transcendent function
Definition:
The transcendent function in Jungian psychology describes the process of reconciling opposites within the psyche, such as conscious and unconscious or thinking and feeling. It emerges through active engagement with symbolic material, fostering integration and transformation.
Example:
Facilitating the transcendent function helps clients achieve psychological balance and progress toward individuation. For example, working with dream imagery might reveal ways to harmonise conflicting aspects of their personality.
