Jungian psychology, also referred to as analytical psychology, is a branch of psychology founded by Carl Jung. Carl Jung was an early supporter of Freud because of their shared interest in the unconscious. In fact, Freud admired Jung and saw a lot of potential in him. In 1910, the International Psychoanalytical Association was formed and Jung became president at the request of Freud. However, in 1912, Jung publicly criticized Freud’s theory of the Oedipus Complex and his emphasis on phases of infantile sexuality. The following year this led to an irrevocable dispute between them, which in the end led Jung to develop his own version of psychoanalytic theory. One of the ways in which he researched this theory was through personality testing. …show more content…
Thinking means that a person makes a decision mainly through logic. Feeling means that, as a rule, he or she makes a decision based on emotion. While we all have feelings, there are differences in how we react to them and how those feelings influence our lives. This then plays a role in a number of other areas, usually related to how we interact with others. Those that are placed within the thinking trait are very logical and usually seek for rationale in arguments. They often try to hide their emotions from others. It is important to note though, this does not mean the ones with this dominant trait are cold-hearted. In contrast, those of the feeling trait often follow their heart and have no problem showing their emotions. In their eyes, they think that we should not be ashamed to hide our feelings and let them show (as someone with the feeling trait, I whole-heartedly …show more content…
Judging means that a person organizes all of his life events and, as a rule, sticks to his plans. Perceiving means that he or she is inclined to improvise and explore alternative options. Although a bit confusing to understand, judging is more than evaluation and perceiving is not about just looking at a thing. They are about how we approach life: in an organized way or an open, flexible way. All possibilities of the 4 traits above come to a total of 16 different combinations, or personality types. Each of these two poles dominates and defines 16 different personality types. Each personality type can be assigned a 4 letter acronym of the corresponding combination of dichotomies. For example, I took the test and I am an ENFJ (Extraverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging). People may reveal features of both poles but typically have a preference of one way over the other. The letter indicates the preference and the percentage indicates the extent of it. However, it is important to note, that these test are not the “say all, be all” of one’s self. How I see it, it’s a way for one to become self-aware, and perhaps shed some light on who they are as a person. Therefore, coming to a better understanding of one’s self and learn something new as
Personality types stems from Carl Jung spend time observing personality preferences, which he later on published in his in 1921. Carl’s discovery of the two major typical differences in human psychology such as extrovert and introvert influenced Katherine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Myers theories and lead them to experiment during World War II. Myers and Briggs worked on methods that would help women, who heretofore had no prior workplace experience, find those types of jobs that were most comfortable and effective (Myers & Myers, 1996). The three learning styles I have chosen to write about would meet the needs of the learners and provide an effective learner/teacher experience. Therefore, the need for learning level in people varies at all levels, to make sure the delivery method meets the learners’ expectation, it is important to re-evaluate the styles of learning chosen and make sure all background
The novel Fifth Business written by Robertson Davies is about Dunstan Ramsay’s life. The novel begins from Parker’s newsletter that offends Dunstan and triggers him to write about his life to the headmaster. Davies uses Carl Jung’s archetypes to develop his novel Fifth Business which are the archetypal figures, archetypal hero’s journey, and fifth business.
Everyone has been responsible for wrongful actions in their lives. The reason for these actions as well as your envy, lies, and insecurities is your shadow. Carl Jung’s theory of the persona includes concepts of “the ego, living with the shadow and the persona and mask one wears”(Internet Wire). In “The Shadow Effect”, Jung also describes the shadow as representing “ ‘the other side’ or ‘the dark brother’, who is an inseparable part of our psyche” (Burkard Sievers). Jung explains how for a person to deal with social acceptance and the expectations of humanity, they must conceal the part of themselves that they know won’t conform with these expectations (the shadow). People conceal this part by
Primarily, one of the dominant and fundamental theoretical variances concerning Freud and Jung’s personality theories was that relating to their opposing notions regarding the unconscious human mind. Firstly, Freud understood that the centre of ones inhibited beliefs and distressing recollections was found in the unconscious mind. Freud stated that the human mind focuses on three constructs: namely the id, the ego and the super ego. He claimed that the id shaped ones unconscious energy. Freud said that it is not limited by ethics and morals, but as an alternative simply aims to fulfil ones desires. The id strives to keep with the “pleasure principle, which can be understood as a demand to take care of needs immediately.” (Boere) The next unconscious
In my original paper on Carl Gustav Jung, I took a rather skeptical view of the doctor and his work, for several reasons that I will reiterate. However, after studying further into his work, I realized that these objections only related to his early psychiatric cases, and I found myself to be far more intrigued and impressed by his later work and theories. While I had stated in my first consideration of Jung that, “there is a frustratingly limited, almost biased quality to much of… his work”, I was pleasantly surprised later on to find that many of his later theories and assumptions were anything but limited. I still believe that in his early case work he took tremendous risks, both clinically and professionally, yet it is that risk-taking aspect of his personality that ultimately allowed, or rather, propelled him to boldly go forward with some of his most groundbreaking and controversial contributions to the fields of psychology, and philosophy as well. It can even be said, and has been, that Dr. Jung is the father of modern “new-age” thinking. He also laid the groundwork for those who were inspired by his thoughts, perhaps much in the way that he himself was originally inspired by Freud. Once again, while my original opinion of Dr. Jung caused me to “wonder how much of Jung’s work was truly visionary, and how much of it benefits from a positive hindsight bias because of the successes he was able to achieve” in his early casework, I must say that my current opinion, early casework aside, is that Jung was in fact truly visionary, and was the originator of some of the most revolutionary conceptual thinking that the human experience has to offer.
Andrea Jung was born in 1959 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and raised in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Jung graduated magna cum laude at Princeton University and planned to continue to law school afterwards. Jung had gotten a job training her to be a manager at Bloomingdale’s, allowing her to step into the field of law. She did so exceedingly well at this job that she continued to a different job and began her debut at I. Magnin & Company as senior vice president, general merchandising manager. Next, she handled issues concerning accessories, cosmetics and apparel as the executive vice president of Neiman Marcus. Law quickly vanished as the fashion world approached Jung. In 1993, Jung joined Avon Products, Inc. as a consultant and she was soon promoted for her hard work in 1994 as the product marketing group president for U.S. operations. Jung worked on introducing more modern lines while continuing the company’s traditional branding efforts. She introduced successes such as the Avon Apparel line and suggested getting rid of a large number of Avon’s old fragrances to make way for new ones. Jung spent time getting to know the company and thrived rapidly at the top. In 1996, she became the global marketing president and in 1997 became the executive vice president and president of global marketing and new business. Jung’s major responsibilities were centered on market research, joint ventures and strategic planning. Soon after, she became president and chief operating officer, with responsibility for all business units of Avon worldwide. Since 1998, Jung has been on Avon’s board of directors and in 1999, when the company wasn’t doing so well, Jung was named CEO of Avon Products Inc. at 43 years old and the first female CEO in the history o...
The book Memories, Dreams, and Reflections features Jung's childhood, his personal life, and exploration into the psyche in association with religion as well. Jung reveals much of life experiences and acquaintances that were forged throughout his life. Aside from self-reflections, thoughts, and ideas, Jung also offers recall of early memories—childhood dreams, visions, in connection with his adulthood. Although Jung was not without his faults, he ponders on his weaknesses, some that he accepted and worked with—dipping into the unconsciousness (darkness) to find meaning. Similar to prior readings, Jung also attempts to find meaning in his own life, "meaninglessness inhibits fullness of life and is therefore the equivalent to illness.” Furthermore, Jung states that people are childish and they have to be guided through religion in order to adapt to reality. Therefore, religious enlightenment is necessary to promote healthy well-being of humankind. “How are they ever to emerge if analysis does not make them aware of something different or better?” questions Jung.
Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung are two of the founding fathers of psychoanalysis, their contributions are what lead to the modern psychoanalytic movement and popularized the field of psychology. Their friendship started in 1906, Freud was an esteemed colleague and Jung was younger and more of a student or follower to Freud. As time went on their theories began to have some major differences and Jung branched out to form his own views. Major points that these two psychoanalysts disagreed upon was their view of the unconscious mind as well as how they viewed sexuality's role as a driving force behind life.
Sigmund Freud, an Austrian neurologist, was the principle proponent of the psychoanalytic personality theory. Psychoanalytic personality theory is tells us that the majority of human behavior is motivated by the unconscious, a part of the personality that contains the memories, knowledge, beliefs, feelings urges, drives, and instincts that the individual is unaware, and that only a small part of our psychological makeup is actually derived from the conscious experience. The problem is our unconscious mind disguises the meaning of the material it contains. As such, the psychoanalytic personality theory is ver...
Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung penned Psychology of Dementia Praecox in 1907 in which he discussed about the Freudian concept of psychodynamic thoughts, however he incorporated new analysis and fresh research alongside the Freudian literatures. In his discussion, he included new concepts like wholeness of psyche; individual is composed with ego, collective unconscious, archetypes which are composed of tension that comes from spontaneity, recognizing the spiritual side of the human psyche (Ballen, 1997).
Psychoanalysis is a theory that explores personality traits on the conscious and unconscious level. According to TheFreeDictionary.com, “Psychoanalysis is the most intensive form of an approach to treatment called psychodynamic therapy. Psychodynamic refers to a view of human personality that results from interactions between conscious and unconscious factors. The purpose of all forms of psychodynamic treatment is to bring unconscious mental material and processes into full consciousness so that the patient can gain more control over his or her life” (Psychoanalytic Treatment). Sigmund Freud is the founder of the Psychoanalysis Theory. He had many followers. One of those followers was Jung. As time went on, Jung’s perspective on personality
Up until Last Tuesday, I did not know what a personality type was, and thought that the Myers-Briggs test only covered IQ. Fortunately for me, Last Tuesday, September 25th, happened. From there, I learned of 16 personality types, consisting of various combinations of letters forming a group. There are two options per “slot”, limiting the amount of combinations in terms of mathematics. But, that’s a good thing, or else the world would be a chaotic place with there being twice as much, or even more personality types. A typical combination of letters would be something like my combination, “ENFJ”, or “Extroverted Intuitive Who Feels with Judgement”. Yes, they are acronyms, sort of. How the Acronym forms depends
Carl Gustav Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist, who has also been called the founder of Analytical
Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and founder of the school of analytical psychology. He was an early supporter of Freud because of their shared interest in the unconscious. Carl Jung 's work left a notable impact on psychology since he proposed and developed the concepts of the archetypes. The term archetype is not one of his invention, but he used it in an elaborate way in his theories of psychology and culture, giving it his own specific meaning. Archetypes are images and thoughts which have universal meanings across cultures which may show up in dreams, literature, art or religion. They represent fundamental human motifs of our experience as we evolved; consequentially, they evoke deep emotions. Jung 's main archetypes are not types in
= = Psychoanalytic approach was advocated by Sigmund Freud, a private practitioner who construct his theory through therapy and self-experience. In his theory, there are three major ideas; they are consciousness, psychosexual stages of development and psychodynamics as well. Freud split the consciousness into three levels; they are conscious, preconscious and unconscious respectively.
