Study Notes

Archetypes

The great mother is an archetype of nourishment and destruction.
The wise old man is an archetype of wisdom and meaning.
The hero is an archetype of a conqueror who vanquishes evil but has a single fatal flaw.
The self is the most comprehensive archetype, representing fulfillment, completion, or perfection.

Attitudes and Functions

There are two basic attitudes: introversion and extraversion.
Introversion refers to people's subjective perceptions, while extraversion refers to an orientation toward the objective world.
Extraverts are influenced more by the real world, whereas introverts rely on their individualized view of things.
The four basic functions are: thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition.
The combination of two attitudes and four functions forms eight general personality types.

The Collective Unconscious

The collective unconscious is divided into two parts: the personal and the collective.
The collective unconscious contains archetypes, which are components of the collective unconscious.
Archetypes are inherited predispositions to react in a particular way, expressed in certain types of dreams, fantasies, delusions, and hallucinations.

The Persona and Shadow

The persona is the side of our personality that we show to others.
The shadow is the dark side of personality.
In order for people to reach full psychological maturity, they must first realize or accept their shadow.

Anima and Animus

The anima is the feminine side of men.
The animus is the masculine side of women.
A second hurdle in achieving maturity is for men to accept their anima and for women to accept their animus.

Other Archetypes

The hero archetype is the image we have of a conqueror who vanquishes evil but has a single fatal flaw.
Other archetypes include the wise old man, the great mother, and the self.
