Abstract
ABSTRACT Treatment of schizophrenia and other psychotic illnesses primarily uses antipsychotic medication. Compared to other common mental health conditions, the opportunities for psychotherapy in psychosis are limited. Jung and the post-Jungians considered that psychotherapy of psychosis is possible, supported by using creative arts and other individualized treatments. Moreover, they felt there was a tremendous creative potential within the symptoms of psychosis that could help patients develop and learn about themselves. This paper discusses the creative potential within psychosis and how it might be treated by reviewing Jungian literature and considering contemporary evidence for an analytical psychology understanding.
期刊介绍:
Jung Journal: Culture & Psyche is an international quarterly published by the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, one of the oldest institutions in America dedicated to Jungian studies and analytic training. Founded in 1979 by John Beebe under the title The San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal, Jung Journal has evolved from a local journal of book and film reviews to one that attracts readers and contributors worldwide--from the Academy, the arts, and from Jungian analyst-scholars. Featuring peer-reviewed scholarly articles, poetry, art, book and film reviews, and obituaries, Jung Journal offers a dialogue between culture--as reflected in art.
