Abstract
Neuropsychological rehabilitation of persons who have suffered brain injury requires that the treating clinician have a good grasp of neuropsychology as well as psychodynamic and analytic psychological insights regarding the nature of human beings. This paper provides clinical examples of how various Jungian insights have contributed to a successful neuropsychological rehabilitation outcome for some patients. The importance of symbols in influencing human behavior and providing meaning in life, the impact of fairytales on determining how an individual functioned before and after brain injury, and the process of individuation in the psychotherapy of individuals who have suffered brain injury are discussed. The role of synchronicity and the importance of dreams are also briefly considered. Interest in Jung’s concepts continues to flourish because he was interested in the complexity of human experiences, and his concepts and observations were not limited to a single method of intellectual discovery.
