  1. Carl Jung Alli Downton & Jesse Luchinski

  2. Biography Carl Gustav Jung was born in the small village of Kesswil, Switzerland. A lonely child, Jung supposedly grew up with two personalities. One was a modern Swiss man, while the other was a prestigious man from the eighteenth century. With no friends, Jung had a very creative mind. His father was a unfortunate pastor and his mother was the daughter of a wealthy family. Jung’s parent’s relationship began to weaken as his mother, a disheartened and to some extent eccentric woman, began to become more and more unpredictable.

  3. During the night, Jung claimed to have felt alarming influences from his mothers separate room. Influences so frightening, he claimed to have seen a decapitated ghostly figure departing her room. When his mother’s state became much more hazardous to her health, she was hospitalized in another town for an unknown condition. Jung moved between towns for three years until he was brought to Kleinhüningen, the town where his mother’s ailment was lifted after reunited with her side of the family. Until 1879 when they moved, Emilie’s condition installed Jung’s sometimes “patriarchal” attitude towards women.

  4. One of his most memorable memories was that of a mannequin he carved into a wooden ruler, which he hid in the attic. He would often bring sheets of paper with messages written on them in his own secret language. These moments acted as a ceremony that brought him inner peace and happiness. Later in his life, Carl realized that the figurine he created served the same purpose as that of totems used by natives across the globe. This realization helped fuel his theory behind unconscious rituals, and raised the question of how a young boy, born and raised in Switzerland knew how to accomplish this task, something he was never taught to do.

  5. After being pushed around in school, Jung fainted whenever he thought about school or homework, bringing attention to his father who believed he may have had epilepsy. Since his household had little money, Jung faced his fear of fainting and began to study Latin grammar in order to help his family. After fainting three times, he overcame this fear and proceeded down the road of academic excellence. In 1895, Jung studied at the University of Basil after discovering his love for psychiatry. He worked at a psychiatric hospital in Zurich five years later.

  6. Accomplishments In 1912 Jung then published a book on Psychology of the Unconscious which caused a theoretical argument between he and Freud and resulted in their friendship coming to an end. Both men claim that neither of them could ever admit to being wrong. After working as a psychiatrist Jung published two books, On the Psychology and Pathology of So-Called Occult Phenomena in 1903 and Word Association in 1906. He sent a copy of Word Association to Sigmund Freud, which followed in a close friendship between the two men.

  7. Theories Jung did not agree with Freud. He believed that things from the unconscious were spiritual rather than sources of insight to sexual desires. He theorized that dreams were a way of acquainting yourself with the unconscious. They do not conceal your feelings, but act as a doorway to them. What they do is serve to let the person achieve wholeness.

  8. Jung also believed that all things could be viewed as paired opposites. He believed that all people had an ego (the way you portray yourself) and a counter ego (the shadow) The “Shadow” is made up of all the things you don’t want to express, the things you want to hide.

  9. How he changed Psychology Helped popularize psychological concepts like extroversion and introversion. He founded a new school of psychotherapy. He came up with the concept of Collective Unconscious. This is basically saying that the collective unconscious is not developed (nurture) but inherited (nature).
