2 Carl Jung 26 July 1875 – 6 June 1961

3 Who was Carl Jung? Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist, an influential thinker and the founder of analytical psychology. Jung's approach to psychology has been influential in the field of depth psychology and in countercultural movements across the globe. Jung is considered as the first modern psychologist to state that the human psyche is "by nature religious" and to explore it in depth. He emphasized understanding the psyche through exploring the worlds of dreams, art, mythology, religion and philosophy. 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.

4 Who was Carl Jung? Jung was a colleague of Freud but differed in his understanding of the human mind. He was obsessed with the unconscious mind Jung viewed the unconscious mind differently Freud Jung saw personality development as lifelong process of striving to reconcile opposite urges

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

6 Ego Jung defines this as the conscious mind Personal sense of identity

7 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.

8 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.

9 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.

10 Examples of Archetypes
