ABSTRACT

In The Fantasy Principle: Psychoanalysis of the Imagination, I state that “Jungian psychology is what I would call imaginology, and Jungian psychologists are imaginologists” (Adams 2004: 7). Imaginology is the study of the imagination, and imaginologists are students of the imagination. Other psychologists study drives, the ego, objects, or the self (Pine 1990). Jungian psychologists study images. The emphasis on the imagination is what is unique about Jungian psychology, which is an imaginal psychology.
