SAPS

What are SAPS?
SAPS stands for System of Analytical Psychology, a revolutionary approach to understanding the human psyche developed by famed psychiatrist Carl Jung at the beginning of the 20th century. It moves beyond Freud's focus on the conscious mind.

Jung believed that the mind was composed of three layers: the conscious, the personal unconscious, and the collective unconscious. The conscious mind is the part of our mind that we are aware of, while the personal unconscious is the storehouse of our memories, thoughts, and feelings that are not currently in our awareness. The collective unconscious is a reservoir of human experience shared by all people, regardless of culture or time period.

SAPS uses dream analysis, active imagination, and other techniques to access the unconscious mind. Jung believed that dreams were a window into the unconscious, and he encouraged his patients to record and analyze their dreams to gain insight into their inner lives.

Active imagination is a technique in which the therapist and patient engage in a dialogue with the patient's unconscious mind. This can be done by having the patient imagine a dialogue with a character or symbol from their dream, or by having the therapist interpret the patient's dreams and offer suggestions.

SAPS has been used to treat a wide range of psychological problems, including anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia. It has also been used to help people develop their creativity and spirituality.

SAPS is a complex and challenging approach to therapy, but it can be a powerful tool for those who are willing to explore the depths of their own minds.
