ENTRE OPOSTOS E COMPLEMENTARIDADES: Autoconhecimento Pelos Tipos Psicológicos de Jung

Abstract

This study investigates, from the perspective of Analytical Psychology, how Jung's Psychological Types (1991) can contribute to the individuation process and provide support within Clinical, Educational, and Institutional Psychology. For this investigation, a brief diachronic study of Analytical Psychology and the developments of the individuation process in different spheres was conducted. Given contemporary psychic issues such as anxiety and massification, the study proves relevant as asupport tool for the practicing professional, aiming to collaborate with the integration of the Ego and Self and to boost the individuation process in different instances based on the identification of the individual's Attitudes and Functions. The discussion revealed Jungian typology as a key element for the integration of opposites, prevention of school failure, avoidance of the pathologization of differences, prevention of psychic disorders, and improvement of institutional performance. The methodology used for the study was qualitative and bibliographic in nature, highlighting the work Psychological Types (JUNG, 1991) as the main theoretical framework.
