CONSCIOUSNESS AND ARCHETYPES: MECHANISMS OF SPIRITUAL IMPROVEMENT IN THE TEACHING OF K. G. YUNG

This article examines the theoretical and practical aspects of the concepts of the unconscious and archetypes within the framework of analytical psychology developed by Carl Gustav Jung. It analyzes the multi-layered structure of the psyche, the distinction between the personal and collective unconscious, the psychodynamic nature of archetypes, the mechanism of complexes, and the process of individuation as the central pathway to psychological and spiritual development. The relevance of Jungian theory to contemporary psychology and the humanities is also highlighted.
