The Psychology Of The Eternal-Child | Carl Jung

Why do so many men today struggle to grow up? In this video, we explore *The Psychology of the Man-Child, based on Carl Jung’s concept of the Puer Aeternus — the eternal child trapped in a grown man’s body. This isn’t just a modern issue — it’s a timeless archetype. From Swiss psychologist Marie-Louise von Franz to the mythologies of Dionysus and Eros, we uncover why so many today remain stuck in adolescence — avoiding responsibility, commitment, and meaning. *What you’ll discover in this video:* The roots of the Puer Aeternus in Jungian psychology The consequences of avoiding individuation and maturity How the man-child archetype plays out in modern society Practical insights for breaking free from psychological stagnation *This video is for you if:* You feel stuck in life and unsure why You’re drawn to Jungian psychology, mythology, and self-discovery You want to explore deep philosophical and psychological ideas through storytelling and analysis Timestamps: 00:00 – The Tragedy of the Eternal Child 02:15 – Jung, Von Franz, and the Man-Child 08:40 – Archetypes, Fantasy, and Escapism 15:05 – How to Break Free from the Puer Aeternus 22:00 – Final Reflections Subscribe to Legendary Echoes for weekly deep-dives into the human psyche, archetypes, mythology, and philosophy.
