SECTION 1



ANIMA
AND
ANIMUS



The anima and animus can influence a person
in either a positive or negative manner.

If a man is under the influence
of the positive anima he will
show:

tenderness,

patience,

consideration,

compassion.

The negative anima manifests as vanity,
moodiness, bitchiness, and sensitivity
to hurt feelings.

A woman with a positive
animus shows:

assertiveness,

control,

thoughtful rationality,

compassionate strength.


The negative animus reveals in:

strong opinions,

ruthlessness,

destructive forces,

"always the last word".


Both men and women are on the path to their
own integration and must struggle with the
interpersonal ramifications of the anima and
the animus.

ANIMA
ANIMUS
IN
CULTURE



This process can be complicated by cultural
influences. The impact of the early women’s
movement motivated women to leave the home
for the work place.

In doing so, these women had to take on a
traditional masculine role if they were to
succeed.

They had to become competitive and more
assertive. They had to internalize their
emotions and be more "logical."

ANIMA
IN
JUNGIAN
PSYCHOLOGY



Anima, in Jungian psychology, refers to:

1. The unconscious or true inner self of
an individual, as opposed to the persona,
or outer aspect of the personality.

2. The feminine inner personality, as
present in the unconscious of the male.

It is in contrast to the animus, which
represents masculine characteristics.

It can be identified as all of the
unconscious feminine psychological
qualities that a male possesses.

The anima is one of the most significant
autonomous complexes of all.

It manifests itself by appearing as figures
in dreams as well as by influencing a man's
interactions with women and his attitudes
toward them.
