Study Notes
Carl Jung's Analytical Theory (or Analytical Psychology)
- Jung's theory proposes that all humans share a collective unconscious.
- This collective unconscious contains universal, inherited ideas due to shared evolutionary history and common ancestors.
- The collective unconscious contains archetypes.
Archetypes
- The Self: Represents wholeness, unity, and organization of personality. It is a person's sense of self.
- The Persona: The public self, artificial, conforming to societal expectations. It's the mask or role individuals present to the outside world.
- The Anima: The feminine aspect of a man.
- The Animus: The masculine aspect of a woman.
- The Shadow: The dark, cruel side of an individual, containing animalistic urges and feelings of inferiority. Jung believed the shadow is a source of creativity.
- The Mother: A nurturing and loving figure.
- The Father: A demanding and rewarding figure.
- The Baby: The helpless infant.
- The Man: The strong, aggressive, rational male figure.
- The Maiden: The fair, unspoiled, intuitive female.
- The God: The Almighty, the guiding light.
- The Devil: The embodiment of evil.
- The Wild Man: The untamed primitive, hairy, and dangerous.
- The Trickster: A mischievous figure who plays pranks.
- The Boogie Man: A monster that preys on reckless children.
- The Mandala: A circular symbol representing self and consciousness. Often featuring something holy in the center.
- The Hero: The strong, capable man who saves and protects.
- The Hag: The old, deformed woman who casts spells or makes poisons.
- The Wise Man: The sage, often with a long white beard.
Attitudes: Two Types of Personalities
- Extraverts: Oriented toward the external world, focusing on outward energy. Extraverted individuals channel their energy into activities and social involvements.
- Introverts: Oriented toward the inner, subjective world. Introverted individuals are turned inward, more interested in the life of the mind than outside events.
Rational or Judging Type
- Some individuals use their minds all the time, making conscious value judgments about their directions.
Irrational Type
- These individuals rely on perception and intuition to guide their decision-making. They are present-oriented and more inclined to impulsive behavior.
Rational Type Subtypes

- Thinking Type: Decisions based on conscious calculations.
Irrational Type Subtypes
