psychosis
Definition:
Psychosis in Jungian terms is a state where the boundary between conscious and unconscious breaks down, leading to an overwhelming influx of unconscious material. This can result in hallucinations, delusions, or disorganised thinking.
Example:
Therapy aims to stabilise the ego and contain unconscious material, enabling gradual integration. For example, exploring symbolic meanings behind psychotic episodes may help clients reconnect with reality and their deeper psyche.
