Structuring symbols, complexes, and functions are expressed as polarities that include both the subjective and objective worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsciousness is described as the interaction of five archetypal forms of intelligence. Among them, \u003cstrong\u003eCarlos Amadeu Botelho Byington, M.D., \u003c\/strong\u003eintroduces alterity, in which the anima and animus archetypes relate dialectically, making it the archetype of democracy, of scientific and artistic creativity, and of love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough this dialectic of opposites, analytical psychology and psychoanalysis are analyzed as complementary approaches and used to explicate shadow formation through fixation and defenses. In this manner, ethics can be studied psychodynamically, and the shadow can be equated with sin and evil within the individuation process. Through this ample symbolic perspective, the psyche is conceived as being (following Heidegger), with its three main polarities--mind-body, mind-nature, and mind-emotions--expressed through symbols.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe matriarchal and patriarchal archetypes, along with the alterity and totality archetypes, form the ruling archetypal quaternio, which is the basis of symbolic elaboration to form the ego and consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eParallel to Jung's individuation process, Byington has conceived the cultural Self and the humanization process based on Teilhard de Chardin to describe an archetypal theory of history. This theory includes the activation of the alterity archetype, whose mythological root is expressed through the myth of Christ in the West and the myth of Buddha in the East.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJungian Symbolic Psychology\u003c\/em\u003e concludes with an interpretation of the Oedipus myth based on the dialectical relationship between analytical psychology and psychoanalysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarlos Amadeu Botelho Byington, M.D.\u003c\/strong\u003e, is a psychiatrist and Jungian analyst, graduated at the C.G.
