"Complementation in fairytales"
Abstract: The relation between consciousness and the unconscious is
characterized by reciprocity. The unconscious does *not* provide a
continual flow of invigorating content for the enrichment of the
conscious mind. Psychology's focus on the principle of 'integration' has
the consequence that unconscious products, such as fairytale and myth,
is sometimes misinterpreted. The article demonstrates how a certain
fairytale, The Golden Blackbird, can be interpreted following the
opposite principle of 'complementation', signifying a flow in the
unconscious direction.
Keywords: integration, complementation, fairy tale, myth, redemption,
M-L von Franz, C.G. Jung.
