Question

What is cinfession in jung psychoanalytic theory?

Answer 1

Answer:

Freud and Jung on the religious practice of confession in the catholic tradition

This essay will discuss the religious practice of confession within the psychological framework of two key thinkers: Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung.  The paper is split into three parts.  The first part of the essay will describe what confession is and provide a psychological account of the practice.  The second part will attempt to explain the practice in light of a Freud’s theory of repressed sexual desire, while the third will contrast this with Jung’s account of archetypes.
