Jungian Psychology Classifies Introverts Into Four Different Categories The world is filled with unique mentalities and eccentricities. Human traits can be lined up and it would not be unlike a buffet line serving characters, expressions, ideas and imagination. With the entire human mind to untangle, we are only going to be looking briefly into Jungian classification of the four cognitive functions : Social introversion, thinking introversion, anxious introversion and restrained introversion.

archetypes and complexes as part of a larger initiative to build a foundation for learning within the field of Depth Psychology. Such an exploration cannot be undertaken, however, without regard to an important psychic sub-structure where complexes and archetypes interact.

The psychological lens focuses on the personality, state of mind, feelings, and desires of a character. Specifically in Jungian psychology, there is an emphasis on the human psyche. The human psyche is the mind of an individual and consists of the conscious, the unconscious, and the shadow. The shadow is the area deep down in the unconscious where painful and distracting memories and thoughts are buried. The shadow acts as a defensive mechanism and drags the pain into the shadow as a way for the

Psychoanalytic, Jungian, and Individual Psychology Theories When the word classical is used, images of things developed long ago with their traditional styles and ideas come to mind. They are perceived today as outdated and not as effective. Classical models of psychotherapy although deemed outdated, still have relevance in today’s practice of understanding human behavior.

As the Heart of Darkness snakes its way into the savage shadows of the African continent, Joseph Conrad exposes a psycho-geography of the collective unconscious in the entangling metaphoric realities of the serpentine Congo. Conrad’s novella descends into the unknowable darkness at the heart of Africa, taking its narrator, Marlow, on an underworld journey of individuation, a modern odyssey toward the center of the Self and the center of the Earth. Ego dissolves into soul as, in the interior, Marlow

Hamlet: Jungian Perspectives The term consciousness refers to "your individual awareness of your unique thoughts, memories, feelings, sensations and environment” (Kendra Cherry, http://psychology.about.com). Our unconscious contains thoughts, memories, and desires that are well below the surface of awareness but that nevertheless have a great influence on behavior.

The Love Song of J.Alfred Prufrock - The Distress of J.Alfred Prufrock The human psyche is divided into three distinct aspects: the Persona, the Shadow, and the Anima/Animus; at least, it is according to Jungian Psychology. Drawing heavily on the theories developed by Freud, Jung's psychological concepts tell us that if these three facets are not properly integrated - that is, if one of the three is overly dominant, or repressed, or all three are in conflict with each other - then an individual's

the lens of psychology. There are multiple approaches to the psychological aspect of literature but the two most recognized are the Freudian and Jungian approach. The best approach to use when critically analyzing the novel Of Mice and Men, written by John Steinbeck, is the Jungian approach.

Count of Monte Cristo. In Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo, Edmond Dantes is a wrongfully punished man, who undergoes a dramatic psychological transformation; the Jungian Archetypes of, Ego, Self, and Shadow, as well as other attributes of Jungian psychology were very evident in his transformation, and these Jungian archetypes and attributes best explain his dramatic character change.

The Life and Work of C.G. Jung Reconsidered      In my original paper on Carl Gustav Jung, I took a rather skeptical view of the doctor and his work, for several reasons that I will reiterate. However, after studying further into his work, I realized that these objections only related to his early psychiatric cases, and I found myself to be far more intrigued and impressed by his later work and theories. While I had stated in my first consideration of Jung that, “there is a frustratingly limited
