In Jung\u2019s work, you evoke this archetype when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.encyclopedia.com\/medicine\/psychology\/psychology-and-psychiatry\/imago-psychology\">a present-day event makes your emotions regress to those you felt in childhood<\/a>. Jung believed that many archetypes are universal and not based on individual upbringing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Freud used the Imago concept to explain children\u2019s subjective perceptions of their parents. For Freud, the Imago comes into play when <a href=\"https:\/\/second.wiki\/wiki\/imago_psicologc3ada\">a person projects certain parental traits onto another person<\/a> (for example, their psychiatrist).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-idealized-caregiver\"><strong>The Idealized Caregiver<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hendrix and Hunt state that during childhood, your subconscious creates a blended image of all the people responsible for your care\u2014parents, grandparents, foster parents, older siblings, and so on. The authors call this imaginary gestalt \u201cthe Imago.\u201d Your own Imago is an idealized image that closely resembles the people who raised you, with all their positive and negative traits, while also making up for your repressed desires and feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the example of a woman we\u2019ll call \u201cPatty.\u201d She was raised by thoughtful, intelligent parents who nevertheless fell short in some ways of nurturing her fully as a child. Patty\u2019s father was an investment adviser who worked long hours and was rarely at home. He encouraged Patty to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-do-well-in-school\/\">excel in school<\/a>, but couldn\u2019t acknowledge her feelings. He would get angry if she was openly sad or anxious at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patty\u2019s mother was more available, a painter who worked from a studio in their house. Since she spent most days alone, she relied on Patty to provide much of the emotional support she didn\u2019t receive from Patty\u2019s father. As such, she monopolized Patty\u2019s time whenever she could, micromanaging her daughter as if she was an extension of herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, Patty\u2019s \u201cidealized parental image\u201d is of a person who is intelligent, hard-working, and creative, while also being controlling, dismissive, and in need of their emotional care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hendrix and Hunt suggest that whether we know it or not, <strong>this parental image is the template we use when evaluating potential romantic partners<\/strong>\u2014and the more closely a potential mate matches your unconscious parental image, the more you feel attracted to them. While we may think we know why we find certain people attractive, this process is entirely unconscious and can take place very quickly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/blink\"><em>Blink<\/em><\/a>, Malcolm Gladwell spotlights the concept of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/blink\/part-1#how-snap-decisions-work-in-the-brain\">\u201cthin-slicing,\u201d<\/a> the process by which our mind can make very fast judgments based on limited data. While quick, unconscious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/methods-of-decision-making-crucial-conversations\/\">decision-making<\/a> is an evolutionary advantage, it can be problematic when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/blink\/part-2#superficial-thin-slicing\">unconscious biases creep into our decision-making<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If two people match each other\u2019s parental image, the mutual attraction can be irresistible. In the case of close \u201cperfect partner\u201d matches, love at first sight can be very real. (Shortform note: Sparking love at first sight is the premise behind \u201cspeed dating,\u201d in which people have a limited time frame to determine their level of romantic interest. Studies on speed dating show that <a href=\"https:\/\/faculty.wcas.northwestern.edu\/eli-finkel\/documents\/FinkelEastwickCDir_PageProofs5-20-08.pdf\">the characteristics people <em>consciously <\/em>state they\u2019re looking for bear little resemblance to the partners they select<\/a>. However, some studies show that certain stated preferences, particularly those made along gender lines, <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23915041\/\">do conform to stereotypical trends<\/a>, such as men preferring physically attractive women, and women preferring men with higher social status.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does Imago mean in psychology?
