A little about Jung

Carl Jung was born on July 26, 1875, in Kesswil, Switzerland. He believed in the complex or emotionally charged associations. He also collaborated with Freud, but disagreed with him about the sexual basis of neuroses. Jung founded the school of analytical psychology. He proposed and developed the concepts of the extroverted and introverted personality, archetypes, and the collective unconscious He wrote several books before his death in 1961.

The issues that he dealt with arose from his personal experiences. For many years Jung felt as if he had two separate personalities, one introverted and other extroverted. This resulted in his study of integration and wholeness. His work influence not only in psychology, also religion and literature.

Before deciding to pursue medicine Jung studied biology, zoology, paleontology, and archaeology. He didn’t stop here, Jung also was interesed at philosophy, mythology, and christian literature and religion.

Also Jung believed that symbol creation was a key in understanding human nature.

A little note: His childhood was a lonely one. Jung always observed his parents and teachers to understand their behavior.
