PENNA, Eloisa M. D.  y  ARAUJO, Felícia Rodrigues R. S.. Adultecence: On the way to maturity in the contemporary world. Junguiana [online]. 2021, vol.39, n.1, pp. 167-178. ISSN 2595-1297.

This article is oriented to the reflection on the transition from adolescence to adulthood, which in some cases can be experienced with great difficulty. The term adultecence is a very recent neologism, used to name the prolongation of adolescence and the difficulty in entering adult life. The reflection on this problem relies on the discussion of the archetypal dynamics at this time of development and on the consideration of aspects of contemporary culture that are influential and relevant in the lives of young people today. The articulation between the forces of the archetypes Great Mother, Father, Alterity, Hero, Puer-Senex and Eros, add to the influences of the aspects of contemporary culture, forming a complex plot of interactions, which can favor or hinder entry into adult life.

Palabras clave : Adultecence; Adolescence; Puer-senex; Hero; Eros; Individuation.
