Life Energy, but sometimes used

 Psychic Values
• Psychic Value
–The amount of psychic energy invested
in an element of the personality
–The higher the psychic value of a
particular element of personality, the
more likely that it will influence
behavior.
 Principle of equivalence
• If energy is expended in bringing about a
certain condition, the amount of energy will
appear elsewhere in the system.
 Principle of entropy
• The distribution of energy in the psyche seeks
an equilibrium of balance.
• If two psychic values are of unequal strength,
energy will tend to pass from the stronger
value to the weaker value until a balance is
reached.
 Development of the personality
• Causality vs. Teleology
– Causality
• The present events are the consequences or
effects of past/antecedent conditions.
– Teleology
• Explains the present in terms of the future
• Personality is comprehended in terms of where
it is going, not in terms of where it has been.
 Development of the personality
• Synchronicity
– Applies to events that occur together in
time but are not the cause of one another.
– Many events /experiences cannot be
explained by either chance or causality.
Therefore, there is a higher order in the
universe that explains this.
– May explain ESP and paranormal events
 Stages of development
• Childhood
– Child’s life is determined by instinctual
activities necessary for survival
– Governed by parental demands
– Unlike Freud, Jung did not emphasize the
determining power of childhood for
subsequent behavior.
 Stages of development
• Young Adulthood
– Psychic Birth of the personality
– Sexuality emerges
– Child differentiates from parents
– Extraversion is primary attitude and
consciousness dominates mental life
 Stages of development
• Middle Age
– The need for meaning emerges
– Shifts toward an introverted attitude
– Movement toward self-realization
– The values are sublimated into social, civic,
philosophical, religious, spiritual
preoccupations.
 The individuation process and
Transcendent Functions
• Individuation
– The crucial process of differentiation/full
development of all the different systems of the
personality
• Transcendent Function
– The process of integrating all the differentiated
aspects of the psyche
• Individuation + Transcendent Function = Self-
Realization
 Self-realization
• The state of fullest most complete
differentiation and harmonious blending of all
the aspects of a human’s total personality.
• The Self becomes the new center.
 Dreams
• Big Dreams
– Has many archetypal elements
• Little Dreams
– Contain mostly conscious elements
 Dreams
• Method of Amplification
– Giving multiple associations to an dream element and
developing these associations
• Dream Series Method
– When a series of dreams are used for analysis and
interpretation
• Active imagination
– Concentrating on an unintelligible dream image or
spontaneous visual image and observing what
happens to the image.
Myers-briggs type indicator (MBTI)

theory
• Identifies 16 personality types based on Jung’s
Attitudes, Functions, and Auxiliary Functions.
