Revisiting Jung's Theory of Archetypes

Timothy B Sullivan. Psychodyn Psychiatry. 2024 Sep.

Abstract

Erik Goodwyn in this issue ("Demystifying Jung's 'Archetypes' with Embodied Cognition") argues for a reexamination of the clinical and neuropsychological relevance of Jungian archetypes. This assertion is examined with respect to the evidence Goodwyn provides as well as in the larger context of cognitive science as it is applied to theories rooted in past models of cognition.

Keywords: Jung; archetypes; cognitive science; dualism.
