Psychoanalysis as a guide for spiritual growth: from the indiscipline of the body to life in society.

Abstract

This research tries to share the experience of teaching psychoanalysis as self-help and spiritual growth for both the teacher and the student. To do this, it makes a comparison between Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic system and his instinctual dictatorship, towards the more socially focused systems of Alfred Adler's Individual Psychology and Carl Gustav Jung's Analytical Psychology.
