Zpuer Aeternus | Mythology | Carl Jung Puer aeternus From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Puer aeternus is Latin for eternal boy , used in mythology to designate a child-god who is forever young; psychologically, it is an older man whose emotional life has remained at an adolescent level. The puer typically leads a provisional life, due to the fear of being caught in a situation from which it might not be possible to escape. e covets independence and freedom, chafes at boundaries and limits, and tends to find any restriction intolerable. !"# Contents !hide# • " The puer in mythology • $ The puer in %ungian psychology o $."

    Complex, Comorbid, Contraindicated, and Confusing Patients Bill Dodson, M.D. Private Practice [email protected] Roberto Olivardia, Ph.D. Harvard Medical School [email protected] ADHD in the Shadows • Importance of comorbid disorders • ADHD often not even assessed at intake • ADHD vastly underdiagnosed, especially in adults • Even when ADHD is known it is clinically underappreciated Why did we think that ADHD went away in adolescence? • True hyperactivity was either never present or diminishes to mere restlessness after puberty. • People learn compensations (but is this remission?). • People with ADHD stop trying to do things in which they know they will fail. • People with ADHD drop out of society or end up in jail and are no longer available for studies. • “Helicopter Moms” compensate for their ADHD children, adolescents, and adults. Recognition and Diagnosis • Most clinicians who treat adults never consider the possibility of ADHD. • Less than 8% of psychiatrists and less than 3% of physicians who treat adults have any training in ADHD. Most report that they do not feel confident with either the diagnosis or treatment. (Eli Lilly Marketing Research) • ADHD in adults is an “orphan diagnosis” ignored by the APA, the DSM, and training programs 38 years after it was officially recognized to persist lifelong. It is Not Adequate to Merely Extend Childhood Criteria • Some symptoms diminish with age (e.g., hyperactivity becomes restlessness). • Some new symptoms emerge (sleep disturbances, reactive mood lability). • Life demands get harder. Adults with ADHD must do things that a child doesn’t…Love, Work, and raise kids (half of whom will have ADHD).

  • Dal Falso Se Al Puer Aeternus: La Riscoperta Del Mito Di Peter Pan
    SPEF - SCUOLA DI PSICOTERAPIA ERICH FROMM -PRATO Giuditta Perri Stefania Stefanelli DAL FALSO SE AL PUER AETERNUS: LA RISCOPERTA DEL MITO DI PETER PAN “Il mito è nulla che è tutto.” F. Pessoa Il nostro lavoro nasce dalla lettura del libro “ Il linguaggio simbolico” di E. Fromm. Affascinate da quanto letto ci siamo letteralmente “imbattute” in quello che è divenuto un vero e proprio mito moderno, Peter Pan. Iniziamo da quello che Fromm ci dice per quanto riguarda la genesi del simbolo. Che cos’è un simbolo? Un simbolo viene spesso definito come “qualcosa che sta al posto di qualcos’altro.” Nel linguaggio simbolico le esperienze interiori vengono espresse come se fossero esperienze sensoriali, come qualcosa che abbiamo fatto o subito nel mondo esteriore; in esso il mondo esterno è un simbolo del mondo interno, un simbolo per le nostre anime e le nostre menti. Il mito, come il sogno, presenta una storia che si svolge nello spazio e nel tempo e che esprime, in un linguaggio simbolico, concetti religiosi e filosofici, esperienze dell’anima in cui sta il vero significato del mito. La storia manifesta non è altro che una modalità comunicativa, essa contiene precise tracce del passato. Tra coloro che hanno permesso una interpretazione innovativa del mito, Fromm annovera in particolar modo Bachofen 1 e Freud. Il primo ha permesso di cogliere nel mito sia il significato religioso e psicologico, sia quello più squisitamente storico. Il secondo, basandosi sulla sua teoria dei sogni, ha permesso la lettura simbolica dei miti; Freud però sbagliava nel leggere in essi solo degli impulsi irrazionali o primitivi, e non la saggezza del passato.

  • Verge 10 Anna Richardson Broken Fragments
    Verge 10 Anna Richardson Broken Fragments of Immortality: Why People Will Always Love Peter Pan Elbow-deep into my research, I asked my fifty-four year old mother why she liked Peter Pan. She was visiting for the weekend, and while discussing my project had expressed her deep sentiments for Peter Pan. I was curious. I simply asked what it was about the story, and about the boy himself, that she found so appealing. She told me that she hadn’t wanted to grow up as a child, that Neverland had been so full of adventure and possibility. Frowning slightly, she said, “You know, I just was Peter Pan.” Chances are that many people, of varying ages, will answer similarly when asked about their feelings for Peter Pan. The boy who wouldn’t grow up has a firm grasp on the hearts and minds of generations of people across the globe who, being human, would give anything to stop time from steamrolling ahead, even if just for a few days. What is so fascinating about this phenomenon is that the story, the play, the movies, and the boy himself are inherently tragic, ridden with dilemmas and life-altering decisions. Peter is a “betwixt and between,” as author J. M. Barrie called him, part boy, part bird, part specter (Wiggins 95). Indeed, Peter Pan was not simply a character inked into being, living only on the page. He first came into existence via the childhood games of Barrie and the five Llewelyn Davies boys with whom Barrie had a strong personal relationship, becoming their main caregiver after their parents died.

Os contos de fadas representam os arquétipos em sua forma mais plena, concisa e simples. Nesse contexto, Peter Pan representa o arquétipo do ‘Puer Aeternus’, também conhecido como Eterno Adolescente ou Eterno Jovem. O homem que se identifica com este arquétipo se comporta de maneira adolescente, levando para a fase adulta características comuns à fase da adolescência e permanecendo, na maioria dos casos, dependente da mãe. Não obstante a cura do Puer seja sua união com seu extremo oposto, o arquétipo Senex, na história de Barrie o Puer, na figura do Peter Pan, vence o Senex, representado pelo Capitão Gancho, e o ciclo do masculino reinicia-se sem ser transformado. Peter Pan permanece num estado infantil de desenvolvimento vinculado ao problema do complexo materno.

  • Peter Pan Syndrome
    Peter Pan Syndrome drishtiias.com/printpdf/peter-pan-syndrome Why in News Recently, a special court in Mumbai granted bail to an accused of sexually assaulting a minor as he was suffering from Peter Pan Syndrome (PPS). A syndrome is a combination of symptoms and signs that together represent a disease process. Key Points About: PPS is a psychological condition that is used to describe an adult who is socially immature. People who develop similar behaviours of living life carefree, finding responsibilities challenging in adulthood, and basically never growing up suffer from PPS. The term was coined by psychologist Dan Kiley to explain the behaviour of such men who ‘refuse to grow’ and behave their age in 1983. Dan Kiley got the idea of PPS after noticing Peter Pan, a fictional character created by Scottish novelist James Matthew Barrie. Peter Pan was a care-free young boy, who never grew up. While the WHO (World Health Organization) does not recognise Peter Pan Syndrome as a health disorder, many experts believe it is a mental health condition that can affect one’s quality of life. Symptoms: PPS hasn’t officially been diagnosed as a health disorder, there are no clearly- defined symptoms or characteristics or even reasons which cause it. However, it could affect one’s daily routine, relationships, work ethic, and result in attitudinal changes. 1/2 People Affected: It can affect anyone, irrespective of gender, race or culture. However, it appears to be more common among men. It affects people who do not want or feel unable to grow up, people with the body of an adult but the mind of a child.

  • Peter Pan Syndrome
    Peter Pan syndrome June 25, 2021 In news Recently, the Bombay High Court granted bail to a 23-year-old rape accused on the ground that the accused suffered from a psychological condition known as Peter Pan Syndrome. The man allegedly sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl. What is Peter Pan Syndrome? It is a psychological condition that is used to describe an adult, more in men than women who are socially immature. In simple words, it can be called an overgrown child. More about Peter Pan Syndrome The term was coined by psychologist Dan Kiley to explain the behaviour of such men who ‘refuse to grow’ and behave their age. The term ‘Peter Pan Syndrome’ first appeared in 1983, in a book authored by Dr Dan Kiley titled ‘Peter Pan Syndrome: Men Who Have Never Grown Up’. He described it as a “social-psychological phenomenon”. The World Health Organisation (WHO) does not recognise Peter Pan Syndrome in its list of mental illnesses. The term has its origin in literature, a play called Peter and Wendy by Scottish playwright JM Barrie, who wrote this play in 1904 and a novel by the same name in 1911. Peter’s character is one of a care-free young boy, who never grows up. He features in several of Barrie’s books and plays, and has since been adapted in numerous films, television series and comics. It is said that people who develop similar behaviours of living life carefree, finding responsibilities challenging in adulthood, and basically, “never growing up” suffer from Peter Pan Syndrome.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH “TO LIVE WOULD BE AN AWFULLY BIG ADVENTURE”: MASCULINITY IN J.M. BARRIE’S PETER PAN AND ITS CINEMATIC ADAPTATIONS ALICIA GENCARELLI SUMMER 2017 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in English with honors in English Reviewed and approved* by the following: Garrett Sullivan Liberal Arts Research Professor of English Thesis Supervisor Marcy North English Honors Advisor Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT This thesis discusses the representation of masculinity in J.M. Barrie’s novel, Peter Pan, as well as in two of its cinematic adaptations: Disney’s Peter Pan and P.J. Hogan’s Peter Pan. In particular, I consider the question: What exactly keeps Peter from growing up and becoming a man? Furthermore, I examine the cultural ideals of masculinity contemporary to each work, and consider how they affected the work’s illustration of masculinity. Then, drawing upon adaptation theory, I argue that with each adaptation comes a slightly variant image of masculinity, producing new meanings within the overall narrative of Peter Pan. This discovery provides insight into the continued relevance of Peter Pan in Western society, and subsequently, how a Victorian children’s adventure fiction is adapted to reflect contemporary ideologies and values. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ......................................................................................... iii Introduction
