ABSTRACT
This chapter studies how, from the First World War onwards, C.G. Jung reformulated his psychotherapeutic procedure on the basis of his own self-experimentation. It shows how, through doing so, he shifted the aim of psychotherapy from solely being to cure pathology to higher psychological and spiritual development and, in so doing, proposed a new notion of humanity. It studies a series of Jung’s cases, demonstrating how he reformulated the “offer” of psychotherapy, how individuals took it up, and how this helped to shape the social role of the psychotherapeutic patient.
