Carl Jung's concept of "Puer Aeternus," or the eternal boy, describes an archetype representing the immature, irresponsible, and eternally youthful aspect of the male psyche.
This archetype is characterized by a refusal to grow up, an avoidance of responsibility, and a tendency towards escapism.
Jung explored this archetype in his work, highlighting its potential for both creativity and destruction.
The Puer Aeternus can be a source of inspiration and innovation, but also a hindrance to personal growth and maturity.
Understanding this archetype is crucial for achieving psychological wholeness and integrating the various aspects of the self.
