allows me to use the empathy with clients (Hazler, 2016). When empathy is not used this can hinder the growth and development of a client when they do not have this support in their lives. Using empathy is therapeutic and is an unconditional positive regard in the client’s progress. This will allow me as a counselor to give the acceptance needed by the clients. In addition, person-centered therapy is also…
