Abstract

This article suggests a reflection on transitions through the lenses of depth analytical psychology and the representation of the mythic Roman god, Janus. Some transition-related factors and signs of being lost in transition will be explored as well as the implication of having an one-sided vision. Finally, the author proposes an interpretation of Janus’symbolic characteristics to help to understand and manage transitions.
