NOTES ABOUT NEUROSISThe term “neuroses” is often used vaguely in everyday language to describe any uncomfortable or distressing kind. However, in the context of psychology and especially within the theoretical framework developed by Carl Gustav Jung (1875 – 1961), neurosis assumes a specific meaning.
Introduction to neuroses in C.G.JUNE’s view
Already at the beginning of his professional career, while working with Eugen Bleuler in Zurich and later as a disciple of Dr. Sigmund Freud (1856 – 1939), Jung began to develop his own ideas about human psychological functioning.
For him it is not only a medium or clinical concept, but also philosophical and anthropolites. In this context neurosis is seen as a manifestation of the individual’s search for completeness (individuation), where dissociated elements are present.

Neuroses are then understood not only by medical-clinical bias, but also from the philosophy and anthropological perspective. For Jung this condition is the manifestation of the individual in the search for completeness (individuation), where dissociated elements are present.
In his book “Man and his symbols” Jung deeply explores the importance of symbols to understanding the human mind, and their connection with normal or pathological psychological processes.<

H2> Conclusion of ArticleJung’s views on neuroses offers us a broader perspective for understanding human psychological conditions. Instead of the merely clinical approach, he suggests a look that considers dissociated elements and the search for individuation.
