During the summer, I wrote an in-depth assignment for my course in Jungian psychology, which quickly became one of the most appreciated and requested texts I've produced during my education and received the highest grade (A). The topic generated strong engagement, perhaps because it touches on something many people intuitively feel today: that our inner lives, our relationships, and even our bodies are influenced by forces that are harder to put into words, but which Carl Jung described a hundred years ago.
Here I share that work (in Swedish):
Paper: Anima and Animus in Modern Society – A Jungian Analysis with Reference to Jordan B. Peterson.
This paper also forms the basis for my upcoming book There's Nothing Wrong With You, You're Just Out of Balance, which will be released in 2026. The book delves even deeper into the theme, exploring how imbalances between the feminine and masculine affect everything from our biology and psychology to our relationships and societal structures.
In the work, I explore why we see so much stress, division, identity insecurity, and existential fatigue today, and how this can be understood through Jung and through the modern interpretation that Jordan B. Peterson highlights. When anima and animus do not communicate within us, there are often both physical and emotional consequences, and what were once individual conflicts are now seen on a large scale throughout society.
This is not an academic work detached from life; it is a text about us, about our time, about why so many feel that something is amiss, and about how wholeness is indeed possible.
You are warmly welcome to delve deeper.
