. \u2026sous les fonctions n\u00e9glig\u00e9es se cachent des valeurs individuelles bien plus \u00e9lev\u00e9es qui, bien que de peu d\u2019importance pour la vie collective, sont d\u2019une valeur inestimable pour la vie individuelle\u00a0; ce sont donc des valeurs vitales qui peuvent conf\u00e9rer \u00e0 la vie de l\u2019individu une intensit\u00e9 et une beaut\u00e9 qu\u2019il cherchera vainement dans sa fonction collective. \u2014 C.G. Jung<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Dans les articles pr\u00e9c\u00e9dents, nous avons pass\u00e9 en revue les huit types afin de nous familiariser avec les attributs de chacun. Dans cet article, Vanessa Goodman, analyste jungienne et membre du corps professoral du GCI, introduit le th\u00e8me de la prochaine s\u00e9rie. Nous aborderons le d\u00e9veloppement tout au long de la vie et comment la connaissance des types peut faciliter la compr\u00e9hension de ce que Jung appelait les \u201c\u00a0\u00e9tapes de la vie\u00a0\u201d. Comme toujours, vos commentaires et suggestions sont les bienvenus.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jung fut l'un des premiers psychologues \u00e0 \u00e9tudier le d\u00e9veloppement humain tout au long de la vie. Dans son article \u201c Les stades de la vie \u201d, il distinguait trois p\u00e9riodes principales\u00a0: l'enfance, la jeunesse (de la pubert\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e2ge m\u00fbr) et la p\u00e9riode post-maigreur.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pour illustrer ces \u00e9tapes, il a utilis\u00e9 l'analogie du voyage du soleil depuis l'horizon :<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201c Au matin, il s\u2019\u00e9l\u00e8ve de la mer nocturne de l\u2019inconscience et contemple le vaste monde lumineux qui s\u2019\u00e9tend devant lui dans une \u00e9tendue qui s\u2019\u00e9largit sans cesse \u00e0 mesure qu\u2019il monte dans le firmament \u201d (CW8, par. 778).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ainsi, le soleil se l\u00e8ve de la mer jusqu'\u00e0 son z\u00e9nith dans la jeunesse, puis redescend apr\u00e8s le milieu de la vie.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201c \u00c0 midi pile, la descente commence. Et la descente signifie le renversement de tous les id\u00e9aux et valeurs qui \u00e9taient ch\u00e9ris le matin \u201d (CW8, par. 778).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
L'enfance et la jeunesse ont pour but de forger un ego solide et de d\u00e9velopper une personnalit\u00e9 affirm\u00e9e. Les jeunes sont ambitieux et tourn\u00e9s vers l'avenir. Ils consacrent beaucoup de temps aux relations sociales, aux \u00e9tudes, \u00e0 la construction d'une carri\u00e8re et \u00e0 la fondation d'une famille.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sur le plan psychologique, les individus ont tendance \u00e0 exploiter leurs meilleurs atouts, en s'appuyant sur la fonction qui leur est la plus naturelle. Par exemple, un gar\u00e7on dou\u00e9 pour le sport aura tendance \u00e0 en pratiquer davantage. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 sa ma\u00eetrise de la fonction sensorielle, il obtiendra une grande reconnaissance et construira une identit\u00e9 autour de ce talent\u00a0: \u201c\u00a0Je suis bon en sport.\u00a0\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00c0 la quarantaine, les individus sont confront\u00e9s aux limites de la vie et au d\u00e9clin de leurs capacit\u00e9s physiques. Jung consid\u00e9rait cette p\u00e9riode comme une transition de vie importante qui n\u00e9cessitait une attention particuli\u00e8re.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201c Les personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es doivent savoir que leur vie ne s\u2019allonge pas et ne s\u2019\u00e9tend pas\u2026 Pour la personne \u00e2g\u00e9e, il est un devoir et une n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 de se consacrer s\u00e9rieusement \u00e0 elle-m\u00eame \u201d (CW8, par. 785).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
D\u00e9velopper ses meilleurs dons d\u00e8s le plus jeune \u00e2ge est n\u00e9cessaire, mais cela engendre un d\u00e9veloppement d\u00e9s\u00e9quilibr\u00e9. Apr\u00e8s le milieu de la vie, le processus d'individuation s'amorce souvent, lorsqu'on parvient \u00e0 concilier cette dualit\u00e9 int\u00e9rieure par l'int\u00e9gration de la fonction inf\u00e9rieure.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201c Mais ce d\u00e9veloppement unilat\u00e9ral entra\u00eenera in\u00e9vitablement une r\u00e9action, car la fonction inf\u00e9rieure refoul\u00e9e ne peut \u00eatre d\u00e9finitivement exclue de notre vie et de notre d\u00e9veloppement. Viendra le temps o\u00f9 il faudra abolir la division de l\u2019homme int\u00e9rieur, afin que la fonction non d\u00e9velopp\u00e9e puisse avoir la possibilit\u00e9 de vivre \u201d (CW8, par. 112).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Par le processus d'individuation, nous sommes rajeunis en devenant entiers.<\/p>\n
