Interesting. I think Jung's ideas are fascinating to apply to cultural phenomena and literature, etc. Aunt B., I agree that the idea of a finite set of archetypes is unlikely, especially in today's increasingly pluralistic communities. But the concept is interesting to think about, at least within the bounds of fairly cohesive cultural groups. Or, to note how, as communities blend more and more, the lack of shared archetypes might affect relationships.
There are still a fair number of therapists who think Jungian when working with patients, I think. I think the therapeutic sandtray work has a lot of Jungian theory as its basis. I think Jungian ideas also appeal to a lot of new age sorts of healing approaches.
