Enantiodromia
(Redirected from Enantiodroma)
Enantiodromia is a concept introduced by psychiatrist Carl Jung where the superabundance of any force inevitably produces its opposite. It is equivalent to the principle of equilibrium in the natural world, in that any extreme is opposed by the system to restore balance.
Jung used it particularly to refer to the unconscious acting against the wishes of the conscious mind. ("Aspects of the Masculine", chapter 7, paragraph 294).
