This article explores Carl Jung’s insights into psychological time, illustrating his distinctive approach from philosophical and clinical perspectives. Philosophically, influenced by Henri Bergson, Jung reconceptualizes time as an expression of libido—a dynamic life force marked by continuous transformation that fuels growth, creativity, and the path to individuation. Unlike Eastern philosophical views that often regard time as an illusion, Jung presents a more affirmative perspective, suggesting that our finite, time-bound experience allows for a complementary relationship with the infinite, ultimately facilitating a profound sense of wholeness. Clinically, Jung’s approach diverges from Freudian psychoanalysis by questioning the linear model of psychological development and adopting circular epistemologies to interpret neurotic symptoms. Key Jungian concepts, such as archetypes and the principle of synchronicity, introduce a trans-temporal dimension to the unconscious, where past, present, and future converge and mutually influence one another, transcending linear causality—an idea that intriguingly aligns with concepts in modern quantum physics. Finally, while Jungian psychology challenges everyday notions of time, it does not dismiss the importance of ordinary temporal frameworks. The stability of <i>Chronos</i> and the transcendence of <i>Kairos</i> are equally vital, and a healthy psyche depends on maintaining a balanced harmony between them.</p><p>La distinction entre le temps physique et le temps psychologique intrigue les chercheurs depuis le XXe siècle.

Du côté philosophique, influencé par Henri Bergson, Jung reconceptualise le temps comme une expression de la libido, une force vitale dynamique marquée par une transformation continue qui alimente la croissance, la créativité et le chemin vers l'individuation. Contrairement aux philosophies orientales qui considèrent souvent le temps comme une illusion, Jung présente une perspective plus positive, suggérant que notre expérience finie et limitée dans le temps permet une relation complémentaire avec l'infini, facilitant en fin de compte un profond sentiment de plénitude. Sur le plan clinique, l'approche de Jung diverge de la psychanalyse freudienne en remettant en question le modèle linéaire du développement psychologique et en adoptant des épistémologies circulaires afin de mieux interpréter les symptômes névrotiques.

Focusing on girls, the author suggests that the female hero plays an underexposed yet vital role in girls' individuation. The female hero is the female counterpart to the male hero, which in a patriarchal culture has been commonly assumed to be the source of support at this stage. It enables girls—supported by father and imagination—to liberate themselves and meet the demands for adjustment to the fatherly world while gendering their ego as feminine with an openness to the other sex where opposites are at play. Based in classical and post-Jungian theory, the author presents empirical material gathered during anthropological fieldwork in a Copenhagen primary school and includes dream, drawing and narrative to show how the female hero emerges and becomes an important element in resolving the developmental and individuation crisis girls may encounter as they enter into the educational system and venture further out into the world. A client case connects un-resolve in preschool to a later mid-life crisis.</p><p>Cet article avance une nouvelle perspective sur l'individuation précoce, par exemple en considérant les cauchemars des enfants d'âge préscolaire en tant que l'expression d'une première crise d'individuation faisant partie du processus de séparation entre l'enfant et la symbiose avec la mère contenante/maternelle. En se concentrant sur un groupe de filles, l'auteur suggère que l'héroïne féminine joue un rôle sous-exposé et pourtant vital dans l'individuation chez les filles. L'héroïne féminine est le pendant du héros masculin qui, dans une culture patriarcale, a été généralement considérée comme la source de soutien à ce stade. Elle permet aux filles—soutenues par une idée du père et par l'imagination – de se libérer et de répondre aux exigences d'adaptation au monde paternel tout en confirmant à leur ego sa dimension féminine avec une ouverture à l'autre sexe dans un contexte où les opposés sont en jeu. S'appuyant sur la théorie classique et post-jungienne, l'auteur présente un d'matériel recueilli au cours d'un travail de terrain anthropologique dans une école primaire de Copenhague et utilise le rêve, le dessin et la narration pour démontrer comment l'héroïne féminine émerge et devient un élément important pour la résolution d'une crise de développement et d'individuation que les filles peuvent rencontrer à l'entrée dans le système éducatif ou quand elles s'aventurent dans le monde social. Le cas d'une patiente relie l'absence de résolution à l'âge préscolaire à une crise plus tardive à l'âge mûr.</p><p>Dieser Aufsatz bietet eine neue Perspektive auf die frühe Individuation, indem er beispielsweise Albträume von Vorschulkindern als Ausdruck einer ersten Individuationskrise und als Teil der Trennung des","PeriodicalId":45420,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY","volume":"70 2","pages":"277-299"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143770043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a closer look at Jung’s earlier writings reveals that his engagement with alchemical literature started much earlier than is often acknowledged. Imagery from the dream-visions of the alchemist Zosimos of Panopolis, first discussed in detail by Jung in his 1937 lecture “Einige Bemerkungen zu den Visionen des Zosimos” (1938), had already caught Jung’s attention decades before, in <i>Wandlungen und Symbole der Libido</i> (1912). This imagery also seems to be present in Jung’s self-induced fantasies which culminated in <i>Liber Novus</i> (<i>The Red Book</i>). By investigating Jung’s receptions of Zosimos’ writings in <i>Wandlungen und Symbole der Libido</i> and <i>Liber Novus</i>, this article intends to challenge the narrative that Jung only started building a meaningful relationship with alchemical literature in the 1920s and to understand why this view became so common. This paper also argues that, while <i>Liber Novus</i> has been a great source of insight into Jung’s writings that followed his “confrontation with the unconscious”, it can also illuminate parts of Jung’s work prior to this experience that have been neglected.</p><p>On considère en général que Jung ne commença à s’intéresser à l’alchimie qu’en 1928, lorsque Richard Wilhelm lui envoya sa traduction de l’ouvrage sur un mythe chinois intitulé, <i>Le Mystère de la fleur d'or</i>. Cependant, un examen plus précis des écrits antérieurs de Jung montre que son engagement dans la littérature alchimique a commencé bien plus tôt qu’on ne le pense souvent. Or les images transmises des rêves de l’alchimiste Zosimos de Panopolis, discutées en détail pour la première fois par Jung dans ses « Einige Bemerkungen zu den Visionen des Zosimos » (1937), avait déjà attiré l’attention de Jung des décennies auparavant, dans <i>Transformations et symboles de la libido</i> (1912). Ces images semblent également être présentes dans les fantasmes auto-induits de Jung qui ont culminé dans le Livre rouge. En étudiant la réaction de Jung devant les écrits de Zosimos telle qu’il la décrit dans <i>Transformations et symboles de la libido</i> et dans le Livre rouge, cet article tend à remettre en question l’idée que Jung ne s’était pas penché sérieusement sur la littérature alchimique avent les années 1920 et d’autre part, tient à comprendre pourquoi ce point de vue est devenu si courant. L’article soutient également la thèse que bien que le Livre rouge ait été une source incontournable de compréhension des écrits de Jung qui ont suivi sa « confrontation avec l’inconscient », il tache également de signaler les parties de l’œuvre de Jung antérieures à cette expérience qui ont été négligées.</p><p>Eine verbreitete Annahme über Jung ist, daß sein Interesse an Alchemie erst 1928 begann, als ihm die chinesische Schrift <i>Das Geheim","PeriodicalId":45420,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY","volume":"70 2","pages":"194-216"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143770634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
