  • Title: Jung's view on myth and post-modern psychology.
    Author: Jones RA.
    Journal: J Anal Psychol; 2003 Nov; 48(5):619-28. PubMed ID: 14661376.
    Abstract:
    Post-modern psychology embodies two core themes, the social mind and the narrative self. Whereas the social-mind thesis seems diametrically opposed to Jung's position regarding human nature, the narrative-self thesis is associated with research and theorizing about personal myth and mythmaking in ways that could make contact with Jung's concerns. Jung's view is examined here with particular attention to McAdams' theory of narrative identity. It is suggested that the ostensible differences between Jung and post-modern psychology might reflect divergent interests, rather than necessarily irreconcilable worldviews.
