Social psychology, Nankai University, China
Tracing Jung’s dialogue with the I Ching, thanks to Jung’s unique interpretation, this paper
highlights the psyche-mending aspect of it with Jung’s key concepts: Union of Yin and Yang,
archetype at the core, indicates man’s primordial inner drive; sychronicity, the acausal rule, clears
man’s cognitive mist by expanding beyond western causal limitation; individuation, a process of
self exploring, is made possible as the hexagram texts tend to expose man’s psychological
blindspots, leads to better coping, examples testifying which are given. To sum up, interactions
between Jung and the I Ching reconcile both eastern and western efforts towards better
soul-caring.

5083.153 Role of spirituality in health: East-west comparision, Sehgal Meena, Panjab University,
Chandigarh, India
The quest for health, harmony and happiness is universal. The Indian culture has given rise to
practices that have relevance for stress reduction, health promotion and self development. Indian
psychology is different from what we know in western psychology. Indian psychology may be
interpreted as psychology of transcendence which implies overcoming the existential constraints
of one's body-mind complex (Rao,2003).The author interviewed spiritual leaders to gain access to
Indian cognitions of health and disease. The model of health thus generated was compared to
western model of health. The complementary and different aspects of the two systems have been
reviewed to generate a comprehensive intergrated model of health.
