Abstract
ABSTRACT The classical figure of Cassandra represents a person with an unusual capacity to recognize that which the collective has repressed or denied. The Cassandra complex is a Jungian concept that emphasizes the problematic aspects of such a person’s psychology. Seen from a broader perspective, this complex has another side. The collective who is unable to hear the “Cassandra” individual might be over identified with Apollonian values of order, harmony, and reason. In order to work on the Cassandra complex such that new growth can occur, both the Cassandra and the Apollonian sides of the complex need to develop and change.
期刊介绍：
Jung Journal: Culture & Psyche is an international quarterly published by the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, one of the oldest institutions in America dedicated to Jungian studies and analytic training. Founded in 1979 by John Beebe under the title The San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal, Jung Journal has evolved from a local journal of book and film reviews to one that attracts readers and contributors worldwide--from the Academy, the arts, and from Jungian analyst-scholars. Featuring peer-reviewed scholarly articles, poetry, art, book and film reviews, and obituaries, Jung Journal offers a dialogue between culture--as reflected in art.
