delusion
Definition:
Delusions are fixed beliefs that are disconnected from reality, often stemming from unconscious conflicts or archetypal inflation. In Jungian terms, delusions may represent an over-identification with an archetype or a defence against confronting the shadow.
Example:
Exploring the symbolic meaning of a delusion can provide insight into a client’s unconscious conflicts or unmet psychological needs, paving the way for integration and healing.
