chapter 4 carl jung

• Ø  LEVELS OF PSYCHE

  -       Jung saw the human psyche as being divided into a conscious and an unconscious level, with the latter further subdivided into a personal and a collective unconscious.
• A.    CONSCIOUS

  -       Images sensed by the ego are said to be conscious.
• A.    PERSONAL CONSCIOUS

  The unconscious refers to those psychic images not sensed by the ego.
• personal unconscious, which contains the complexes (emotionally toned groups of related ideas)
• -       collective unconscious, or ideas that are beyond our personal experiences and that originate from the repeated experiences of our ancestors.
• A.    COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS

  -       images are not inherited ideas, but rather they refer to our innate tendency to react in a particular way whenever our personal experiences stimulate an inherited predisposition toward action.
• 1. ARCHETYPES

  -       Contents of the collective unconscious are called archetypes.
• PERSONA - the side of our personality that we show to others.
• SHADOW - the dark side of personality
• ANIMA - achieving maturity is for men to accept their anima
• ANIMUS - feminine side, and for women to embrace their animus.
• GREAT MOTHER nourishment and destruction
• WISE OLD MAN wisdom and meaning
• HERO - image we have of a conqueror who vanquishes evil, but who has a single fatal flaw.
• SELF - the image we have of fulfillment, completion, or perfection.
• The ultimate in psychological maturity is self-realization, which is symbolized by the mandala, or perfect geometric figure.
• DYNAMICS OF PERSONALITY

  -       Jung believed that the dynamic principles that apply to physical energy also apply to psychic energy.
• PROGRESSION AND REGRESSION

  -       To achieve self-realization, people must adapt to both their external and internal worlds.
• Progression involves adaptation to the outside world and the forward flow of psychic energy
• regression refers to adaptation to the inner world and the backward flow of psychic energy.
• introversion, which refers to people's subjective perceptions,
• extraversion, which indicates an orientation toward the objective world.
• thinking, or recognizing the meaning of stimuli;
• feeling, or placing a value on something;
• sensation, or taking in sensory stimuli; and
• intuition, or perceiving elementary data that are beyond our awareness.
• DEVELOPMENT OF PERSONALITY

  -       Nearly unique among personality theorists was Jung's emphasis on the second half of life.
• childhood, which lasts from birth until adolescence;
• youth, the period from puberty until middle life, which is a time for extraverted development and for being grounded to the real world of schooling, occupation, courtship, marriage, and family;
• middle life, which is a time from about 35 or 40 until old age when people should be adopting an introverted attitude; and
• old age, which is a time for psychological rebirth, self-realization, and preparation for death.
• Self-realization, or individuation, involves a psychological rebirth and an integration of various parts of the psyche into a unified or whole individual.
• Self-realization represents the highest level of human development.

• Jung’s concept of a PERSONAL unconscious is parallel to Freud’s idea of the unconscious.
• The notion of a COLLECTIVE unconscious is Jung’s most controversial and distinctive concept.
• Jung’s NO. 2. personality was in touch with feelings and intuitions of which his other personality was unaware.
• According to Jung, the EGO is the center of consciousness
• COMPLEXES are contents of the personal unconscious.
• COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS are contents of the collective unconscious
