ANALYTICAL

PSYCHOLOGY
CARL GUSTAV
JUNG

Psychiatrist from University of

Bassel

Proposed and developed the

concepts of the extraverted and the
introverted personality, archetypes,
and the collective unconscious
According to Jung, the ego represents the conscious mind as it comprises the
thoughts, memories, and emotions a person is aware of. The ego is largely
responsible for feelings of identity and continuity.
Like Freud, Jung (1921, 1933) emphasized the importance of the unconscious in
relation to personality. However, he proposed that the unconscious consists of two
layers.

• The Personal Unconscious

• The Collective Unconscious
The first layer called the personal unconscious is essentially the
same as Freud’s version of the unconscious. The personal
unconscious contains temporality forgotten information and well
as repressed memories.

Jung (1933) outlined an important feature of the personal

unconscious called complexes.

A complex is a collection of thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and

memories that focus on a single concept.
eg: Mother complex
 Archetypes (Jung, 1947) are images and thoughts which
have universal meanings across cultures which may show
up in dreams, literature, art or religion.

• The “persona” (or mask) is the outward face we present

to the world.
• The “anima/animus” is the mirror image of our
LEVELS OF biological sex.
THE PSYCHE • The ”shadow” this is the animal side of our personality
(like the id in Freud).
• The ”self” which provides a sense of unity in
experience.
INTROVERT VS EXTROVERT
Carl Jung was one of the first people to define the terms introvert and extrovert in
a psychological context. He believed that extraverts direct their energy
outwards - towards other people - and gain energy from such encounters.
Introverts, meanwhile, focus their energy inwards, towards more solitary,
thoughtful activities.
JUNGS'S PERSONALITY TYPES
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator or MBTI is based off of Jung's work. It is a self-
report questionnaire indicating differing psychological preferences in how people
perceive the world and make decisions. The test attempts to assign four categories:
introversion or extraversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, judging or
perceiving.
 Jung's Stages of
Development
• Childhood- According to Jung, ego begins to develop in
early childhood years because their own unique identity
has not been formed yet.
• He believes that a child’s personality develops which is a
reflection of both of his/her parents and a little more
modified to that. Parents have a big role in child’s
development of personality, they can help shape the child’s
personality through their influence.
• Consciousness starts when the child says “I” and
distinguish him/herself from others and the world. Through
that, the ego is more developed.

 Jung's Stages
of Development

• Young and early years- from puberty until 35-40

there is maturing sexuality, growing consciousness,
and them a realization that the carefree days of
childhood are gone forever.

• Middle life – The realization that you will not live

forever creates tension. If you desperately try to
cling to your youth, you will fail in the process of
self-realization. At this stage, you experience what
Jung called “Metanoia” (change of mind) and there
is a tendency to more introverted and philosophical
thinking.

•
Old age – consciousness is reduced in the last years,
at the same time, there is the acquisition of wisdom.
Jung thought that deathis the ultimate goal of life.
