THEORIES OF PERSONALITY ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY THEORIES OF PERSONALITY CARL JUNG THEORIES OF PERSONALITY CARL JUNG Carl Jung was born in Switzerland in 1875, the oldest by about 9 years of two surviving children. Jung's father was an idealistic Protestant minister and his mother was a strict believer in mysticism and the occult. Jung's early experience with parents who were quite opposite of each other probably influenced his own theory of personality, including his fanciful No. 1 and Number 2 personalities. Soon after receiving his medical degree he became acquainted with Freud's writings and eventually with Freud himself. THEORIES OF PERSONALITY CARL JUNG Not long after he traveled with Freud to the United States, Jung became disenchanted with Freud's pansexual theories, broke with Freud, and began his own approach to theory and therapy, which he called analytical psychology. From a critical midlife crisis during which he nearly lost contact with reality, Jung emerged to become one of the leading thinkers of the 20th century. He died in 1961 at age 85. THEORIES OF PERSONALITY CARL JUNG THEORIES OF PERSONALITY CARL JUNG THEORIES OF PERSONALITY BASIC TENET He saw people as extremely complex beings who are a product of both conscious and unconscious personal experiences. However, people are also motivated by inherited remnants that spring from the collective experiences of their early ancestors.  LIBIDO THEORIES OF PERSONALITY It is the creative life force that could be applied to the continuous psychological growth of the person. Jung understood libido as psychic energy: desire, will, interest, and passion. Libido includes instincts for fulfilling bodily appetites and engaging developmental tasks. Although energy infuses all human activity, it is not a function of ego alone; for many, a worthy goal has lacked the libido to achieve it. THEORIES OF PERSONALITY PSYCHE It is a construct to represent all of the interacting systems within human personality that are needed to account for the mental life and behavior of the person. THEORIES OF PERSONALITY LEVELS OF THE PSYCHE Jung saw the human psyche as being divided into a conscious and an unconscious level, with the latter further subdivided into a personal unconscious and a collective unconscious. THEORIES OF PERSONALITY LEVELS OF THE PSYCHE A. Conscious Images sensed by the ego are said to be conscious. The ego thus represents the conscious side of personality, and in the psychologically mature individual, the ego is secondary to the self. THEORIES OF PERSONALITY FUNDAMENTAL ATTITUDES Introversion: characterized by a retiring and reflective approach to life THEORIES OF PERSONALITY FUNDAMENTAL ATTITUDES Extraversion: characterized by an outgoing and relatively confident approach to life THEORIES OF PERSONALITY THEORIES OF PERSONALITY THEORIES OF PERSONALITY THEORIES OF PERSONALITY RATIONAL FUNCTION THEORIES OF PERSONALITY LEVELS OF THE PSYCHE Unconscious B. Personal Unconscious The unconscious refers to those psychic images not sensed by the ego. Some unconscious processes flow from our personal experiences, but others stem from our ancestors' experiences with universal themes. Jung divided the unconscious into the personal unconscious, which contains the complexes emotionally toned groups of related ideas) and the collective unconscious, which includes various archetypes. THEORIES OF PERSONALITY LEVELS OF THE PSYCHE Unconscious B.

Collective Unconscious Collective unconscious images are those that are beyond our personal experiences and that originate from the repeated experiences of our ancestors. Collective unconscious images are not inherited ideas, but rather they refer to our innate tendency to react in a particular way whenever our personal experiences stimulate an inherited predisposition toward action. THEORIES OF PERSONALITY LEVELS OF THE PSYCHE C. Collective Unconscious THEORIES OF PERSONALITY LEVELS OF THE PSYCHE D. Archetypes Contents of the collective unconscious are called archetypes. Jung believed that archetypes originate through the repeated experiences of our ancestors and that they are expressed in certain types of dreams, fantasies, delusions, and hallucinations. Several archetypes acquire their own personality, and Jung identified these by name. THEORIES OF PERSONALITY LEVELS OF THE PSYCHE D. Archetypes Persona: role human beings play in order to meet the demands of others Shadow: inferior, evil, and repulsive side human nature Anima: feminine archetype in men, including both positive and negative characteristics of the transpersonal female Animus: masculine archetype in woman, including both positive and negative characteristics of the transpersonal male. THEORIES OF PERSONALITY LEVELS OF THE PSYCHE D. Archetypes Great Mother, archetype for fertility and destruction Wise Old Man, intelligent but deceptive voice of accumulated experience. Hero, unconscious image of a person who conquers an evil who also has a tragic flaw. Self, completion, wholeness, and perfection. THEORIES OF PERSONALITY LEVELS OF THE PSYCHE D. Archetypes THEORIES OF PERSONALITY NOTE: It was Carl Jung who first studied self actualization. THEORIES OF PERSONALITY SELF It is an archetype that leads people to search for ways of maximizing the development of their multifaceted potentials Transcendent function: process by which a conflict is resolved by bringing opposing forces into balance with each other through understanding Mandala: symbolic representation of the self; multifaceted, balanced, and harmonious THEORIES OF PERSONALITY DYNAMICS OF THE PSYCHE Jung believed that the dynamic principles that apply to physical energy also apply to psychic energy. These forces include causality and teleology as well as progression and regression. THEORIES OF PERSONALITY A. Causality and Teleology Jung accepted a middle position between the philosophical issues of causality and teleology. In other words, humans are motivated both by their past experiences and by their expectations of the future. THEORIES OF PERSONALITY B. Progression and Regression To achieve self-realization people must adapt to both their external and their internal worlds. Progression involves adaptation to the outside world and the forward flow of psychic energy, whereas regression refers to adaptation to the inner world and the backward flow of psychic energy. Jung believed that the backward step is essential to a person's forward movement toward self-realization. THEORIES OF PERSONALITY PSYCHOLOGICAL TYPES Attitude is a predisposition to act or react in a characteristic direction. THEORIES OF PERSONALITY FOUR FUNCTIONS: Sensing: initial, concrete experiencing of phenomena without the use of reason Thinking: helps us understand events through the use of reason and logic Feeling: evaluation of events by judging whether they are good or bad, acceptable, or unacceptable Intuiting: relying on hunches when dealing with strange situations that have no established facts THEORIES OF PERSONALITY THANK YOU
