REVIEW OF JUNGUIAN PSYCHOLOGY AND ITS POSSIBLE LINKS TO COMPLEX THINKING: IN SEARCH OF COMPLEX PSYCHOTHERAPY

Abstract

This article develops several foundations of the Jungian psychology from the direct elaborations of its creator the Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung, perspective also called, by many psychologists of this theory, like complex psychology. At the same time, some key ideas regarding Edgar Morin's complex thinking are presented, whose sustenance is derived from the complexity paradigm. In this exercise are found guidelines that could provide an epistemological support to some Jungian concepts, proposing, in turn, another look at this psychological current. Thus, as Jung proposed, it is understood that the recognition of the unconscious depths is as necessary for the subject as the understanding of his conscious and the dynamics between both. Recalling that, according to the complex thinking, it is in the concurrence, from where a more real approach towards the understanding of the systems is possible. It is understood then that the unconscious should not be explored exclusively in relation to that which afflicts the subject, as a repetition (circular), but also as to its creative facet —unconscious that with the help of consciousness, it becomes recursive (spiral) and source of healing.
