The archetype is also a concept of psychologist Carl Gustav Jung. In this context, archetypes are innate prototypes for ideas, which may subsequently become involved in the interpretation of observed phenomena. A group of memories and interpretations closely associated with an archetype is called a complex, and may be named for its central archetype (e.g. "mother complex"). Jung often seemed to view the archetypes as sort of psychological organs, directly analogous to our physical, bodily organs: both being morphological givens for the speci ...

It has its origin in Mindell’s observation that nighttime dreams both mirrored and were mirrored in his clients’ somatic experiences, particularly physical symptoms. He generalized the term “dreaming” to include any aspect of experience that, while possibly differing from consensus views of reality, was coherent with a person’s dreams, fantasies, and somatic experience, as well as the unintentional but meaningful signals t ...

psychological astrology (astro-psychology): Combination of horoscopic astrology (see astrologic medicine) and Jungian psychology. psychology of evil: Nascent Christian psychological philosophy endorsed by M. (Morgan) Scott Peck, M.D.

Peck is the author of The Road Less Traveled: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth (Simon & Schuster, 1979), People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing Human Evil (Simon & Schuster, 1983), Further Along The Road Less Traveled: The Unending Journey Toward Spiritual Growth (Simon & Schuster, 1993), In Heaven as on Earth: A Vision of the Afterlife, and The Road Less Traveled and Beyond: Spiritual Growth in an Age of Anxiety (Simon & Schuster, 1997).

In The Road Less Traveled (p. 273), Peck equated laziness with original sin,a condition that Christianity ascribes to the first human's act of disobedience to God. Peck stated that the lazy part of the self...may actually be the devil. In People of the Lie, which he called a dangerous book, Peck claimed that he had met Satan. He stated: As well as being the Father of Lies, Satan may be said to be a spirit of mental illness. In Further Along The Road Less Traveled, he asserts (pp. 186-187): Spiritual/religious ideas and concepts are necessary in the treatment of many people....I realized that there was no way to treat...people (with phobias) effectively without trying to convert them to a more benign worldview: a view of the world...as...at least...a place in which they....had some kind of protection in the form of God's grace.

Human beings' ability to manipulate symbols allows them to explore the relationships between ideas, things, concepts, and qualities - far beyond the explorations of which any other species on earth is capable. The discipline of semiotics studies symbols and symbol systems in general; semantics is specifically concerned with the main meaning of words or other linguistic units. Literary works are often admired for their artful use of symbolism, i.e. the use of words, phrases and situations to evoke ideas and feelings beyond their plain ...
