teleological point of view

Definition:

A teleological perspective in Jungian psychology focuses on the psyche’s orientation toward purpose, meaning, and future goals. It views psychological struggles as part of a larger process of growth and self-realisation rather than simply as symptoms of past causes.

Example:

Adopting a teleological approach helps clients reframe challenges as opportunities for growth. For instance, viewing anxiety as a sign of unmet aspirations may guide a client toward positive change.
