What is Jungian psychotherapy or analysis?
Jungian psychotherapy/analysis is a way of working with life issues first developed by C. G. Jung. This approach stresses the importance of working with the unconscious and views symptoms not just as problems to be gotten rid of but as keys to understanding the process which will lead to resolution, transformation and individuation. Life patterns, relationships, dreams, body symptoms and synchronistic events are also part of the raw material of the process. There is no definitive distinction between psychotherapy and analysis but psychotherapy tends to be more problem focused and time limited, whereas analysis is more open ended, in-depth and inclusive. Sessions are typically once or twice a week but may be as infrequent as biweekly or more depending on the needs and process of the individual. See: Who was C.G.Jung?
