To discuss:

The ways in which Jung’s image of human nature differ from Freud’s.

Introduction:

The major point of difference between Freud and Jung’s image of human nature was that the former was of the belief the personality solely depends upon the childhood experiences till the age of 5 years. Jung completely opposed this theory. He did not disregard the influence of the childhood experiences on the personality but believed that it has a lesser role.
