Carl Gustav Jung (1875–1961) — Swiss psychiatrist who founded analytical (Jungian) psychology. Key ideas, simply:
- Psyche structure: ego (conscious),personal unconscious(forgotten/repressed material), and collective unconscious (shared, universal-layer). Wikipedia
- Archetypes: universal symbolic patterns(Shadow, Persona, Anima/Animus, Hero,Mother, Wise Old Man, Child) that shape-dreams, myths, and behavior. Wikipedia1
- Individuation: life‑long process of-becoming a whole, integrated Self by-bringing unconscious parts into-consciousness. Wikipedia1
- Persona and Shadow: Persona = publicmask; Shadow = repressed, often negativeor unloved parts that need integration.Simply Psychology1
- Anima/Animus: inner feminine (in men) andinner masculine (in women) influencing relationships and creativity.Simply Psychology
- Psychological types: introversion vs.extraversion and four function attitudes(thinking, feeling, sensing, intuiting) —basis for later personality typologies (e.g.,MBTI). Wikipedia1
- Synchronicity: meaningful coincidences that are not causally related butpsychologically significant. Wikipedia1
- Emphasis on symbols, dreams, myths, and spiritual experience as routes to-understanding the unconscious andpromoting healing. thesap.org.uk1
Short summary: Jung saw the psyche as driven toward wholeness; he believed shared, inherited patterns (archetypes) live in a collective unconscious and that integrating unconscious contents (individuation) is central to psychological health. Wikipedia1
