VARGAS, Nairo de Souza. Marriage and family as a path to individuation. Junguiana [online]. 2024, vol.42, e12.  Epub 17-Mar-2025. ISSN 2595-1297.  https://doi.org/10.70435/junguiana.v42.119.

Drawing on concepts from Jung’s Analytical Psychology and C. A. Byington’s Symbolic Psychology, the author emphasizes the importance of the conjugal relationship and family life as spaces that are richly conducive to individuation. Reflecting on his experience with couples and family therapy, he argues that these two institutions are so frequently chosen as a way of life by the vast majority of people precisely because they offer, for most, stimulating conditions for individuation.

Palavras-chave : marriage; family; individuation; humanization of archetypes; conjugal and familial Self.
