Fear of Jung: Complex Doctrine and the Science of Emotions

The current neuroscientific research in the field of emotion studies highlights a paradigm of scientific research best categorized as functional science. Though researchers use psychological constructs proposed by the late Carl Jung, there appears to be a “fear of Jung,” that is, a professional fear of invoking Jung’s name or his psychological research. One familiar with Jung’s works notices similar terminology, ideas, and even conclusions. Current research in the cognitive neurosciences investigating memory, emotional imagery, and emotions, as well as the field of PTSD research, provides ample support for a neurological stratum to these emotional complexes. There is much empirical evidence for a serious reconsideration of Jung’s contributions for a natural human scientific study of emotions.
