Carl Jung (psychoanalyst)

Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. He explored the human psyche and introduced concepts such as the collective unconscious, which suggests all humans share deep psychological patterns and symbols. Jung emphasized the importance of archetypes—universal, recurring themes in myths and dreams. He believed in the process of individuation, where individuals integrate different aspects of themselves to achieve wholeness. His work has influenced psychology, art, religion, and literature, offering insights into personal development and the nature of human experiences. Jung's ideas continue to resonate in modern psychology and psychotherapy.
