Carl Jung
"Everything that
irritates us about
others can lead
us to an
understanding of
ourselves."
Who is Carl Jung?
Carl Jung was born in Kesswill Switzerland
(1875).
As a child he was interested in history,
archaeology, and philosophy.
He studied medicine at the University of
Basel and discovered he had a passion for
psychiatry. He became a psychiatrist as it
gave him the opportunity to study both the
spiritual and factual sides of the world.
For 9 years he was an assistant physician at
a Psychiatric Hospital
He studied Schizophrenia extensively.
His Early Career…
In 1907 Jung went to Vienna to meet Freud where
they studied along side each other for a number of
years. They developed their own theories and
corresponded through letters.
They came to parting ways because Jung disagreed
with Freud’s belief that the sexual component was
the only part of the human personality. Jung also felt
Freud was too narrow-minded about his views on the
unconscious mind and dream interpretation. Freud’s
main theories were that our sexual libido controlled
our unconscious thoughts and when dreaming it was
our sexual thoughts that controlled the content of
these dreams.
His first ideas were
His published in Psychology
Early of the Unconscious (it
contained much about
Caree mythological content
r and listed parallels
between myths and
Cont. psychotic fantasies).
He went on to develop
his own theory called
analytic psychology, for
half a century he wrote
religiously about
personality in regards to
symbolic, mythological,
and spiritual views.
His Major Theories…
·Focused on the
unconscious and
conscious mind…he
believed that the
unconscious played more
of a role in controlling
our thought process
(especially during
dreaming)
·The collective
unconscious was also
more dominant factor in
the development of
human personality
