Jung, an attentive reader of Nietzsche, borrows the famous phrase “God is dead” but interprets it in psychological terms. According to him, what has died is a certain anthropomorphic and mythological representation of God, maintained by unconscious projections of archetypal images. When these projections are withdrawn, the divine image returns to man. This is the metamorphosis which Jung endeavors to describe scientifically, with its clinical consequences, beginning in the 1930’s, through the concept of the boundary of the self and the dynamic of opposites.
