Jung

Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who developed theories about the human mind and personality. He believed that beyond our personal experiences, we share a collective unconscious containing universal symbols, archetypes, and themes reflected in myths, dreams, and cultures worldwide. Jung emphasized the importance of understanding these archetypes and exploring the unconscious to achieve self-awareness and psychological growth. His ideas influenced psychotherapy, art, religion, and our understanding of human nature, highlighting the complex interplay between our conscious thoughts, inner images, and shared human heritage.
