《女性心理的结构类型》——ToniWolff(3)

另一方面，女人天生就受到灵魂的制约，而她的精神和性欲又都受到心灵的熏陶，因此更加一致。因此，女性的意识更全面，但又略显模糊。心理元素倾向于通过生命的某些形式中表现出来，这些形式可能与女性结构形式和相关的文化时期对应。并非每个时期都为女性心理形式的表现提供最佳的可能性。历史，社会，经济和宗教原因如今阻碍了女性固有的结构形式的实现，但我们不能在这里探讨所有这些要素。这种对过往的审查也没有什么用处，因为它只能表明是什么因素决定了心理问题。真正重要的是意识到这个问题的存在，并试图通过获得更伟大的意识来解决内在的混乱状态。
One historical fact only shall be mentioned here as being the symbolic example of the modern woman"s problems: the insecurity of many a modern woman regarding her own self and the essence of the feminine is less frequently found in catholicism. Here, in the symbol of Mary, the cult of the feminine principle as such has not only been associated since ages with the male godhead and not only has this association recently been proclaimed a dogma (as foreseen by Goethe in the finale of " Faust" ), but its various aspects are symbolic representations of essentially feminine ways of existence: maid of the Lord, virgin, bride of the Holy Spirit, mother of God, fighter against the infidel, mediatrix, queen of heaven, etc. . From an historical viewpoint the insecurity of the protestant (and the Jewish) woman is due to the absence of her own principle within the exclusively male godhead--the metaphysical parallel to the patriarchal-masculine civilization. But religious symbolism should embrace an individual in his or her totality. However, in view of the fact that a return to the past is impossible, those concerned can only advance along the path of an intensified differentiation and a deeper appreciation of the psychological problems involved.
