This study is a critical analysis of Carl Gustav Jung's interpretation of the book of Job. It presents first the methodological approach adopted in Jung's reading of the book of Job and the epistemology at the basis of his enterprise. It then explores the biographical context of Jung's writings on the book of Job followed by the reconstruction of Jung's interpretation of it with reference not only to Antwort auf Hiob ( Answer to Job) published in 1952, but also to other writings. A series of critiques addressed to Jung's reading of the book of Job are analyzed and followed by a careful study of key concepts of Jung's psychology necessary to properly situate his understanding of the book of Job. The latter is the bulk of this study and emphasizes the relevance of the notion of the self and of the individuation process. All this provides the background for an exploration of the positive aspect of the unconscious. Doing so is necessary to put in a new light the experience of Job, and thus the suffering of the righteous or the innocent. The conclusion widens the issue concerning the reality of evil and suffering in its relation to the divine according to Jung, and it suggests some possible research topics for further examination.

This study investigates whether or nor not the imagery of Catherine of Siena can be interpreted from a Jungian perspective. It takes a lead from other studies, notably one on Teresa of Avila and Jung. Reading of medieval literature suggests that medievals applied the use of symbols and imagery in ways that are at times baffling to people of our time. Carl Jung was no stranger to imagery and symbol. In our current age with its renewed emphasis on the insights of spirituality, and to some extent its disenchantment with aspects of traditional psychology, there is room for a dialogue between the two disciplines of mysticism and psychology across a six-hundred year divide. The use of imagery, as a window to the soul, in the Christian tradition is examined. Catherine of Siena is situated within her own medieval context, one of upheaval in the church, but also an age of mysticism and spiritual/religious phenomena strange to our own time. Catherine is introduced against the background of her world and against the backdrop of the Dominican tradition. A discussion of some of her major imagery demonstrates her aim of union with God. An understanding of conscious aspects and of unconscious aspects of the self is shown as key to Jung ' s view of the psyche. Elucidation of some archetypes and a discussion of Jung's dream analysis demonstrates how Jung believed the unconscious becomes conscious, and how individuation becomes a possibility. Key Catherinian images are examined from a Jungian perspective. Catherine has relevance for the twenty first century, and we are invited to be challenged by the mysteries and truths to which her images point us.

The central aim of this study was to interpret the psychology of C.G . Jung in the light of existential phenomenology, thereby to lay the foundations for an integrated phenomenological analytical psychology. It was recognised that although Jung introduced a poetic understanding of psychological life he tended to adhere theoretically to a Cartesian and natural scientific epistemology and ontology, in which the knower is separated from the known, and psychological life is encapsulated inside the human subject. Thus the main task, which defined generally the study's scope and limitations, was to undercut the lingering Cartesianism in Jung's thought, thereby to recover the world in which one lives as intrinsically and authentically psychological, and one's psychological life as irreducibly world-related. The ontological guidelines for this endeavour were taken primarily from Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty, but it was consistently argued that this hermeneutic movement towards an existential understanding is given within Jung's work itself. Thus: Jung's method is primarily hermeneutic-phenomenological; the psyche is not "mind" or an inner realm more or less linked to the body, but is the embodied life-world, and Jung's descriptions of it - of its autonomy, spatiality and bodiliness, for instance - achieve ontological clarity when it is articulated as Dasein; the self as the totality of the psyche is interpretated in terms of Dasein, and individuation involves differentiation, personalisation and appropriation within existence itself; the complexes, archetypally grounded, are the vital densities of incarnate life, ambiguously conscious and unconscious, known and lived; the archetypes are the fundamental necessities of psychological life, autonomous imaginal structures within which both body and world are founded. Imaginal autonomy is revealed ontically as the metaphorical reality of things, but since imaginal autonomy has no ground thought about psychological life is ultimately poetic. Where relevant, recent theoretical developments in analytical psychology were discussed, particularly the Developmental and Archetypal movements. A clinical study was presented to illustrate some of the main themes of the thesis. In conclusion, the main themes of an integrated phenomenological analytical psychology were outlined, and the central contributions of analytical psychology and existential phenomenology were highlighted.

O presente trabalho estuda a narrativa e a imagem como elementos da linguagem do brincar simbólico. Para isto, três crianças foram acompanhadas em um processo de psicoterapia por um período aproximado de um ano. O brincar simbólico das crianças na caixa de areia - sandplay - foi analisado em termos da organização narrativa e da construção de significado a partir da teoria e do método de Psicologia Analítica de C. G. Jung e da teoria narrativa de J. Bruner. Nosso estudo demonstra que o brincar simbólico é uma forma de linguagem e que através dele a criança constrói um texto o qual apresenta-se como uma narrativa ou como uma imagem; que este texto está repleto de elementos os quais aparecem como outras narrativas ou imagens que se interpõem às narrativas construídas pelas crianças. Mostra também que a criança organiza a sua experiência do mundo e a sua experiência da vida através deste texto. Finalmente, indica que o brincar simbólico tem uma função cognitiva de organizar a experiência de vida da criança.

The main topic of this diploma thesis is the form and content of jungian shadow archetype in contemporary western cinema. In the first chapters it introduces the basic concepts of analytical psychology, which will be used as the principal method for analysis of the selected films (Fight Club, Game, Black Swan, Fisher King). The key concept is that in the core of each story are hidden archetypal contents. According to jungians these are the main force behind emotional response of audience. In films they can be portrayed either directly ? by personification into a film characters whose numinosity is supported by film language ? or indirectly ? by narrative elements and character's functions. The thesis concentrates on both options and analyzes formal means which express psychic nature of the selected film's elements. It defines three phases of ego-shadow relationship which are vaguely similar to three acts structure. It examines shadow archetype's function in the story and in human psychology as well. The results are put into context of jungian concepts. Rather than creating a complex system, the thesis outlines another option how to think about film and film language, which is deeply rooted in human psychology.

Os debates atuais sobre a educação apontam grande dificuldade dos sistemas educativos em proporcionar um ensino de qualidade, respeitando a heterogeneidade e a individualidade na comunidade escolar. A razão, o conhecimento científico e técnico, e a especialidade, são fortemente valorizadas em nossa cultura, o que se reflete na área da educação. Assim, são oferecidos à criança estímulos intelectuais desde muito cedo, enquanto seu corpo, suas emoções, sua intuição vão sendo silenciadas. A Psicologia Junguiana, ao considerar, além do inconsciente pessoal do ser humano, a existência de um inconsciente coletivo, permite ir muito além da visão do homem como ser apenas racional. A observação da criança sob essa ótica, justifica a atenção ao seu corpo, seus sonhos, suas emoções, seu intelecto, sua espiritualidade e quantas outras dimensões se apresentem. A educação deve então atender todas as suas necessidades, visando uma formação integral. Com esse objetivo nasceu a Pedagogia Profunda, a qual considera a criança com suas múltiplas dimensões. Seu eixo teórico se baseia na Psicologia Profunda, integrando ainda princípios e práticas das Danças Circulares Sagradas e dos Toques Sutis. A Pedagogia Profunda não propõe uma metodologia de ensino, mas um aprimoramento do educador, de sua personalidade, de sua visão de ser humano e do seu conhecimento da criança. Além da dança e dos trabalhos corporais citados acima, ela inclui o trabalho com a matéria, por meio de técnicas artesanais e trabalhos manuais, assim como brincadeiras, jogos e confeção de brinquedos. Dessa forma, este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a aplicação dos pressupostos da Pedagogia Profunda na prática de uma docente de Educação Infantil e avaliar se a prática desenvolvida favorece o... / The present study was outline from the need to reconsider the purposes of education and the meaning of the schooling process. Current debates about education indicate great difficulty of educational systems to provide a quality educaiton, respecting the diversity and individuality in the school community. The reason, the scientific and technical knowledge, and specialty are highly valued in our culture, which is reflected in education. Thus, are offered to the child intellectual stimuli very early, while their body, their emotions, their intuition are silenced. Jungian Psychology, by considering, in addition to the personal unconscious of the human being, the existence of a collective unconscious, allows expanding the vision of man a rational only. The observation of the child from this perspective, justifies attention to their body, their dreams, their emotions, their intellect, their spirituality and how many other dimensions are presented. Education must then attend all their needs, aiming at a comprehensive education. With this goal was born Profound Pedagogy, which considers the child with its multiple dimensions. Its theoretical axis is based on Profound Psychology, still integrating the principles and practices of Sacred Circle Dances and Subtle Touches. The Profound Pedagogy does not propose a teaching methodology, but an enhancement of the educator, his personality, his vision of the human being and his knowledge of the child. Besides dancing and body works cited above, it includes working with matter, through artisan techniques and handwork, as well as jokes, games and toys confection. In this way, this study aimed to analyze the application of Profound Pedagogy's assumptions in a early childhood teacher's practice and evaluate whether the practice developed promotes service to diversity. It is featured as a case study, based on qualitative clinical methodology used in the methods of Life History, Narratives and Content Analysis...
