The question of homosexuality
David Shesko, Joseph
The question of homosexuality - 2010.
37
Homosexuality is one of the most controversial subjects in analytic psychology. Jung suggested three hypotheses to account for homosexuality, but they are all flawed to some degree. The most widespread hypothesis, concerning identification with the contrasexual archetype (anima or animus), raises major problems related to the mechanisms of identification and individuation. Actually, it looks as though Jung confused the categories of sex, gender, and sexual orientation.
