Abstract

BARRETO, Marco Heleno. The ethical dimension of analytical psychology: individuation as "moral achievement". Psicol. clin. [online]. 2009, vol.21, n.1, pp. 91-105. ISSN 0103-5665.

The article exposes the centrality of the ethical dimension in Carl Gustav Jung's Analytical Psychology, through a careful reference to fundamental moments in the Jungian text, which are often ignored as to the importance they have to a correct understanding of the nature of the psychotherapeutic praxis proposed by Jung. The author also claims that the validity of Jungian clinics nowadays must be thought in the light of the (in)compatibility between this specific ethical dimension and the major trends which mold today the human way of being-in-the-world.

Keywords : Jung; analytical psychology; individuation; ethics.
