Compensation In Jungian psychology, the belief that the psyche has a natural tendency toward balance. If a particular attitude, for instance, becomes extreme, therapy and close attention to dreams can help to amplify repressed or underdeveloped psychological contents.
On several occasions Jung says that his particular therapeutic approach is essential to this process, while he believed that he had successfully analyzed himself.
Jung, however, never tried to compel potential clients to accept his views. If an ardent churchgoer, for example, was satisfied with that which for Jung was a skewed perspective, Jung would let them be. Jung would only intervene when clients’ old systems and attitudes lead to neurosis and help was requested.
