ABSTRACT

I would like to conclude with a look at healing from an Africanist perspective. I remember hearing many times over the years since my initial involvement with Jungian psychology that it was for the privileged. It did not belong to ordinary individuals as they were either too poor, too lacking in intelligence, or too emotionally unavailable to enter into the necessary work Jungian analysis required. I think these are old assumptions still lurking in the Jungian collective Shadow that disinvites others from taking part in Jungian analysis and analytical training.
