schizophrenia
Definition:
Schizophrenia in Jungian psychology is seen as a severe disintegration of the psyche, where the boundary between conscious and unconscious collapses. It is often associated with an overwhelming influx of archetypal material that the ego cannot manage.
Example:
Therapy focuses on grounding the individual and helping them re-establish a sense of ego stability. Exploring the symbolic content of delusions or hallucinations can provide insight into the underlying psychic conflict.
