These are Jungian terms used to describe parts of the psyche. They are etymologically related to words like "animated" and "animous" and "animosity". The word animus in Latin means soul, spirit or courage. You can see that if we use the word "animosity" to mean "bitter hostility or open enmity; active hatred", as according to the dictionary, then the "courage" aspect of the animus or soul is being emphasized and has "gone wrong". This is a key to understanding the woman's animus, her inner male. The word anima is more lately derived and may be the matter of going back and adding a feminine Latin ending to animus, to become anima. This represents the inner female found within the psyche of a male. Jung himself did not expect everyone to understand his concepts of the animus and the anima, and particularly not men, I think, but we can explore this concept and gain much self knowledge as we endeavor to understand it to the best of our abilities. My favorite Jungian writer is Marie Louise von Franz, as most of you know (!) Somehow I like it when a brilliant, rational woman with a PhD describes things having to do with relationships because when the men do it, they have a set of unspoken assumptions that can leave me feeling like I'm left out in the dark. Often they seem to be writing just to each other, as well. This was the case for many centuries anyway. Von Franz usually says it clearly. This is how Von Franz explain the animus in a woman. back to the top THE ANIMUS "The male personification of the unconscious in woman -- the animus -- exhibits both good and bad aspects, as does the anima in man. But the animus does not so often appear in the form of an erotic fantasy or mood [like the anima]; it is more apt to take the form of a hidden "sacred" conviction. When such a conviction is preached with a loud, insistent, masculine voice or imposed on others by means of brutal emotional scenes, the underlying masculinity in a woman is easily recognized. However, even in a woman who is outwardly very feminine the animus can be an equally hard, inexorable power. One may suddenly find oneself up against something in a woman that is obstinate and cold. [emphasis mine] According to von Franz, these are some of the favorite themes of the Animus. "The only thing in the world that I want is love, and he does not love me." "In this situation there are only two possibilities -- and both are equally bad." She explains that the animus never believes in exceptions. "One can rarely contradict an animus opinion." she says, "because it is usually right in a general way; yet it seldom seems to fit the individual situation." She continues, "It is apt to be an opinion that seems reasonable but beside the point." How is the animus formed in a woman? How is the anima formed in a man? They are shaped by relating to and being in the presence of the parent of the opposite sex. The man's anima takes form through relating with the mother. The woman's animus takes form through influence by the father. Von Franz puts it this way: "The father endows his daughter's animus with the special coloring of unarguable, incontestably 'true' convictions -- convictions that never include the personal reality of the woman herself as she actually is." I think these things are worth contemplating. These convictions are buried deeply in us and we are usually not conscious that we have these attitudes, let alone that they are based on unexamined assumptions. back to the top THE DARK ANIMUS (NEGATIVE) If the animus from the father is negative or dark, it may take the form of the archetypal Dark Stranger, someone like Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights or Beethoven's father as depicted in the film Immortal Beloved. In this form it lures a woman away from any real relationships and particularly those with a man. Von Franz describes this state of consciousness as a "cocoon of dreamy thoughts, filled with desire and judgments about how things 'ought to be', which cut a woman off from the reality of life." These are some of the other characteristics of a negative animus: brutality recklessness empty talk silent, obstinate, evil ideas There is a more destructive side to this dark animus as well. "By nursing secret destructive attitudes," von Franz explains, "a wife can drive her husband, and a mother her children, into illness, accident, or even death." I once read for a girl who will spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair. She said she "always knew" she would have a near fatal accident driving over a bridge near her home (in a small town in the northwest). One of her brothers died a tragic death as well. Now a younger sister is threatened with drug abuse. I remember suggesting to my client that she find out why her mother was destroying her own children. To my horror, she registered no reaction to this statement which I had said to shock her into the reality of this dangerous situation. Von Franz continues, "she may decide to keep her children from marrying -- a deeply hidden form of evil that rarely comes to the surface of the mother's conscious mind." I think M. Scott Peck deals with in The Road Less Traveled as well. Then she gives a memorable example: "A naive old woman once said to me, while showing me a picture of her son, who was drowned when he was 27, 'I prefer it this way; it's better than giving him away to another woman.' " This is how the animus talks inside in the dark way. "In the depths of the woman's being, the animus whispers: 'You are hopeless. What's the use of trying? There is no point in doing anything. Life will never change for the better.'" back to the top ANIMUS AND ANIMA TOGETHER - A GALLERY ANIMA AND ANIMUS FIGURES The characters played by Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp in the film Chocolat are archetypal figures, the animus and the anima. This is what gave the movie its enchanting aspect, its magical feel and its deep, delightful spell casting. Let's learn more. Here are some carefully chosen works of art depicting the anima and animus together. As you notice in the individuation process, the more abstract and conceptual the anima or animus, the more individuation and enlightenment are present. The images I've chosen reflect an elevated perception of and relation to the anima or animus (i.e., no Muscle Men). Anima and Animus by Larysa Rybchynska Anima and Animus by Kazuhisa Nagato Anima and Animus by Ruth Thorne-Thomsen THE POSITIVE ANIMUS (LIGHT) Jung tells us that Sleeping Beauty is a story about a woman awakening to her animus. The animus tends to produce opinions in women. The creative woman in good relationship with her animus may be thoroughly feminine but have "invincible character and speak with power". She may have strong beliefs in what is right and wrong. The animus isn't meant to be negative. When properly developed, it can build a bridge to the Self through creative activity. The positive qualities of the animus are: initiative courage objectivity spiritual wisdom It is a difficult task to develop a positive relationship with the animus. It can take much time and genuine suffering as it requires conscious attention. "But," explains von Franz, "if [the woman] realizes who and what her animus is and what he does to her, and if she faces these realities instead of allowing herself to be possessed, her animus can turn into an invaluable inner companion." The key to this process is that a woman must question the sacredness of her own convictions. Only then can she accept higher wisdom from the unconscious that contradicts the opinions of her animus. back to the top THE ANIMA - GREAT WORKING DEFINITIONS Anima: [according to Marie Louise von Franz] "A personification of all feminine psychological tendencies in a man's psyche, such as vague feelings and moods, prophetic hunches, receptiveness to the irrational, capacity for personal love, feeling for nature, and -- last but not least -- his relation to the unconscious. It is no mere chance that in olden times priestesses (like the Greek Sibyl) were used to fathom the divine will and to make connection with the gods." The Sibyl If you will read the description of the Sibyl in Robert Graves' masterpiece I, Claudius, you may see how a man relates to his inner world before the mediating light of the anima. In the macrocosm, the Sibyl played an anima role for Roman civilization. She is the perfect compliment to the ultra-rational Roman! I believe that Graves was going through a dark experience with a woman at the time the wrote the book as well. Anima: [femme fatale according to Bill Taggart] "..

  • Century Feminism: a Jungian Exploration of the Feminine Self
    20th Century Feminism: A Jungian Exploration of The Feminine Self by Christopher Alan Snellgrove A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama August 4, 2012 Keywords: Carl Jung, Virginia Woolf, Toni Morrison, Margaret Atwood, Archetypes Copyright 2012 by Christopher Alan Snellgrove Approved by Jonathan Bolton, Chair, Associate Professor of English Dan Latimer, Professor Emeritus of English Susana Morris, Assistant Professor of English Abstract The following work uses the theories and methods provided by Carl Jung as a way of analyzing works by three women authors: Virginia Woolf’s Orlando, Toni Morrison’s Beloved, and Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. The primary Jungian notion featured is that of self-actualization—the process by which a person has achieved a sense of wholeness uniting their body and mind to the greater world. Specifically, I examine how the protagonists and antagonists of these texts either complete their Jungian journey towards actualized wholeness. In order to do this, I focus greatly on Jung’s notion of archetypes, and how they either help or hinder the journey that these women are on. A large part of the analysis centers on how actualization might be defined in feminine terms, by women living in a world of patriarchal control. As such, this work continues the endeavors of other Post-Jungians to “rescue” Jung from his own patriarchal leanings, using his otherwise egalitarian theories as a way of critiquing patriarchy and envisioning sexual equality. Jung, then, becomes an interesting bridge between first, second, and third-wave feminism, as well as a bridge between modernism and post-modernism.

Abstract: The concept of the primary self and antiself, more precisely known as enantiodromia,is one of the psychological notion with which W.B. Yeats was almost obsessed. His literary work bears testimony to the fact that he was fascinated by Carl Gustav Jung’s psychological theory of anima and animus. In ancient Chinese philosophy the cosmological notion of yang and yin conforms to the theory of enantiodromia, and Yeats’s philosophical creeds. Yang represents the sunny side and yin stands for the shady side of nature. To attain a harmonious position an appropriate combination of these contrasting qualities is essential.” Anashuya and Vijaya” is a dramatic poem written by Yeats which highlights the theme of double identity or conflict of yang and yin in the protagonist’s character. Ostensibly the two conflicting poles of Anashuya’s character can be interpreted in the light of this theory. This article is an attempt to delve deep into the character of Anashaya and unravel the conflict of yang and yin to demonstrate how it created her double identity.

  • Jung on Astrology
    Jung on Astrology Jung on Astrology brings together C. G. Jung’s thoughts on astrology in a single volume for the fi rst time, signifi cantly adding to our understanding of his work. Jung’s Collected Works , seminars, and letters contain numerous discussions of this ancient divinatory system, and Jung himself used astrological horoscopes as a diagnostic tool in his analytic practice. Understood in terms of his own psychology as a symbolic representation of the archetypes of the collective unconscious, Jung found in astrology a wealth of spiritual and psychological meaning and suggested it represents the “sum of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity.” The selections and editorial introductions by Safron Rossi and Keiron Le Grice address topics that were of critical importance to Jung – such as the archetypal symbolism in astrology, the precession of the equinoxes and astrological ages, astrology as a form of synchronicity and acausal correspondence, the qualitative nature of time, and the experience of astrological fate – allowing readers to assess astrology’s place within the larger corpus of Jung’s work and its value as a source of symbolic meaning for our time. The book will be of great interest to analytical psychologists, Jungian psy- chotherapists, and academics and students of depth psychology and Jungian and post-Jungian studies, as well as to astrologers and therapists of other orientations, especially transpersonal. Safron Rossi, PhD, is a Professor of mythology and depth psychology in the Jungian and Archetypal Studies specialization at Pacifi ca Graduate Institute, Cali- fornia. For many years she was curator of the Joseph Campbell and James Hillman manuscript collections.

Thesis Adv ser - / I ii 1352148 COPYRIGHT by Raymond Perry, Jr. July, 1989 PREFACE A study of the role of unconscious personality variables in career and relationship development was completed. The unconscious variables selected for this study are based on the theories of C. G. Jung. Psychological types, and masculine and feminine archetypes identified in this study were generalized from Jung's original theories. A decision was made to develop questionnaires that would enable the researcher to assess masculine and feminine archetypal preferences. These assessment questionnaires were developed as part of a pilot study. The final study is based on a sample of 74 males and 91 females who were enrolled at three colleges and universities in a Southwestern state. All participants in this study completed the following psychological instruments; Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, Self-Directed Search, Masculine or Feminine Archetype Questionnaire, and a Projected-Masculine or Projected-Feminine Archetype Questionnaire. Statistical and descriptive procedures were used to analyze nine hypotheses. Difficulties and limitations inherent in a study of conscious correlates of unconscious personality variables are evident in the results. The iii findings in this study may have limited practical application at this time.

  • Self Individuation Process in the Main Character of Black Swan Movie
    SELF INDIVIDUATION PROCESS IN THE MAIN CHARACTER OF BLACK SWAN MOVIE YohanaFebry Chris Suprapto Faculty of Humanity, Diponegoro University ABSTRACT Black Swan movie directed by Darren Aronofsky is a movie which includes many psychological aspects in it. This movie tells us about a journey to find the true self of the main character named Nina Sayers. The writer uses library research in collecting the data. The objectives of this thesis are to describe both intrinsic aspects which include narrative (theme, character, setting and conflict) and cinematic elements (mise-en-scene, camera distance, and sound) and to explain extrinsic aspects. To analyze the extrinsic aspects of the movie, the writer usespsychological approach. The writer analyses how Nina finds her true self related to Carl Jung theory about self individuation process. There are four kinds of archetypes in order to acknowledge the self individuation process. They are “persona”, “shadow”, “anima and animus”, and “Self”. Eventually, the writer finds that Nina does not experience those four archetypes. The result of this thesis is the “shadow” and “persona” are two archetypes which dominate Nina. It can be stated that the main character does not succeed in the process of self individuation proposed by Carl Gustav Jung. Keyword: life, journey, the true self, analytical psychology, self-individuation, archetype INTRODUCTION Literature has become an important part of human beings for ages. It develops that literature not only become part of human’s being life but also lifestyle for the consumer. As time goes by, technology also improves dramatically that literature can be enjoyed through film. The film functions as a media to depict the imagination, ideas, thoughts, feelings, or information toward the viewer.

Jung’s mythopoetic tension between symbolism and enactments with the feminine and Freud’s supposition that a denial of the feminine was necessary for psychological and emotional development appeared to be perpetuating a social problem continuing in current times. Across affective behavior and narrative within stories of late procreative desire, dream journals and Word Association Tests of eight participants was the memory of a male sibling who had enjoyed primacy of place in the parental home over the daughter. The female body with a voice was missing in the one-sided perspectives of Analytical Psychology and Psychoanalysis on the subject of the feminine, until a whole view of psyche’s discontents in Feminist inspired Psychoanalytic theories from both schools on the female body were included. Freud and Jung’s views became evidence of patriarchy as background while extension of Feminist inspired psychoanalytical thinking, Queer theories and Creation Myth allowed new meanings of the embodied feminine to emerge through a recapitulation of a union of opposites as a union of epistemology and ethos.

  • The Lens of the Anima and What It Sees John Ryan Haule
    Three The Lens of The Anima And What It Sees John Ryan Haule www.jrhaule.net I have been describing a Jungian approach to Romantic Love, now, for two hours without even mentioning the most obvious of Jung’s concepts, anima and animus. I find the general understanding of anima and animus obscures the nature of erotic love. Avoiding the words in order to remain faithful to the spirit of Jung, I’ve tried to keep to the facts of experience -- the unitive dimension of Eros (the Love Potion) and its distancing component (the Naked Sword). In the process, I have hinted at a reinterpretation of two fundamental Jungian ideas, persona and Self. Now it’s time to let you in on my intentions. I think that one of the real drawbacks of Jungian psychology is its almost single-minded determination to explain everything in terms of my unique and separate psyche. All the dynamics between ego, persona, shadow, anima, and Self are described intra-psychically -- that is as forces that are seeking balance within a single, more-or-less isolated human soul. It does a very good job of this. I have no quarrel with the doctrine as far as it goes. But it only accounts for me. It has nothing to say about us. Here’s the central contradiction. Everything Jung learned about the human psyche, and everything all of us do in our consulting rooms, requires the interaction of at least two psyches. Analysis is an interpersonal project. But our language for it has a solipsistic flavor.

    JUNGIAN THERAPY COMPANION WEBSITE MATERIAL Accompanying THEORIES AND STRATEGIES IN COUNSELING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY (FIFTH EDITION) By RICHARD K. JAMES, PROFESSOR And BURL E. GILLILAND, PROFESSOR EMERITUS Both at the University of Memphis Memphis, Tennessee Allyn and Bacon Boston 1 COMPANION WEBSITE NUMBER 2 – JUNGIAN THERAPY Fundamental Tenets HISTORY Carl Gustav Jung was born in Kesswil, Switzerland, in 1875, the only child of a Swiss clergyman. Jung's early family life undoubtedly influenced his theory. On one side was his worldly and outgoing mother, on the other a staid and pious father. He also had eight uncles, all of whom were clergymen in the Swiss Reformed church. Certainly, the heavy emphasis placed on religion by his family influenced the spiritual aspects of his theory, although Jung stated that for a great portion of his youth he was bored by it. Jung was taught to read Latin at an early age by his father; this along with his mother's reading to him about exotic religions would seem to account for his early and abiding interest in history and his facility with ancient languages (Smith & Vetter, 1991, p. 96). As a young man he was intrigued by spirituality and the occult and was struck by the repetitious themes, symbols, anecdotes, and occurrences of spiritualistic phenomena that he found in a variety of writings and reported experiences. These repetitious themes came from all over the world and throughout recorded history. They were so similar that they defied rational explanation. Jung's experiences with the supernatural in his own home caused him to attend seances for more than two years and culminated in the writing of his doctoral dissertation in 1902.
