CARL JUNG

1. Jung: Analytical Psychology LESSON 1: MIDTERM

2. OVERVIEW OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY Assumes Occult Phenomena Influence Lives Inherit Experiences from Ancestors in form of Collective Unconscious - Archetypes are highly developed aspects of this Aim at Achieving Balance between Opposing Forces

3. Biography of Jung Born in Kesswil , Switzerland in 1875 Oldest surviving child of an idealistic Protestant minister Mother’s family had a tradition of mysticism Jung decided to become a physician after dreaming of making scientific discoveries After receiving his medical degree in 1900, he became a psychiatric assistant to Bleuler Studied with Janet in Paris in 1902-03

4.

5. Levels of Psyche Conscious Psychic images sensed by the ego Personal Unconscious Repressed, forgotten, or subliminally perceived experiences Collective Unconscious Ideas from the experiences inherited from our ancestors Archetypes Archaic images derived from the collective unconscious

6. Archetypes Archetypes include: Persona Shadow Anima Animus Great Mother Wise Old Man Hero The Self

7. Persona The side of personality that people show to the world is designated. Although the persona is a necessary side of our personality, we should not confuse our public face with our complete self. If we identify too closely with our persona, we remain unconscious of our individuality and are blocked from attaining self-realization. Shadow The archetype of darkness and repression, represents those qualities we do not wish to acknowledge but attempt to hide from ourselves and others. The shadow consists of morally objectionable tendencies as well as a number of constructive and creative qualities that we, nevertheless, are reluctant to face.

8. Animus & Anima The anima and animus archetypes refer to Jung’s recognition that humans are essentially bisexual. Anima - feminine aspects of man Animus - masculine aspects of women On the psychological level, each sex manifests characteristics, temperaments, and attitudes of the other sex by virtue of centuries of living together. Great Mother The great mother represents two opposing forces—fertility and nourishment on the one hand and power and destruction on the other. She is capable of producing and sustaining life (fertility and nourishment), but she may also devour or neglect her offspring (destruction).

9. Wise Old Man Archetype of wisdom and meaning, symbolizes humans’ preexisting knowledge of the mysteries of life. The wise old man is representative of the values of discipline, self-control, duty, rules, habit, temperance and rationalism. A self-reflective individual, he is often depicted in literature as a person on a quest for the ‘truth’ or a sense of enlightenment. Hero The hero archetype is represented in mythology and legends as a powerful person, sometimes part god, who fights against great odds to conquer or vanquish evil. In the end, however, the hero often is undone by some seemingly insignificant person, event, or thing.

10. Dynamics of Personality Causality and Teleology Behavior is shaped by both Progression and Regression Progression Forward flow of psychic energy Necessary for adaptation to outside world Regression Backward flow of psychic energy Necessary for adaptation to inner world

11. Psychological Types Attitudes Predisposition to act in a characteristic direction Introversion The turning inward of psychic energy with an orientation toward the subjective Extraversion The turning outward of psychic energy so that a person is oriented toward the objective and away from the subjective

12. Psychological Types (cont’d) Functions Introversion and extraversion can combine with any one or more of four functions, forming eight possible types. Thinking Logical intellectual activity that produces a chain of ideas Feeling Evaluating an idea or event Sensation Receives physical stimuli and transmits them to perceptual consciousness Intuition Perception beyond the workings of consciousness

13. Stages of Development

14. Childhood Jung divided childhood into three substages : (1) the anarchic characterized by chaotic and sporadic consciousness. (2) the monarchic characterized by the development of the ego and by the beginning of logical and verbal thinking. (3) the dualistic Children now refer to themselves in the first person and are aware of their existence as separate individuals.

15. Youth The period from puberty until middle life. Young people strive to gain psychic and physical independence from their parents, find a mate, raise a family, and make a place in the world. According to Jung, youth is, or should be, a period of increased activity, maturing sexuality, growing consciousness, and recognition that the problem-free era of childhood is gone forever. A middle-aged or elderly person who attempts to hold on to youthful values faces a crippled second half of life, handicapped in the capacity to achieve self-realization.

16. Middle Life Jung believed that middle life begins at approximately age 35 or 40, by which time the sun has passed its zenith and begins its downward descent. If middle-aged people retain the social and moral values of their early life, they become rigid and fanatical in trying to hold on to their physical attractiveness and agility. They are capable of giving up the extraverted goals of youth and moving in the introverted direction of expanded consciousness. They must look forward to the future with hope and anticipation. This step often, but not always, involves a mature religious orientation, especially a belief in some sort of life after death

17. Old Age Fear of death is often taken as normal, but Jung believed that death is the goal of life and that life can be fulfilling only when death is seen in this light. Self-Realization Psychological rebirth, also called self-realization or individuation, is the process of becoming an individual or whole person. Self-realization is extremely rare and is achieved only by people who are able to assimilate their unconscious into their total personality. To come to terms with the unconscious is a difficult process that demands courage to face the evil nature of one’s shadow and even greater fortitude to accept one’s feminine or masculine side.

18. Jung’s Method of Investigation Word Association Test Dream Analysis Active Imagination Psychotherapy (Four Stages) Confession of a pathogenic secret Interpretation, explanation, and elucidation Education as social beings Transformation

19. Critique of Jung Jung’s Theory Is: Moderate on Generating Research and Organizing Observations Low on Practicality, Internal Consistency, and Parsimony Very Low on Falsifiability
