Homoeopathy and jungian psychology: kindred spirits

Abstract

There is a substantial resonance between jungian psychology and homoeopathic medicine. In the latter, we seek to understand the patient in his or her totality by virtue of individualizing features, which guide us to the similar medicine. Likewise in Jungian psychology, the symbolic language of the unconscious such as is revealed to us in dreams, active imagination and synchronicity - is a reflection of the aspects of the individual still to be discovered. The goal is the same: realization of the potential of each individual nature of these disciplines in some depth, by way of the exploration the topic of suffering, the mirror as metaphor and alchemical correlates.
