Archetypal Psychology Quotes

“Archetypal psychology further claims that it is mainly through the wounds in human life that the gods enter (rather than through pronouncedly sacred or mystical events), because pathology is the most palpable manner of bearing witness to the powers beyond ego control and the insufficiency of the ego perspective.”

“The point of departure for the re-visioning of psychopathology is a statement from Jung (CW 13: 54): “The gods have become diseases; Zeus no longer rules Olympus but rather the solar plexus, and produces curious specimens for the doctor’s consulting room.”
