Proposed and developed the concepts of the extraverted and the introverted personality, archetypes, and the collective unconscious
Ego
Represents the conscious mind as it comprises the thoughts, memories, and emotions a person is aware of
Unconscious
Consists of two layers: Personal Unconscious and Collective Unconscious
Personal Unconscious
Essentially the same as Freud's version of the unconscious, containing temporarily forgotten information and repressed memories
Complexes
A collection of thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and memories that focus on a single concept
The personal unconscious was much nearer the surface than Freud suggested and Jungian therapy is less concerned with repressed childhood experiences
Archetypes
Images and thoughts which have universal meanings across cultures and may show up in dreams, literature, art or religion
Persona (mask)
The outward face we present to the world, concealing our real self
Anima/Animus
The mirror image of our biological sex, the unconscious feminine side in males and the masculine tendencies in women
Shadow
The animal side of our personality, the source of both our creative and destructive energies
Self
Provides a sense of unity in experience, the ultimate aim of every individual is to achieve a state of selfhood
MBTI
A self-report questionnaire indicating differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions
Stages of Development
1. Childhood
2. Young and early years
3. Middle life
4. Old age
According to Jung, ego begins to develop in early childhood years because their own unique identity has not been formed yet
A child's personality develops which is a reflection of both of his/her parents and a little more modified to that
Consciousness starts when the child says "I" and distinguish him/herself from others and the world
From puberty until 35-40 there is maturing sexuality, growing consciousness, and them a realization that the carefree days of childhood are gone forever
The realization that you will not live forever creates tension in middle life, and there is a tendency to more introverted and philosophical thinking
In old age, consciousness is reduced, at the same time, there is the acquisition of wisdom
Jung thought that death is the ultimate goal of life
