  3. Who was Carl Jung? • Jung was a colleague of Freud • He was obsessed with the unconscious mind • But, Jung viewed the unconscious mind differently than Freud • Jung saw personality development as lifelong process of striving to reconcile opposite urges

  4. The Theory Jung’s theory divided the human mind into three parts: • The Ego • The Personal Unconscious • The Collective Unconscious

  5. Ego • Jung defines this as the unconscious mind

  6. The Personal Unconscious • Anything that is not presently conscious, but can be. It includes both memories that are easily brought to mind and those that have been repressed for some reason.

  7. The Collective Unconscious • This refers to our “Psychic Inheritance”: • The reservoir of our experiences as a species, a kind of knowledge we are all born with (the collective memories of the entire human race). We are not directly conscious of it but it influences all our experiences and behaviours. • According to Jung, this is who so many cultures have the same symbols recurring in their myths, religion, art, and dreams. The common symbols are referred to as archetypes.

  8. Archetypes • The content of the collective unconscious are called "Archetypes" • Jung believed humans are not born "clean slates". He thought we came into this world with certain pre-dispositions that cause behaviour. • These behaviours were driven by archetypes or archetypal behaviour.

  9. Examples of Archetypes • Family Archetypes: • The Father – Stern, Powerful, Controlling • The Mother – Feeding, Nurturing, Soothing • The Child – Birth, Beginnings, Salvation • Story Archetypes: • The Hero – Rescuer, Champion • The Maiden – Purity, Desire • The Wise Old Man – Knowledge, Guidance • The Magician – Mysterious and Powerful • The Witch or Sorceress - Dangerous • The Trickster – Deceiving and Hidden • Animal Archetypes: • The Faithful Dog – Unquestioning Loyalty • The Enduring Horse – Never Giving Up • The Devious Cat – Self Serving
