Discovering And Discussing ARCHETYPES JUNG In Theories & Practice

By Stacey Burt


While Jung may have led the force with regards to those creating and using archetypes in the past, there are also several other great thinkers like Freud and Erickson of past and present who have taken, or continue to take similar measures. Still, ARCHETYPES JUNG, or Jungian archetypes as most are known are essential aspects in discovering the modes behind certain types of behavior, and behavioral issues.

Archetype, the term itself is derived from modern philosophical and psychological research and theories. In realty, the word can have one of several meanings. For Jung, the main two archetypes were the innocent child, and the wise old man, it is after all clear that there can not be one without the other.

The basic definition is that of a pattern, or statement, often used in the process of identifying issues related to behavior, and behavior modification. Archetype can also be defined as a "collective consciousness." Although, this should not be confused with brainwashing. For example, while Charles Manson believed his group had a collective conscious, in reality most were simply being brainwashed by Manson to take actions most would have not taken otherwise.

These elements can often vary a great deal depending on therapist and client. While Jung believes in other archetypes, he sees these two as the most common. A statement with which most other psychoanalysts and therapists agree. Although, at times it may be necessary to incorporate other archetypes to get to the brunt of a specific issue, or problems related to behavior patterns.

After which, the client and therapist can come to an agreement and understand the best treatment possible for the situation. While Jung believes in a collective consciousness, the view is different from individuals building intentional societies. Of course, by living communally people always have people and all save together over time.

A good example of this is that of Charles Manson, a serial killer who brainwashed his followers to do horrid criminal acts, in which he landed a home in what some may call the intentional community of death row, with only one or two of the others having been freed on parole since the crimes were committed in 1969.

Often, these communities are subgroups of other organizations and groups with which most relate. For example, a group of dancers have recently established an intentional community in upstate New York. While there are many communities now evolving all over the world which will include residents of like body, mind and spirit. Most of which will be self-sustaining with residents providing all services, and bartering with other residents for food, drink, etc.

While group housing were often known as communes with all individuals living in one home; Intentional communities have now taken over in which like minded people build, or buy homes within one single community. Most often having known one another for quite some time. For, only individuals who know one another well would agree to create an entire living situation in which all residents provide the food, drink and services necessary to survive while living well off the grid.
