Advisor: Durval de Faria.
Key words: vocation, adolescence, professional choice.
Abstract: This present study aims at understanding the vocational thematic under the perspective of the Analytic Psychology and investigating the specification of the Jungian approach on its theoretical dimension and clinical practice concerning Vocational Guidance. It presents a theoretical Jungian study about the vocational concept, including it in the observation of different theoretical perspectives on the subject. The Jungian Psychology understands that the development of the personality implies free and conscious choice of a personal path, which includes the professional dimension, in harmony with the Self, the wholeness archetype, and the orienting axis of the psyche. This dissertation emphasizes the comprehension of the Jungian Psychology about adolescence as a stage of development, a phase of changes and transformations; a period of life when the personal and professional choices start as part of the individuation process. The issue of vocation in the Ancient Greece is considered as a reference for the western culture. This dissertation also discusses the problems of adolescence and of vocational choice in contemporary times. It concludes with a clinic illustration sample of Vocational Guidance in a Jungian perspective.
