Carl Jung (psychologist)

Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. He believed the human mind is composed of conscious and unconscious parts, including personal memories and universal themes called archetypes. Jung introduced concepts like the collective unconscious—shared symbols and ideas across cultures—and emphasized their influence on personality, dreams, and behavior. He also explored the importance of individuation, a process of integrating different aspects of oneself to achieve wholeness. His theories have influenced psychology, literature, and spirituality, highlighting the deep connection between individual experience and universal human patterns.
