pathology
Definition:
Pathology in Jungian psychology refers to psychological disturbances arising from unresolved inner conflicts, unintegrated archetypes, or disruptions in the ego-Self relationship. It often manifests as symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or compulsions.
Example:
Understanding pathology as a symbolic expression of inner imbalance helps clients address root causes rather than just symptoms. For example, anxiety might be explored as a signal of unacknowledged fears or unmet needs.
