The Handbook of Jungian Psychology: Theory, Practice and Applications

by Renos K. Papadopoulos

I use the word finality intentionally, in order to avoid confusion with the concept of teleology. By finality, I mean merely the immanent psychological striving for a goal. Instead of ‘striving for a goal’ one could also say ‘sense of purpose’. All psychological phenomena have some such sense of purpose inherent in them. (Jung 1916/1948: par. 456)
