Born in Kesswil, Switzerland; Died in Kusnacht, Switzerland, these cities are only 88 kilometers apart so it seems this man didn’t travel very far but the contributions he made to the field of psychology and psychiatry have made sure that this man’s legend is known in every corner of the world, this man is Carl Jung. Carl Jung was born in 1875, the only child of a protestant pastor, growing up as an only child it was a surprise to no one that the young Carl was quite lonely and spent much time retreated into himself, in consequence of this he had a very vivid information and also spent many hours observing his parents and teachers trying his best with his childish mind to solve the issues that plagued them. Jung’s father was a pastor who as
He is known to be the creator of analytical psychology, which emphasizes the importance of the individual psyche and the personal quest for wholeness. Jung grew up feeling both special and inadequate and due to his nature, he ended up creating a personality within himself, known as his personality Number Two, which was his authentic self that brought about refuge. Though Number Two was a safe place for Jung to hide, often times this personality was fragile and elusive, so most of the time Jung had to settle for personality Number One, the fake personality that satisfied the people around him. Due to these two personalities, Jung was in constant turmoil throughout his childhood.
In his private life however as shown in the biography “Jung the Mystic: The Esoteric Dimensions of Carl Jung’s Life and Teachings” he was a strong believer in that ghosts, visions and premonitions played a critical role in the important mystery of life. This dichotomy can be traced back to his mother claiming to have the ability to communicate with the dead and herself having believed greatly in other such occult myths. Jungs life was also in his eyes plagued by paranormal phenomena like his imaginary homunculus childhood friend that he later used as proof for the collective unconscious. He also attended seances and openly wrote about mediums like his cousin Freud rejected any and all kinds of mysticism out of
Nietzsche’s influence extended beyond philosophy to psychology. Notably, Sigmund Freud, the architect of psychoanalysis and analytic psychology founder, Carl Jung are said to be influenced by Nietzsche’s work (Brians, 1998). Although Nietzsche’s work left impressions on several other twentieth century psychologists, including Alfred Adler, Abraham Maslow and Ayn Rand, for the purpose of this essay the effect on Freud and Jung’s work will be in primary focus. Jung was fascinated by Nietzsche and his work. From Jung’s student days to him being a pioneer in the psychoanalytic movement, Jung read and developed his own thoughts regarding Nietzsche’s ideas and work (Rensma, 2012).
He also believed that the unconsciousness played a huge role in personality. Jung believed the inherited experiences of human nature and pre-human species was important in forming ones personality. Carl Jung was
According to Jung how an individual interacts with the world around them influences the type of attitudes and personality traits that they will incorporate, as is the example with extraverted people (those who are dominant in their social settings) and introverts (those who chose to be less dominant in a social setting) (Hopwood, A, 2014). The personal unconscious of Jung’s theory is, in essence, the same as Freud 's idea of the unconscious mind (Mcleod, S, 2014). It arises from the interactions between the collective unconscious and the individual 's development
Two of the most famous psychologists/psychiatrists in our history Sigmund Freud (May 6, 1856-September 23, 1939), was an Austrian Neurologist responsible for the theory of psychoanalysis, and Carl Jung (July 26, 1875-June 6, 1961) a Swiss psychologist responsible for the theory of analytic psychology. Both attended the school of psychology in Vienna, and Jung at one point was Freud’s student. Both Freud and Jung had very distinct views on how religion begins in our psyche. Religion is very powerful and has influenced every aspect of our lives, Freud and Jung understood this and have attempted to answer the complexity of religion. Jung believed that our unconscious is multi layered and that religion affords people a safe place.
Carl Jung thought that some parts in unconscious are much bigger then sexual or aggressive emotions. In his writings about the person he explains that individuals are motivated by some unexplainable forces and forms that comes from the DNA. He believes that genetic code has a soul material that explains people’s aspiration to creative progressiveness and physical perfection. Jung’s theory about a psychological behavior helps us to understand the nature of people’s emotions, their relationship with he nature etc. it means the social behavior.
Sigmund Freud was a famous psychologist and publisher of The Interpretation of Dreams; he was the first one to suggest that dreams may serve a particular scientific purpose (Bernstein). Freud began to analyze dreams because he thought that dreams had a connection to people’s personalities. He also believed that dreams happened for a reason, to preserve sleep. In addition, Freud thought that dreams could reveal a person’s deepest unconscious wishes and desires (McAndrew). Freud’s theory viewed all dreams as a form of wish fulfillment.
SIMILARITIES IN THE PSYCHOLOANALYTIC AND NEOPSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY There are some similarities in their theories, they both based their theories on the assumption that the mind or psyche is divided into the conscious and the unconscious. They both these terms in the same way: the conscious refers to that which is readily available while the unconscious is essentially irretrievable or things that we are not aware of. Jung was still attached to his Freudian roots; he emphasized the unconscious more than the Freudians do (Boersee 2006: 16). Their concept of the id and the shadow were also quite similar despite the change in name.
