His theory: Analytical psychology
Definition: The theory and method of psychoanalysis developed by Jung that emphasis the contribution of radical and cultural identity to the psychology of an individual and the importance of achieving a balance between opposing forces within the personality. It is also the school of depth psychology based on his discoveries and concepts.
His writing include a fully-developed theory of the structure and dynamics of the psyche in both its conscious and unconscious aspects, a detailed theory of personality types and a full description of the universal, primordial images coming from the deepest layer of the unconscious psyche.
His theory’s continued...
Jung describes striking parallels between the unconscious images, produced by individuals in dreams and visions and the universal motifs found in religions and mythologies of all ages.
The psychic energy that directs and motivates the personality is called Libido its the dynamism of the life process manifested in the psychic sphere.
His Psychological Types: 2 attitude types: extravert and introvert
Four function types: thinking, feelings, sensation, intuition
His theory continued...
The five primary functions on the psyche that are themselves archetypes, or universal patterns of experience:
The Persona
The Ego
The Shadow
The Self
The Anima
The major goal of Jung`s therapy is individuation through the integration of the ego and the shadow. He also introduced Introversion and
Extraversion.
Introversion- is the state of or tendency toward being wholly or predominantly conerned with the interested in one`s own mental life.
Introverts tend to be quiet low-key, deliberate, and relatively non-engaged in social situations.
His theory continued...
Extraversion - is the act, state, or habit of being predominantly concerned with and obtaining gratification from what is outside the self. Extraverts tend to enjoy human interactions and to be enthusiastic, talkative, assertive and gregarious.
Critic&Overall review of jung
Many argue that Jung is open to criticism for treating the collective unconscious not as a theoretical entity to which reference is made in an as yet untested hypothesis, but as something whose existence is an established fact. Finally it is worth noting that we possess little worthwhile statistical evidence about the efficacy of Jungian psychotherapy. Lacking this evidence, many are forced to conclude that although Dr. Jung established a psychological system of some complexity, there are yet no grounds for believing any of its propositions which go beyond recording empirical data, either as to the nature of personality, the world at large, or as to the process of cure when so desired.
People are not sure about whether or not all of his theories are accurate and proven to be true.
