CARL JUNG'S ANALYTICAL

PSYCHOLOGY

Page 3: 3 analytical psychology
Page 4: 3 analytical psychology

BRIEF BIOGRAPHYCarl Jung was born in Switzerland in 1875, the oldest by about 9 years of two surviving children. Jung's father was an idealistic Protestant minister and his mother was a strict believer in mysticism and the occult. Jung's early experience with parents who were quite opposite of each other probably influenced his own theory of personality, including his fanciful No. 1 and Number 2 personalities. Soon after receiving his medical degree he became acquainted with Freud's writings and eventually with Freud himself. Not long after he traveled with Freud to the United States, Jung became disenchanted with Freud's pansexual theories, broke with Freud, and began his own approach to theory and therapy, which he called analytical psychology. From a critical midlife crisis during which he nearly lost contact with reality, Jung emerged to become one of the leading thinkers of the 20th century. He died in 1961 at age 85.

BASIC TENET

He saw people as extremely complex beings who are a product of both conscious and unconscious personal experiences. However, people are also motivated by

inherited remnants that spring from the collective experiences of their early ancestors.

Page 6: 3 analytical psychology

LIBIDO

It is the creative life force that could be applied to the continuous

psychological growth of the person.

Page 7: 3 analytical psychology

PSYCHEIt is a construct to represent all of the interacting

systems within human personality that are needed to account for the mental life and behavior of the person.

Page 8: 3 analytical psychology

LEVELS OF THE PSYCHE• Conscious, images that are sensed by the ego; plays minor role in

analytical psychology.

• Personal Unconscious, region that contains all of the personal experiences that have been blocked from awareness.

Complexes, emotionally toned conglomeration of associated ideas.

• Collective unconscious: depository of instincts and archetypes that go beyond personal experience; these transpersonal experiences are the residue of human evolutionary development

Page 9: 3 analytical psychology

Archetypes

These are universal themes or symbols that can be activated by forces operating in the psyche; derived from the collective unconscious.

• Persona: role human beings play in order to meet the demands of others

• Shadow: inferior, evil, and repulsive side of human nature

• Anima: feminine archetype in men, including both positive and negative characteristics of the transpersonal female

• Animus: masculine archetype in woman, including both positive and negative characteristics of the transpersonal male• Issues on logical thinking in female (animus), feelings for male (anima)

Page 10: 3 analytical psychology

Archetypes

• Great Mother, archetype for fertility and destruction

• Wise Old Man, intelligent but deceptive voice of accumulated experience.

• Hero, unconscious image of a person who conquers an evil who also has a tragic flaw.

• Self, completion, wholeness, and perfection.

Page 11: 3 analytical psychology

Archetypes (cont'd.)

• Self: archetype that leads people to search for ways of maximizing the development of their multifaceted potentials

• Transcendent function: process by which a conflict is resolved by bringing opposing forces into balance with each other through understanding

• Mandala: symbolic representation of the self; multifaceted, balanced, and harmonious

Page 12: 3 analytical psychology

The Theory of Psychological Types

• ATTITUDE, as a predisposition to act or react in a characteristic direction.

• Fundamental attitudes

• Extraversion: characterized by an outgoing and relatively confident approach to life

• Introversion: characterized by a retiring and reflective approach to life

The Theory of Psychological Types (cont'd.)

FOUR FUNCTIONS: • Sensing: initial, concrete experiencing of phenomena without the use of

reason

• Thinking: helps us understand events through the use of reason and logic

• Feeling: evaluation of events by judging whether they are good or bad, acceptable, or unacceptable

• Intuiting: relying on hunches when dealing with strange situations that have no established facts

• Rational functions: modes of making judgments or evaluations of events in the world. (thinking and feeling)

• Irrational functions: modes of apprehending the world without evaluating it. (sensation and intuition)

Page 14: 3 analytical psychology

The Theory of Psychological Types (cont'd.)

• Theory of psychological types: people classified into eight types on the basis of a combination of attitudes and functions

• Extraverted thinking type: characterized in a positively by an ability to organize masses of facts into a coherent theory, and in negatively by a selfish and exploitative attitude toward others

• Introverted thinking type: characterized positively by imagination and an ability to think originally and boldly, and negatively by social ineptness

• Extraverted feeling type: characterized positively by an acceptance of the standards of society, and negatively by a change in emotions from situation to situation

Page 15: 3 analytical psychology

The Theory of Psychological Types (cont'd.)

• Introverted feeling type: characterized positively by intense feelings of sympathy for others who have experienced misfortune, and negatively by shyness and inaccessibility

• Extraverted sensing type: characterized positively by an appreciation for the arts, and negatively by crude pleasure seeking

• Introverted sensing type: characterized positively by the intensity of subjective sensations, and negatively by oversensitivity and obtuseness

• Extraverted intuitive type: characterized positively by a quick grasp of the creative possibilities in various ventures, and negatively by impatience and flightiness

• Introverted intuitive type: characterized positively by the ability to envision the future, and negatively by an inability to communicate effectively with others

Page 16: 3 analytical psychology

Personality Development

• Self-realization: goal of development is the realization of one's potentials

• Neurosis and psychosis• In Jung’s view, neurosis and psychosis differ primarily in the

severity of their consequences

Page 17: 3 analytical psychology

Therapeutic Assessment Techniques

• Dream analysis: means of resolving current problems and pointing to directions for healthy development

• Method of amplification: technique in which the patient and analyst continue to reassess and reinterpret the same symbols in an attempt to broaden their understanding of them

• Word association test: patients are presented with stimulus words and asked to give responses to them; greater time latencies in responding are assumed to reflect the existence of underlying complexes

• Painting therapy: technique used to help patients clarify the various symbols seen in their dreams and increase their understanding of themselves.

Evaluative Comments

• Comprehensiveness: broad scope

• Precision and testability: not very precise and very difficult to test adequately

• Parsimony: too many concepts to explain phenomena in its domain economically

• Empirical validity: some support for the theory of psychological types

• Heuristic value: continues to generate interest in a variety of professional disciplines

• Applied value: has high applied value; used by investigators in many disciplines to understand the complex functioning of humans
