C.G. Jung

Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. He believed that the human psyche comprises conscious and unconscious parts, including archetypes—universal symbols and themes shared across cultures. Jung emphasized the importance of understanding oneself through processes like individuation, where a person integrates different aspects of their personality to become whole. His ideas explore how dreams, myths, and symbols reveal deep layers of the mind, influencing personal growth, creativity, and spirituality. Jung's work has had a lasting impact on psychology, therapy, and understanding human culture and spirituality.
