THE MAN-CHILD (Carl Jung) - PSYCHOLOGY of the Puer Aeternus (Eternal Child) & the PETER PAN Syndrome

Описание: Welcome to the YouTube channel "The Truth"!
The story of the hunter, who drowns after being lured by a woman's song that turns out to be a trap, serves as a metaphor for the "puer aeternus" or "eternal child" concept introduced by psychologist Marie-Louise von Franz. This concept describes adults who remain emotionally stuck in adolescence, avoiding responsibilities and clinging to nostalgic memories of childhood. They perceive adult life as harsh and prefer the comfort of the past, leading to a state of arrested development.

Von Franz highlights that modern parenting and the culture of instant gratification have exacerbated this issue, with individuals often delaying independence and remaining in dependent relationships well into adulthood. The text critiques outdated gender roles in parenting, emphasizing the importance of the father’s role in fostering independence. A failure in this area can result in overprotective maternal behavior, trapping individuals in dependency.

The video also explores Dan Kiley’s Peter Pan Syndrome, which aligns with Jungian ideas of the eternal child. This syndrome is characterized by denial of aging, irresponsibility, and emotional dependence. It often arises from inadequate parental guidance and results in difficulties with personal responsibility and relationships.
