Polly Young-Eisendrath and Terrence Dawson’s text offers
remarkable information about Jungian concepts. One of the students in my spring
quarter, 2011, Advanced Theories: Jungian course quoted the following in his
final synthesis paper:
Jung enters the conversation of
opposites, lets each side have its say, endures the struggle between the
opposing point of view, suffers the anguish of being strung out between them,
greets the resolving symbol with gratitude. The psyche, says Jung, arrives at a
third point of view that includes the essence of each conflicting perspective
while at the same time combining them into a new symbol. We must enter this
process and cooperate with it if we are to be fully—and ethically—engaged in
living. (Ulanov, as cited in Young-Eisendrath & Dawson, 2009, p. 328)
