Who is Carl Jung?

Carl Gustav Jung, also known as C.G. Jung, was a Swiss psychotherapist and psychiatrist. He was born on July 26, 1875 in Kesswi. On June 6, 1961, he died after having a short illness.  With his experiences and wide studies, he proposed and improved the concepts of introversion and extroversion. He also gave wide ides about collective unconscious and archetypes.

His work plays a huge role in psychiatry and in the study of philosophy, religion, archeology, literature and other related fields. Compared to other psychiatrists, he is known for his work with the development of the psyche and personality types.

What are the Contributions of Carl Jung?

Carl Jung discovered the following:

• He believes that the human psyche was divided into two distinct parts – the conscious and unconscious mind.
• Human dreams are produced by the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind possesses undoubted works and wisdom.
• He firmly believes that the meaning of symbolic dream language can be easily understood and specific.
• Humans have four psychological functions – the thoughts, intuition, feelings and sensations.
• Humans have both introverted and extroverted attitude in life

Above all, Carl Jung is the originator of the idea in his Divine Child archetype. In fact, Emmet Fox called it as the “Wonder Child”. He also founded a school of psychotherapy called Jungian psychology and analytical psychology.

His theories include the following:

• The concept of extraversion and introversion
• The ideas of the complex
• The concept of collective unconscious with archetypes
• Synchronicity as the scheme of relationship that is not fundamental

According to Carl Jung, the core of the human psyche should not be measured the individual’s ego. He claims that the center is the SELF. It means that it contains more than the conscious content. The SELF is the conclusion of the human psyche after developing their psychological functions. Based on his studies and knowledge, the

main dream symbols that appear in human’s dream are:

1. The Persona – This is the character that the person presents to the world. The person would reflect their social position, profession and standing.
2. The Anima – This is the representation of a perfect type of man for a woman. It is an idol, but can represent a true person of the human’s environment.
3. The Shadow – This is the human psyche part that is undeveloped. The shadow contains both negative and positive characteristics, depending on someone’s personal development.

Carl Jung claimed that every dreamer who prefers to explore the content existent in their own psyche can make a trip to the SELF. He also proves to the world that human dreams follow a sequence. With his great contributions, most people admired him.
