>Ex. Psychological Therapy
Freud's theories were psychoanalytic whereas
the term psychodynamic refers to both his
theories and those of his followers. Freud's
psychoanalysis is both a theory and therapy.
In 1914, Carl Gustav Jung finally decided
to quit from Freud wherein few years after,
Alfred Adler backed-off and quitted from
psychodynamic, while Jung created a
school of thought called Analytical
Psychology.
Jung believed that every individual is
driven not just by repressed encounters
yet by the inherited experiences of our
ancestors in the past which is containing
ours as well. To condense, Jung called it
as collective unconscious.
an archetype means "a universal images,
thoughts,ideas, symbols that contain a
large element of emotion. It is the structural
component the collective unconsciousness.
The (8) Eight
Archetypes
1. Persona - it is one of the basic
archetypal teachings of analytical

world or public arena.


2. Shadow- this archetype symbolizes a person's
dark side. This is indirectly referred as
characteristics of an individual instinct being hidden
to self-involving others. According to Eric Neumann,
to quote:

"Shadow is the result of collective adaptation. It


contains all those elements in the personality which
the ego condemns as negative values".
3. Anima - A feminine archetype which also
explained how homosexuality is analyzed as
psychologically bisexual and possessed both
masculine and feminine traits; and not a result
of social encounters and exposures but
through ancestral influences transmitted in the
progress of human evolution.
4. Animus- It is a masculine archetype in women
which strongly suggests their understanding about
how men lives and exist through familiarity which can
be explained through psychoanalysis. An individual
female can do masculine jobs like policewomen on
highways, feminine welders, driving mothers and
those who can even sing like a man, projecting a
man's voice in her.
5. Great Mother - Archetypes of the great mother are
associated with both positive (loving) and negative (terrible)
feelings, thus representing two opposing forces as described
below:

Fertility and Nourishment Symbols: A mother is capable of


producing and sustaining life.
Power and Destruction: A great mother is
conceived as a femine archetype under the
dominance and all supernatural patterns which rule
is unconscious, hidden.
6. Wise Old Man - The wise old man is
a symbolism for wisdom and knowledge.
The wise old man is more perceived in
dreams where archetypes are be
represented by a great teacher, priest,
pastors or an old grandfather.
7. Hero - This powerful archetype that
combats to conquest the wicked and
considered mythical and legendary. This
archetype is represented by a great
conqueror against dragons and beasts
that are deem powerful.
8. Self - This is an archetype describing how
fulfilling and perfect one gives value towards
personality. The mandala is a symbol that
indicates how the ego is moving closer toward
the self rather than in the direction of objective
adaptation. Manda talks about self-formation
where self-realization takes place.
In the book of Neumann (1954) stressed that, "self-
realization begin in earnest when human
consciousness develops into self-consciousness.
Self-reflection is a characteristic of the pubertal
phase of humanity as it is of the pubertal phase of the
individual. It is a necessary phase of human
knowledge, and it is only persistence in this phase
that has fatal effects.
According to Apruebo (2008) "self-realization
that is, it stands for unity, totality, and order, people
must have to overcome their fear of the
unconscious; prevent their personal from
dominating their personality; recognize the dark
side of themselves (their shadow); and then
muster even greater courage to face their anima or
animus".
Also, "self-realization is associated with
"psychological rebirth" or "individuation," the process
of becoming an individual or whole person. Thus,
Analytical Psychology is essentially a psychology of
opposites, and self-realization is the process of
integrating the opposite poles into a single homogenous
individual.
