1. JUNG BEGAN GIVING SEMINARS WITH SIGMUND FREUD ON THE PSYCHOANALYTICAL APPROACH IN 1908. IN 1913 JUNG BROKE AWAY FROM FREUD AND EXPLAINED HIS OWN THEORIES OF PSYCHOLOGY. TODAY MANY PSYCHOLOGIES VIEW JUNG’S TEACHINGS AS MORE PHILOSOPHICAL THAN PSYCHOLOGICAL.

2. JUNG ARGUES THAT THE UNCONSCIOUS CONTAINS MORE THEN FREUD BELIEVED. JUNG BELIEVED THAT THERE WERE FEARS, BEHAVIORS, AND THOUGHTS THAT CHILDREN AND ADULTS EXHIBIT THAT ARE REMARKABLY SIMILAR ACROSS TIME AND CULTURE. HE CALLED THESE PARTS OF OUR MIND THE COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS. HIS NEW SCHOOL OF THOUGHT, ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY, ARGUED THAT THE COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS WAS MADE UP OF ARCHETYPES.

3. THESE ARE THE IMAGES IN OUR UNCONSCIOUS THAT ARE INHERITED FROM ONE’S ANCESTORS. THESE IMAGES IMPACT OUR PERSONALITY AND OUR BEHAVIORS.

4. This is the dark side of our personality, the bad parts of our inner self. This represents our evil instincts. The shadow is amoral because it is like an animal instinct.

5. This is the instinctual urge we all have for a “mother” (someone who gives unconditional care). In situations when an actual mother is unavailable, some turn to alternatives, such as the church.

6. WE MUST ALL REALIZE THAT WE ARE MADE UP OF A MALE AND FEMALE SIDE. MALES MUST RECOGNIZE THEIR ANIMA, FEMALE SIDE OF THEIR PERSONALITY. FEMALES MUST RECOGNIZE THEIR ANIMUS, THEIR MASCULINE SIDE OF THEIR PERSONALITY.

7. THIS ARCHETYPE ENCOMPASSES ALL OTHER ARCHETYPES. IT IS EVERYTHING THAT MAKES UP WHO WE ARE. WHEN WE SHOW OUR PERSONA TO OTHERS WE ARE USUALLY MASKING WHO WE TRULY ARE. ACCORDING TO JUNG, OUR GOAL IN LIFE IS TO COME TO REALIZE WHO WE ARE AND ACCEPT THIS (SELF-REALIZATION). THIS ACCEPTANCE INCLUDES CONFRONTING OUR FEARS (SHADOW), RECEIVING UNCONDITIONAL LOVE (MOTHER), AND COMING TO TERMS WITH BOTH OUR FEMALE AND MALE SIDES (ANIMA) AND MALE (ANIMUS) SIDES.
