ABSTRACT

The medical approach, which works so beautifully when the problem is medical, can deprive one of the joys of the inner voyage. The legal model, which works fine to compensate victims, cannot help to make sense of the agony and the ecstasy of inner life. The tragic, comic, epic and lyric genres are inherent in the human narrative; there is no treatment against it, and there is no villain doing it to people. Depth psychology is a way out of a kind of psychology that will only consider what is, what the feelings are, instead of looking at what they could be. The essential task of depth psychology is to find the images that reveal emotional truth. Getting rid of monarchy had never been imagined before the French Revolution, either. Some of the world's psychological wisdom is stored in each of the psyches and it is also stored in theories of psychology.
