CARVALHO, Lucas Augusto de; SILVA, Matheus Felipe Mendes de Sa e e HORTEGAS, Monica Giraldo. Archetype and cryptomnesia: a dialogue between Jung and Flournoy. Junguiana [online]. 2024, vol.42, e04. Epub 27-Jan-2025. ISSN 2595-1297. https://doi.org/10.70435/junguiana.v42.100.
Throughout history, there have been several encounters that have transformed the world. One was between Carl Jung and Théodore Flournoy, two thinkers who contributed to scientific psychology. Not everything is so clear about this friendship in the history of psychology. We seek to understand Flournoy’s influence on Jung’s research, especially on occultism, and how it was fundamental in guiding Jung’s search for the concept of the unconscious, based on the possible relationship between the concepts of cryptomnesia and archetype. Using a bibliographic methodology, we traced the initial relationship between occultism and the beginnings of psychology as a science, and how this had repercussions on the work of these two theorists. The Freudian legend persists, but more clues are given to show that Jung was a thinker who created his own psychology beyond the limits of psychoanalysis and independently of it.
