Enantiodromia (Greek: enantios, opposite + dromos, running course) is a concept introduced by psychiatrist Carl Jung meaning the superabundance of any force inevitably produces its opposite. For example, it has been applied to subject of the film The Lives of Others, to show how one devoted to a fascist regime breaks through his loyalty and emerges a humanist.
