Carl Jung

Carl Jung departed from Freud's psychoanalytic theories and founded analytical psychology. He believed psychic energy encompasses more than just sexuality, including spirituality and creativity. Jung's theory proposes a three-part model of the psyche consisting of the conscious ego, personal unconscious, and collective unconscious containing archetypes. The goal of individuation is achieving wholeness through integrating conscious and unconscious elements. Jung identified functions of consciousness and personality types that form the basis of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality test.

 THEORY OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY

What is the central concept of Jung’s theory?


INDIVIDUATION

 Central concept of Jung’s theory


 lifelong process of achieving psychological wholeness and self-realization

Remember: As people age, they have the opportunity to engage in the process of
individuation, which is the journey toward becoming one’s true and authentic self.

Primary idea: Physic Energy or Life force

 human motivation was not only driven by sexuality but also by a more general life force
encompassing other motivations, such as creativity, spirituality, and intellectual pursuits.

THREE-PART MODEL OF THE HUMAN PSYCHE:


1. Conscious ego: This is the outermost layer and represents an individual's conscious
awareness
2. Personal Unconscious: Located beneath the ego, it contains an individual's unique
experiences, memories, and even repressed thoughts and emotions also referred to as
complexes.
3. Collective Unconscious: Deeper still, it is a reservoir of universal experiences and
symbols shared by all humans, including archetypal symbols and themes.

Collective Unconscious: ARCHETYPE

 fundamental, cross-cultural symbols and themes found within the collective unconscious
 “Pattern of behavior”

What will happen if psychological Imbalance and disturbances occur?

 Depression
 Anxiety
 Impaired decision making
 Trauma/ phobia
 Spiritual crises

Carl Jung identified 4 primary functions of consciousness:


o Sensation: Perception of sensory information through
the five senses.
o Intuition: Perception of abstract patterns and
possibilities.
o Thinking: Logical analysis and reasoning.
o Feeling: Evaluation of the emotional significance of events and experiences.

Two Principal Personality Orientations:


1. Introversion: Individuals with a preference for introversion tend to seek intensive
contact with the inner world of thoughts and ideas.
2. Extroversion: Those with a preference for extroversion direct their psychic energy
outward and focus on the external world.

Results to 8 Personality types:


1. Extroverted and introverted thinking
2. Extroverted and introverted feeling
3. Extroverted and introverted sensation
4. Extroverted and introverted intuition

This leads to the foundation of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator or the MBTI
personality test

Introducing the Concept of Ego, Persona, and Shadow:


1. Ego – conscious and rational self
2. Persona – social mask presented to the world
3. Shadow – hidden, often negative aspect of the self
Aging and The Self

1. As individuals age, they have the potential to move closer to realizing the Self, which is
the central archetype representing the totality of the psyche.
2. Self-realization is a lifelong process, but it becomes more prominent and achievable in
later stages of life.
3. Accumulated life experiences and wisdom of older individuals could be a valuable
resource for self-discovery and personal growth

CONCLUSION:

In conclusion, Carl Jung's analytical psychology offers a comprehensive framework for


understanding the human psyche. It emphasizes the importance of inner exploration, self-
awareness, and the integration of unconscious elements as pathways to personal development
and self-realization. Jung's work has had a profound impact on psychology and continues to
influence fields such as personality assessment, psychotherapy, and the study of human
consciousness.
