Psychology for Lawyerstranscendent function
Preface "The transcendent function is the core of Carl Jung's theory of psychological growth and the heart of what he called 'individuation,' the process by which one is guided . . . toward the person he or she is meant to be. * * * * Jung believed that psychological growth and individuation were only possible through an ongoing conversation between consciousness and the unconscious. He felt that every idea, attitude, or image in consciousness was opposed or compensated [or complementary] for by another in the unconscious and that the two struggled with each other in a kind of polarized ance. If these opposites were held in swaying tension, he posited, a new, third thing would emerge that was not a mixture of the two but qualitatively different. This mechanism he called the 'transcendent function." It was key to his thinking because only through a process of engaging in the transcendent function can a person foster the psychological growth that leads to individuation. * * * * At the heart of the transcendent function is transformation, a shift in consciousness."
