analytical psychology. Jung is well-known for his work on the unconscious, the development of psychological
types, and his theory of archetypes. Some of his key concepts include:
The Collective Unconscious: Jung believed that all humans share a collective unconscious, which is a
set of memories and archetypes inherited from our ancestors.
Archetypes: These are universal symbols or patterns in the human experience, such as the Hero, the
Shadow, the Anima, and the Animus. These archetypes manifest in myths, dreams, and stories across
cultures.
Individuation: This is the process of becoming the person you are inherently meant to be, integrating
various parts of your unconscious mind with your conscious self.
Introversion and Extraversion: Jung also created the concept of psychological types, identifying people
as either introverts or extraverts, and emphasizing that both types can have strengths and weaknesses.
Jung’s ideas had a profound influence on psychology, literature, art, and spirituality. Let me know if you'd like
