ABSTRACT
The cultural complex theory offers a rich avenue for cross-discipline research, for exploring cultural factors in the life of the group and individual psyche, and for bringing Jungian concepts, tools, and ideas to scientific inquiry outside of the Jungian community. Jung often wrote about the collective psyche in such volumes as Civilization in Transition and Man and His Symbols with essays that explored the rise of Nazism, differences in national character, thoughts about Europe "after the catastrophe," and the differences between cultures. The main goal of the research into cultural complexes is to explore that part of the individual and group psyche which swims in the history, memory, affect, images, thought patterns, and behavior of past generations of peoples in a particular region. For some time, interested in the interface of mythology, politics, and psyche – an interface that obviously is as much about the collective psyche as it is about the individual psyche.
