Abstract

A recent study from Hunan First Normal University explores the unexpected cultural influence of Chinese religion, specifically Daoism, on Western psychiatric practices through the work of Carl Jung. The integration of Daoist concepts like Internal Alchemy and the Yijing into Jungian ideas such as active imagination and synchronicity had a significant impact on both Western and Chinese popular culture. This research sheds light on the complex interplay between Eastern and Western religious traditions in the field of mental health and psychiatry. [Extracted from the article]
