...Pasaporte Carl Jung Until the 1910s, Carl Jung was a follower and close friend of Freud’s. Like Freud, Jung believed that unconscious conflicts are important in shaping personality. However, he believed the unconscious has two layers: the personal unconscious, which resembled Freud’s idea, and the collective unconscious, which contains universal memories of the common human past. Jung called these common memories archetypes. Archetypes are images or thoughts that have the same meaning for all human beings. Jung said that archetypes exist in dreams as well as in art, literature, and religion across cultures. According to Jung, the ego represents the conscious mind while the personal unconscious contains memories, including those that have been suppressed. The collective unconscious is a unique component in that Jung believed that this part of the psyche served as a form of psychological inheritance. It contains all of the knowledge and experiences we share as a species. Jung's theory divides the psyche into three parts. The first is the ego,which Jung identifies with the conscious mind. Closely related is the personal unconscious, which includes anything which is not presently conscious, but can be. The personal unconscious is like most people's understanding of the unconscious in that it includes both memories that are easily brought to mind and those that have been suppressed for some reason. But it does not include the instincts that Freud would have it include. But then Jung adds the...

...Paper name Psy 360 your name Instructor date Freud and Jung: Early Psychoanalytic Theories Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung were two influential theorists in psychology (Nystul, M., 2005). Freud was considered the father of psychology and believed that human behavior was the result of unconscious conflict deep in the mind of individuals (Nystul, M., 2005). Jung’s theory developed directly out of Freud’s psychoanalytic approach; however he refuted several of Freud’s key points and placed an even greater emphasis on the unconscious. Freud and Jung were the key figures of the psychoanalytic approach to psychology; however their theories differed on several key points (Nystul, M., 2005). Freud’s psychoanalytic theory was the seed for many subsequent theorists’ work. His main assertion was that human behavior and personality derived from the unconscious conflict that arose in individuals’ unconscious (Fayek, 2005). He postulated that the unconscious was a combination of the id, which was the primal drive for all human needs (e.g., sex, hunger), the superego, which could be likened to the internalization of societal values and standards (e.g., the conscience), and the moderating ego that was the rational part of thought that controlled the impulses of the id and superego. Anxiety arose when individuals were confronted with fears of danger within reality (Shill, 2004). Neurotic anxiety occurred when individuals were confronted with dangers that arose in childhood, and can be connected...

...Carl Gustav Jung was born on 26 July 1875 and died on 6th June 1961. Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who founded analytical psychology. Carl Jung was an early supporter of Freud because of their shared interest in the unconscious. He was an active member of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society. Carl agreed with Freud in many areas but not in regards to the Oedipus Complex. Jung proposed and developed the concepts of extraversion and introversion archetypes and the collective unconscious. His work has been influential in psychiatry and in the study of religion, philosophy, archeology, anthropology, literature, and related fields. Much of Carl’s work was not published until after his death. Carl Jung believed that “the central concept of analytical psychology is individuation the psychological process of integrating the opposites, including the conscious with the unconscious, while still maintaining their relative autonomy”. Jung considered individuation to be the central process of any human development. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a popular psychometric instrument, was developed from Jung's theory of psychological types. Jung saw the human psyche as "by nature religious" and made this religiousness the focus of his explorations.]Jung is one of the best known contemporary contributors to dream analysis and symbolisation. Through research, I have discovered Jung was a practising clinician and considered himself to be a scientist, much of his...

...[pic] CARL JUNG 1875 - 1961 Dr. C. George Boeree [pic] Anyone who wants to know the human psyche will learn next to nothing from experimental psychology. He would be better advised to abandon exact science, put away his scholar's gown, bid farewell to his study, and wander with human heart throught the world. There in the horrors of prisons, lunatic asylums and hospitals, in drab suburban pubs, in brothels and gambling-hells, in the salons of the elegant, the Stock Exchanges, socialist meetings, churches, revivalist gatherings and ecstatic sects, through love and hate, through the experience of passion in every form in his own body, he would reap richer stores of knowledge than text-books a foot thick could give him, and he will know how to doctor the sick with a real knowledge of the human soul. -- Carl Jung Freud said that the goal of therapy was to make the unconscious conscious. He certainly made that the goal of his work as a theorist. And yet he makes the unconscious sound very unpleasant, to say the least: It is a cauldron of seething desires, a bottomless pit of perverse and incestuous cravings, a burial ground for frightening experiences which nevertheless come back to haunt us. Frankly, it doesn't sound like anything I'd like to make conscious! A younger colleague of his, Carl Jung, was to make the exploration of this "inner space" his life's work. He went equipped with a background in Freudian theory, of course, and with an apparently inexhaustible...

...Mrs. Cheatham English 100 Feb 10, 2015 Critical Analysis of Carl Jung’s “The Importance of Dreams” Jung, one of the most important and most complex psychological theorist of all time, holds the belief that dreams are symbols of human unconsciousness. He finds the very intimate relationship between symbol, unconsciousness and dreams. In his essay “ The Importance of Dreams”, Jung describes that man produces symbols unconsciously and spontaneously, in the forms of dreams. He says that dreams are outlet of unconsciousness. He describes that how human incompetence to define and inability to explain certain things which is beyond human reasoning always expressed using different varieties of symbols such as natural symbols, cultural symbols and religious symbols. Jung’s idea is valid because things beyond the range of human understanding stores unconsciously without our conscious knowledge in human psyche which is revealed to us in a dream as a symbolic image. Jung believes that human unconsciousness exists and it expresses itself through our dreams using symbolic language. He asserts that “whoever denies the existence of the unconsciousness is in fact assuming that our present knowledge of the psyche is total. And this belief is clearly just as false as the assumption that we know all there is to be known about the natural universe” (192). Jung is right here because human race doesn’t know all about the natural universe. Human psyche is part of nature and nature...

...Theories of Jung and Freud Tiffinee Williams Southern New Hampshire University Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung both made significant impacts with their studies and theories regarding personality. Even though they did spend time together they had different ideas and theories about how personality develops and what it consists of. Sigmund Freud divided personality into three parts: the id, the ego and the superego. According to Freud traumatic events, repressed thoughts and sexual motivation are what personality consists of. The id, the ego and the super ego. The id forms our unconscious and is not bound by morality but instead only seeks to satisfy pleasure. The ego is our thoughts and ideas that help us deal with reality and the superego tries to find a balance between “socially acceptable behaviors” and the repressed desires and thoughts that exist in the id (Harley therapy 2013). Jung also agreed that the personality can be divided into three parts: the ego, the personal unconscious and the collective unconscious. According to Jung, the ego consists of conscious memories, the personal unconscious consisted experiences both recalled and suppressed from infancy and the collective unconscious consists of images or archetypes that are innate, universal ideas or projections that affect feelings and thoughts, but do not arise from personal experience. (Carl Jung Experience 2014). For example, the mother archetype is what governs the mother-child relationship in humans. Jung did not...

...Critique of Jung and Bandura Terrin M. Schnee Psychology 1400 Psychology of Personality Theories Spring 2014 Critique of Jung and Bandura Throughout the semester we have examined numerous psychological theorists and their theories. Their ideas were displayed focusing on the major components of each. Through this lens, we were able to familiarize ourselves with each. While each theory had many interesting parts, it was only natural that we would begin to form a bias toward some and against others. I personally took a strong inclination to Bandura and his theory of reciprocal determinism. Towards Jung, my attitude was not as positive. Bandura's theory of reciprocal determinism spoke to me on a personal level. I see applications and implications of it in both my personal life as well as in the career path I have chosen. Unlike many other theories, Bandura recognized that behavior, environment, and personal characteristics all influence one another. While I think some things may influence other things to a greater level, I agree that there is influence occurring from all components. I find other theories to be a bit flawed since they tend to focus primarily on one part as a causal agent. Bandura also believed that people were in control over their behavior. Cloninger points out that Bandura believed people controlled what they did, but vary in how they exert this control (251). To me the clearest...

...Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud Introduction Carl Jung (1875-1961) and Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) were two individuals whose theories on human personality would completely affect the way that people viewed the human mind. Carl Gustav was a practicing psychotherapist while Sigmund Freud created the discipline of psychoanalysis. The two men had seemingly identical beliefs about human behavior, but also had contrasting beliefs about concepts such as the ego, the psyche, and the state of unconsciousness. Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud’s Theories Sigmund Freud’s beliefs about personality were based on past experiences in an individual’s childhood. Freud stated that all human beings had three personality levels. These were the ego, the id, and the superego. The level of the id is the one that houses a person’s primitive drives and supports the enactment of decisions that are purely based on pleasure. The id’s objective is to avoid pain at all costs and only seek pleasurable sensations. The ego, on the other hand, identifies the significance of reality and makes decisions based on concepts such as judgment, perception recognition, and memory. The last level, the superego, is dedicated to seeking perfection (Reber, 2006). This level houses the individual’s accepted social morals and ideals in the conscience. Jung had different views about the different mental levels in the conscious mind. Instead of the ego, id, and superego, Jung perceived the human thought process as constituting of...

...Carl Jung thought of Sigmund Freud not only as a friend, but also that of a father figure with whom he could not only open his mind up to, but also his heart. Sigmund Freud thought Jung was energetic and a new and exciting addition to the psychoanalytical movement. But these feeling were about to change. Their friendship was also to end. Jung and Freud were a lot like and also had very different opinions. They both believed that the content of dreams should be interpreted, and that this would be help in treating the patient. They also had their differences. Jung disagreed with Freud of many things. Jung did not accept Freud’s theory on the role of sexuality, personality and the things that influence it, and the unconscious. Adler...

...Carl Jung has famous theory which is “Collective Unconscious”. It is existing in the depths of a person’s unconscious mind, and it is inborn universal unconscious. From his theory, he said that human being also has “archetype” which is meaning for “image pattern”. People have archetype, and it is using for our common understanding between people. For example, when we see a clay figure embracing a plump body shape woman, we say that it looks like mother, because we are imaging for “Mother’s Archetype”, on the other hand, when we image of a wise man who teaches strictly, you might be imaging about father. In this case we are based on “Father’s Archetype”. How about movie characters? I think that the most popular kinds of archetype of character...

...According to Jung the ego is everything that a person is conscious. The ego is concerned of the thinking process, feeling, remembering, and perceiving. It sees that the function of everyday life is carried out. It is responsible as well for our identity and sense of continuity in time. Not to compare the two of the ego and the psyche the psyche is both conscious and the substantial unconscious aspect of personality, more in as a complex personally disturbing a constellation of ideas. A complex has a very disproportionate influence on behavior. It occurs over and over again in our life. Such in a mother complex will spend time related to the idea of mother whereas the same in a father as in sex, power, money or any other complex. Jung didn't believe that the stages of development where important such as Freud. Jung defined the stages in terms of the focus of libidinal energy. Jung disagreed with Freud about the nature of the libido. Freud believed that the libido was mainly sexual in nature and how it was invested within the five years of life was determined by a large extent on what a individual adult personality would be like. He also believed that libidinal energy was directed simply toward whatever was important to the individual at the time and what was important changed as a function of a person's maturation. Jung believed that the libido as general biological life energy that is concentrated on different problems as they arise. Libido is the driving force behind the...

...Kim Dae-jung & Truth reconciliation South Korea’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission was established on December 1, 2005, during the presidency of Roh Moo-hyun. This governmental commission was set to investigate incidents in Korean history, all the way back from annexation of Korea by Japan in 1910, up to the election of Kim Young-Sam in 1993. South Korea has been subject to a period of military dictatorships, during which there was given little attention to truth-funding. Also, South Korea’s fight for democracy spans out on a long period of civil movements and demonstrations. They often led to uprisings, which were often repressed hard by authoritarian and military power. Demonstrations, like the Kwangju Uprising in 1980, were subject to murder, torture and other abuses of human right. These acts were often covered up and ignored by the government. However, the prosecution and sentencing of two former authoritarian rulers, Chun Doo-Hwan and Rho Tae-Woo in 1995, was a clear sign that times were changing and even successful coups can be punished. At the end of the 90s, laws for rectifying the past were established under the government of Kim Dae-Jung. The Truth & Reconciliation Commission would go stay active until 2010, when the conservative Lee Myung-Bak stopped the funding. What led to this sudden governmental interest in truth and reconciliation under the Kim Dae-Jung government? In this literature review we will look at the factors that instigated interest in...
