PSYCHOANALYTIC ANTHROPOLOGY

The study of “Psychoanalytic Anthropology” has brought a transcendental revolution in the fields of Archaeology and Anthropology. This new Anthropology encompasses the study of the symbolic archetypes which have appeared, in an universal and perennial way, in the religious, mythological and philosophical terrain of all ancient cultures. Dr. c. G. Jung clearly stated that great truths of transcendental type are enclosed in the world of the symbolic archetypes, and he added that these truths can shed light about the enigmas that have always disquieted the psyche of the human being.

This Psychoanalytic Anthropology allows us to extract -by means of psychoanalysis- from different archaeological remains -niches, tombs, pyramids, manuscripts, papyri, etc- the psychological principles contained in them.

Examples of various archaeological remains include the Mexican codices, the Assyrian bricks, the Dead Sea Scrolls, strange parchments, some very ancient temples,

 

sacred monoliths, old hieroglyphs, millenary sepulchres, etc, which offer, in their symbolic depth, a Gnostic sense which, definitively, escapes a literal interpretation for they have never had an exclusively intellectual meaning.

The items below exemplify the various themes of study related to Psychoanalytic Anthropology.
