• Jung emphasized the
importance of balance
and harmony. He
cautioned that modern
people rely too heavily
on natural science and
logical positivism and
would benefit from
integrating spirituality
and appreciation of
unconscious realms.
•Swiss psychiatrist, an influential
thinker and the founder of
analytical psychology.
• Although he was a theoretical
psychologist and practicing
clinician, much of his life's work
was spent exploring other areas,
including Eastern and Western
philosophy, alchemy, astrology,
sociology, as well as literature and
the arts.
• Studied dreams, art, mythology,
world religion and philosophy.
• He is best known for his theories of
the Collective Unconscious, including
the concept of archetypes, and the
use of synchronicity in psychotherapy.
• personal unconscious.
• In Jungian psychology, a part of the
unconscious mind, shared by a society, a
people, or all humankind, that is the
product of ancestral experience and
contains such concepts as science,
religion, and morality.
In other words, someone who shares
personality and actions within a family
doing the same stuff and not realizing there
actions.
• repressed part of mind: in Jungian and related forms of psychotherapy,
a section of somebody's unconscious mind that contains impulses, fears,
and memories that have been repressed
• Your unconscious mind makes you think you forgot about something
tragic that happened but you repressed it all your life so you don’t realize
what you are doing when you do the same thing, so you are repeating your
fears.
Ex: if you get attacked by your dad and he beats you at a young age, but
you grow up and “forgive” him, when you have kids you are likely to beat
them and not know why you are doing so, doctors will try and blame it on
your dads past but you will deny because you say you forgave him, too
scared to face your fears.
• Jung developed a personality
typology that has become so popular
that some people don't realize he did
anything else! It begins with the
distinction between introversion and
extroversion.
• Introverts are people who prefer
their internal world of thoughts,
feelings, fantasies, dreams, and so
on. They keep to themselves usually
really shy and don’t socialize.
• Extroverts prefer
the external world
of things and
people and
activities.
• They are usually
very out going and
socialize with
everyone.
Jung's theory divides the psyche
into three parts. The first is the ego,
which Jung identifies with the
conscious mind. Closely related is
the personal unconscious, which
includes anything which is not
presently conscious, but can be.
The personal unconscious is like
most people's understanding of the
unconscious in that it includes both
memories that are easily brought to
mind and those that have been
suppressed for some reason.
• There are some experiences that
show the effects of the collective
unconscious more clearly than others:
The experiences of love at first sight, of
deja vu and the immediate recognition
of certain symbols and the meanings of
certain myths, could all be understood
as the sudden conjunction of our outer
reality and the inner reality of the
collective unconscious.
