Listening to the Unconscious – Listening to the Ancestors

Why can Jungian psychology with all its various concepts be considered to be the closest one to African psychology? This lecture deals with the primordial indigenous roots of C.G. Jung’s Analytical Psychology, in particular their African ones. The affinities between Jungian psychology and African Traditional Healing seem to prove the fact that Jung’s concepts are not artificially or purely intellectually conceived constructions, but correspond to ways how humans, unconsciously or consciously, are and were experiencing their psychic life in our as well as in other cultures since immemorial times.
