May 20, 2021 at 10:27PM
Contemporary psychological gender theory explores the interplay of biological sex, culture, brain development, and attachment experiences in the formation of gender identities. Reading outside of his Anima/Animus theory, Jung of the symbolic, the mythic, and the subtle body has much to offer to emergent gender theory. Jung invites us to the medial place of the soul, bridging the realm of the physical body and the realm of the spirit. It is in this place that we can explore gender as fluidly shifting realities of body and mind.
