“…Most of the problems addressed in analytical psychology, and above all that of individuation, are not only psychological, but also ethical problems, which is why Colacicchi (2021) called Jung’s system a “psycho‐ethical model”. In my review of Colacicchi’s book, I have suggested that this model, nonetheless, needs to be developed forward (Polipo, 2021). By this, I mean that we need formulations to help us spell out the ethical implications that are implicit in Jung’s psychology.…”

In its typical form, an “anima projection” is a psychic experience in which a heterosexual man is caught up by an intense, almost magical attraction for a woman. What sets these numinous experiences apart from a common “crush” is a pattern of specific phenomenological characteristics. Anima projections are particularly common in late adolescence and early adulthood, when they can cause a deep sense of disorientation. Little education exists for young men on how to deal with these experiences and to actualize the developmental opportunity that underlies them. In this paper, I frame anima projections as an ethical problem and outline a psycho‐ethical “map” that is intended for use by disoriented young men, or by any practitioner who may be tasked with helping them navigate this challenge along the path of individuation. The map considers four solutions to the love problem: the “concretistic‐literal”, the “fearful‐avoidant”, the “rational‐depressive”, and the “transitional‐developmental” solution, and indicates the latter as the one that is conducive to optimal psychic development. Although developed with a focus on young men, the map may apply to other relations based on projection, regardless of age, sex, gender, or sexual orientation.
