PESSOA, Gustavo. The psychology of the other: the trick of diversity and the difficulty in talking about one's self. Junguiana [online]. 2022, vol.40, n.3, pp. 11-24. ISSN 2595-1297.

The aim of this article is to problematize the ideas of the other and of difference. By exploring the use of the term diversity, a questioning begins about what psychic functioning underlies the exaltation of so-called diverse people. Taking concepts from the social sciences, especially the ideas of coloniality and heteropatriarchy, a possibility of understanding the notions of the other and of diversity in analytical psychology is articulated. The theoretical frame of cultural complexes is used for this purpose. The perspective of the materiality of the other is affirmed, thus revealing the narcissistic character of observing and listening to the other from an abstract perspective that only benefits one's own development.

Palavras-chave : diversity; normativity; coloniality; heteropatriarchy; analytical psychology.
