Multiculturalism and Jung

• Jungs political and social views were elitist
  and reactionary.
• Quote by Jung, Nature is aristocratic and one
  person of value outweighs 10 lesser ones.
• Jungianism had no social programs and ignored
  social issues

Multiculturalism

• Associated feminine with the negative concepts
  (darkness, unconsciousness, unconsciousness,
  irrational)
• Masculine was light, spirit, consciousness and
  rational)
• Jung viewed it as up to man to conquer the dark
  feminine elements of life

Multiculturalism

• Jungs theory is definitely time and culturally
  bound. Women and minorities have not been viewed
  in the best light.
• Many Jungian followers of today are discarding
  some aspects of Jungs theory.
• Today a small, but growing number of Jung
  Institutes have Asian, African-American,
  Hispanic, gay and lesbian and feminist analysts.

Discuss

• The collective unconscious is Jungs term for the
  vast, hidden psychic resource shared by all human
  beings. Images that emerge out of the collective
  unconscious are shared by all people but modified
  by personal experiences.

Discuss

• Jungs theories have influenced contemporary
  religious, cultural, and sociological thought,
  as well as art, literature and drama.
  Nevertheless, psychology in general, and modern
  psychotherapeutic systems in particular,
  frequently overlook or ignore Jungs influence.

• Jung believed the principle aim of psychotherapy
  was ultimately neither curing nor alleviating
  patients unhappiness but increasing patients
  self-respect and self-knowledge.
