  4. C. G. Jung • Carl Gustav Jung (1875—1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who founded analytical psychology. • He was a contemporary of and collaborator with Sigmund Freud • Though they share similarities, analytical psychology is distinct from Freudian psychoanalysis. Its aim is wholeness through the integration of unconscious forces and motivations underlying human behavior.

  5. Freudian Psychoanalysis

  6. Analytical Psychology Jung proposed and developed the concepts of the extraverted and the introvertedpersonality, archetypes, and the collective unconscious.

  7. Divergence from Freud According to Jung, Freud conceived the unconscious solely as a repository of repressed emotions and desires. Jung agreed with Freud's model of the unconscious, what Jung called the "personal unconscious”,but he also proposed the existence of a second, far deeper form of the unconscious underlying the personal one: thecollective unconscious, where the archetypes themselves resided, represented in mythology by a lake or other body of water

  8. Archetypes derives from Greekarkhetupon arkhe- ‘primitive’ + tupos‘a model’ = ‘something molded first as a model’ ARCHETYPES are recurrent symbols or motifs in literature, art, or mythology; in Jungian psychology, they are primitive mental images inherited from the earliest human ancestors, and supposed to be present in the collective unconscious. Archetypes create myths, religions, and philosophical ideas that influence and set their stamp on whole nations and epochs. An image can be considered archetypal when it can be shown to exist in the records of human history, in identical form and with the same meaning; thus revealing deposits of the constantly repeated experiences of humanity.
