The Influences Of C. G. Jung

When Jung published his pivotal book named Transformations and Symbols of the Libido in 1912, Jung for the first time proposed the existence of the collective unconscious. The major source of Jung’s new inspiration came from the Miller fantasies interpreted by Theodore Floumoy, a renowned psychologist and a reverted friend of Jung. Being a young and intelligent student of Floumoy, Miss Frank Miller wrote a phenomenological dissertation named Some Instances of Subconscious Creative Imagination describing the fantastical images of her inward journey. During the analysis, Jung’s observation of archetypal images and mythological characters in the Miller fantasies acted as a catalyst on his stored-up ideas especially after his deep accumulation

Carl Jung (1875 – 1961) was a one time friend and colleague of Sigmund Freud, who initially held similar views to Freud. He started to feel dissatisfied with Freud’s ideas though and broke away from that school of thought in 1913. Jung also had a great interest in mystical and magical subjects, Buddhism and Hinduism, which influenced Jung’s own ideas on a theory of personality. He too, suggested there were 3 parts; the conscious mind (or ego), the personal unconscious, and the collective unconscious. ‘The main point of difference between the two men (Jung and Freud) was Freud’s definition of sexuality and libido. Although Jung conceded the importance of the

Carl Gustav Jung was born on July 26th 1875. He was born to Paul Achilles Jung and Emilie Preiswerk in the town of Kesswil, Switzerland. Jung was the 4th child born but the only child that survived. His family life was strained, and his mother spent the majority of her time locked in her room, where she said that spirits visited her at night. When the family moved to Laufen his mother was hospitalized due to an unknown physical ailment. Jung was sent to live with his mother 's unmarried sister, but was later sent back home to his father. The stressful relationship with his mother in his early life influenced Jung’s attitude towards women, one he describes as being “of innate unreliability". This was a view that he later referred to as the "handicap I started off with."

Freud believed our behavior is already determined by our experiences we had from childhood through the unconscious mind and that the occurrences we had in our childhood can have such an impact on our behavior as we grow into adulthood. Psychodynamic theory is often referred to as psychoanalytical therapy which describes the terms of personality through psychological process which includes our dreams, fears and wishes we are not fully aware of through psychotherapy explores the clients unconscious thoughts and emotions. He suggested that our personalities are formed by three reasons: the ego, id, and superego the Intrapsychic elements. A supporter of Sigmund Freud early on was Carl Jung, a member of Vienna Psychoanalytic Society. They shared interest of the unconscious. Jung anticipated that the unconscious mind consisted of two layers which emphasized the importance of the unconscious in relation to personality. Personal unconscious is the first layer and this layer is basically the same version of the unconscious as Freud’s. This part of the unconscious contains information that is temporarily forgotten and becomes a part of your repressed memories. The Collective Unconscious known as the second layer is considered the most important and significant difference between Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud. This is said to be Jung’s most original workings and that it is very controversial to the personality theory. (McLeod, S. A. (2014). Carl Jung.

Carl Jung was a Swiss psychologist who had many theories that still influence the scientific field today. One of his more famous theories deals

A liberal education allows people to study this; however, a more conservative education would not because studying the mind is not essential in academics. Psychology studies the things that people cannot see, such as conscious and unconscious states. It also allows people to not have to accept what other people say. In the essay written by Jung, he stated, “If in such cases we pursue our observations systematically and without prejudice, we shall find material which, although similar in form to the previous personal contents, yet seems to contain allusions that go far beyond the personal sphere”(345). Carl Jung did not agree with Freud’s theory, so he did his own research, and found Freud’s research to be inconclusive. Because of his liberal education and study in psychology, Jung was able to control the forces in his life and did not agree with what was thought by Freud.

Carl Jung was a Swiss innovator progressing various theories of the unconscious mind. The Swiss psychotherapist based his work on Sigmund Freud's perspectives and beliefs of the unconscious mind. Carl Jung had deducted that a human's unconscious personality could not have started in the cognizant personality. The thought that certain ideas and pieces of imagination within the unconscious were shared to all individuals within a society was assumed by Jung. This mental imagery were claimed as "Archetypes" by Jung (hence the term "Jungian archetypes") due to the images being ubiquitous and all inclusive to humans.

Self-awareness is one of the first things we should strive for when becoming an effective leader. If we do not know how to get the most out of ourselves, how could we possibly hope to lead others? Taking personal assessments is one way to become more aware of your behavior and personality. By taking the Jung Typology and DISC Assessments, I was able to better understand how my personality and behavior impact my leadership style.

Jung was very gifted even earlier in his career; He was always different than the rest of his colleagues at the Burghölzli mental hospital. In his memoir, he spoke about how psychology back then was only about the diagnosis, psychiatrists did not care to help the patient, or in other words psychology was not about treatment but mostly about the diagnosis (Jung, 1963). He recollects the first patient he decided to “treat”, and how she was diagnosed by his other colleagues with schizophrenia, even though he was suspecting of the accuracy of the diagnosis and thought she only had a case of depression. He decided to experiment on this patient and try to help her overcome her depression. After a couple of association tests, and several sessions

Carl Gustav Jung is a Swiss psychiatrist and the successor of psychoanalysis with important intellectual movements of the twentieth century. In his early career, Jung was influenced by the theory of Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis (Breger 2000, p. 217). However, they came into disagreement in notions which then broke their relationship. It was because Freud’s view of myth was based on reality, which there was no religion involved, whereas Jung though that myth was based on both reality and religion. Consequently, Jung’s notions were commonly accepted by society because of the wider context. Then, through his research and clinical findings, he developed some concepts like archetypes, collective unconscious, shadow, extrovert and introvert and persona (Carter 2011 p. 442). These concepts help Jung to deepen the explanation about myth. For Jung, myth is a projection of archetypes and collective unconscious. Their form are universal and identical with every society back into history. Myth can be identical because the original form, the archetypes, is configured to be the same among human's unconscious globally where people's psychic realm encounters certain motifs and typical figures that built into the structure of man’s unconsciousness (Jung Myth Ex. 3-4). According to Edward Tylor and James Frazer, myth and science were contradict where science was factual and myth was not (Segal 2003, p. 48). Therefore, myth has an important role in human nature and modern

Jung also felt his mental patients at the asylum of Burgholzli were lost souls, hanging out in the land of the dead, an intuition that persons undergoing psychosis are lost to the everyday world of ordinary reality and are lost in the imaginal realm of non-ordinary reality (the collective unconscious). On occasion, Jung was able to pull such persons out of this lost realm and back into ordinary life. Certainly through his analytic and psychotherapy practice, he was able to facilitate the recovery of souls, not through trance journeys, but through analysis of dreams, of transference and counter-transference, and through the power of a deep relationship with him (Kindle Locations 1989-1993).

Jung made some major contributions in psychotherapy. Jung was the first to say that a therapist himself must be analyzed (Storr, 1991). Unlike Freud who had his patients lie on a couch, Jung suggested that face to face contact with a patient was essential (Storr, 1991). He wanted to see his patients face. He also saw patients less times a week then Freud did (Storr, 1991). He stated that he did not want his patients to stop living their normal everyday lives. Dreams were an important aspect of Jung’s psychotherapy. He dedicated a great deal of time and work on the interpretation of dreams

In the 1920’s, a Swiss psychologist named Carl Jung devised a theory. Jung didn’t accept the idea that the behaviors of people were random. Instead, he was a firm believer that the differences between individuals were a result of how people use their brains. Jung claimed that “what appears to be random behavior is actually the result of differences in the way people prefer to use their mental capacities.” (The Myers & Briggs Foundation). Jung realized that people typically function in one of two ways, take in information or make decisions, and that people usually are more comfortable alone or around others. With all these observations, Jung wrote a book titled Psychological Types, which introduced the idea of personality and psychological

Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and founder of the school of analytical psychology. He proposed and developed the concepts of the extroverted and introverted personality, archetypes, and the collective unconscious. The issues that he dealt with arose from his personal experiences. For many years Jung felt as if he had two separate personalities. One introverted while the other was extroverted.

Carl Jung was a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist born in 1875 in Switzerland. He worked with Sigmund Freud for a while but branched off because he disagreed with him about the “sexual basis of neurosis”. Jung believed that there is a collective unconscious that is connected to everyone. God is included in this collective unconscious. His theory included what he called archetypes; pathways of energy (not things) that are shared in the collective. four main archetypes are: The Self, The Shadow, The Anima/Animus, and the Persona. The Self is the combination of the conscious, and the individual’s unconscious. the self is usually represented by a square or a circle. The self tries to make itself known. The shadow is made up of our sexual desires or instincts, and is credited with being the darker side of our personalities. The Anima/Animus are the masculine and feminine of our psyche. There are traces of each found in both women and men. The Persona is the face that people put on for others. The word “persona” comes from the Latin word for mask. This is the personality the world sees. (Carl Jung Archetypes) Jung coined the word
