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.
