infancy and childhood
Definition:
Infancy and childhood are foundational stages in Jungian psychology where the psyche begins to develop its structure, including the formation of the ego and early complexes. Parental relationships and early experiences play a critical role in shaping the psyche.
Example:
Addressing childhood experiences helps clients uncover the roots of their complexes and unconscious patterns. For instance, exploring feelings of abandonment in childhood may provide insight into adult relational difficulties.
