Reaction Paper to Analytical Psychology


Today students turned in a summary and a reaction to an article concerning analytical psychology. Ai wrote a reaction that really got my attention.

This article was quite hard for me to read. There was a lot of jargon in this article. Some of the words are not in my dictionary, so it was hard for me to understand all of them. However, this kind of topic is very interesting for me. Actually I studied about Jung in high school, but it was very difficult to study, even in Japanese.

In the "synchronicity" paragraph, the author said, "Dreams thus can allude to future events as well as to past events." I agree with the point that dreams are affected by past events, but I think future events and dreams are not relevant. If future events and dreams have some relationship, it is not science any more. I realized that half of psychology is science, but the rest is not.
