Conflicts strongly generates progress or movements 1. Regression vs Progression Progression- Forward, beneficial to personality Regression- Backward, attains goals by returning to previous position, finding better pathway towards the attainment of goal.  Jung’s Principles 2.

Introversion vs. Extroversion Extraversion personality moves in the direction of people while Introversion personality moves in opposite direction, quiet, free from people. 5. Anima vs. Animus Anima- feminine characteristics of a male. Animus- masculine characteristics of a female. The combined anima and animus is known as the syzygy or the divine couple. The syzygy represents completion, unification, and wholeness.  Jung’s Principles Jung believed that physiological changes as well as social influences contributed to the development of sex roles and gender identities. Jung suggested the influence of the animus and anima archetypes were also involved in this process. These archetypal images are based upon both what is found in the collective and personal unconscious Jung’s Principles  Jung’s Principles 6.

Extraversion- The attitude distinguished by the turning outward of psychic energy so that a person is oriented toward the objective  Psychological Types People are neither completely extraverted nor completely introverted. At some points of our lives, we tend to go one direction.  Psychological Types Functions- Introversion and Extroversion can combine with any one or more functions, forming eight possible orientation or types. The four functions are all necessary for man’s mind to perform. The illogical mental functions are intuition and sensation. The rational functions are feeling and thinking.  Psychological Types Functions Feeling- the value an individual places upon a person, place, or event. It tells whether a thing is acceptable or not acceptable. Feeling is values-based, it tells what a thing is worth to you. Thinking – Thinking involves intellect, it tells you what a thing is.  Psychological Types Functions Intuition – hunches about past or future events when factual information is not available. Sensation- seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, feeling. Sensing describes paying attention to the reality of your external environment, it tells you that something is. Psychological Types Stages of development  Stages of development Childhood – early morning sun, full of potential but lacking in brightness Youth – morning sun, climbing towards the zenith but unaware of impending decline Middle age- afternoon sun, brilliant, but obviously heading towards the sunset Old age- evening sun, once bright consciousness now markedly dimmed.  Archetypes Archetypes – name given to the kind of image from his collective unconscious that man uses frequently  Archetypes Great Mother – represents two opposing forces, fertility and nourishment on one hand and power and destruction on the other  Archetypes Wise old man- personified in dreams as father, grandfather, teachers, philosopher, guru, doctor, priest.
