Study Notes
Carl Jung's Neoanalytic Theory
- Jung's theory, referred to as Analytical Psychology, builds upon Freud's ideas but introduces concepts like the collective unconscious, archetypes, and individuation.
- The collective unconscious is a shared reservoir of universal experiences and archetypes. It informs dreams, myths, and cultural narratives.
- Archetypes are universal symbols or patterns found in the collective unconscious. They influence individual behavior and culture. Key ones include:
- The Self: Represents the complete and integrated psyche.
- The Shadow: Represents repressed, darker aspects of oneself.
- The Anima/Animus: The feminine side of a man (anima) and the masculine side of a woman (animus).
- The Hero: Represents the quest for self-discovery and overcoming challenges.
- Individuation is the process of integrating conscious and unconscious aspects of the psyche to become a more complete and harmonious self.
- Active Imagination: A technique Jung developed to explore dream images and symbols for personal insight.
- Dreams as Guides: Jung saw dreams as providing guidance for navigating challenges and integrating different aspects of oneself.
- Synchronicity refers to meaningful coincidences with no apparent causal link, suggesting a connection between the psyche and the universe.
