Jung's approach to spirituality and religion.

Islamic spiritual care and negative religious coping

“…However, this is an oversimplified account. Jungian psychology (which can be described as working in the periphery of modern psychology today), for example, recognizes the workings of the 'inner self ' , which has similarities to the functions of the qalb (Rothman 2022), and the possibility of a self-revealing Godimage in the self (Corbett 2013), echoing tašbih (self-disclosure of God's attributes) in Islamic mystical thought (Abidi 2021). Notwithstand ing that the movement between Jungian psychology and Islam ic psychology may release some tension, the belief in a living and present God outside of the selfsomething characterized as the 'original beyond the images' by Jung -is outside the scope of the modern psychological venture (Corbett 2013).…”

“…The personal conflict between S. Freud and C.G. Jung is almost symbolic; Freud criticised religion profoundly as an illusion both patients and society needed to be liberated from (Freud, 1927), whereas Jung's theory of archetypical symbolism appreciated both religion and spirituality as valuable sources for therapeutic work (Corbett, 2013). After a euphoric beginning, their relationship ended in open discord-a discord that was apparent in the psychological discourse during the following decades (Falzeder, 2020).…”
