Unit 4—Jung: Analytical Psychology

Front 1

Give specific examples of ways in which Jung's personal life may have influenced his theory of personality.

Back 1

1. Jung noted that he had two distinct personalities. In the identification of no.1 and no.2 personality he identified the persona as the face we put on for the outside world.

2. The vision he experienced during his midlife crisis allowed him to identify several archetypes.

3. He was able to label the two sides of the “Great Mother” archetype by looking at the two sides of his own mother’s personality.

4. Jung had an opportunity to encounter his own Anima. He Was able to recognize this archetype only after he became comfortable with his own shadow. This he identified as the second test of courage.

5. Introversion was a dominant attitude in both his early adolescence and again during his midlife crisis

Explain the difference between:

A) complex

B) an archetype

Back 2

A) is a grouping of related ideas. This content is found in the personal unconscious.

Front 13

Name steps a person must master in order to reach the stage that Jung called self-realization.

Back 13

To actualize fully one must do the following. First the journey must be an introversion exploration and one must overcome the fear of the unconscious. They must implement strategies to prevent their persona from dominating their personality. Next, they must come to grips with their shadow and recognize the dark of themselves. The second act of courage is to face their anima or animus. A psychologically healthy individual reached self-realization when there is balance within themselves. A visual representation of mandala demonstrates the geometric balance of good / evil, light and dark, & female and male sides within an individual who has reached to stage of self-realization.

Front 14

Explain the difference between:

a) extraverted thinking

b) introverted thinking

Back 14

a) __ is objective. The individual rely on external stimuli and concrete facts in order to draw conclusions. Examples include: mathematicians and engineers.

b) __ is subjective. An individual considers the internal meaning over the physical stimuli when assessing a situation. An example is a detective, as they are capable of interpreting clues to solve the crime.

Front 15

Critique Jungian psychology as a scientific theory.

1. Generate research?

2. Falsifiability?

3. Organized Knowledge?

4. Parsimony?

5. Internally Consistent?

6. Practical?

Back 15

1. Yes, Myers briggs/personality types have generated a number of research studies.

2. No it is hard to verify or falsify. Unfortunately collective unconscious is not tangible and is difficult concept to conduct empirical research.

3. Moderate rating as the Analytical Theory covers a large scope and explain facets of human personality.

4. No, compared to other theories Jung’s is overly complicated.

5. No, as key terms are interchanged and often uses two different terms to describe same thing. Ex. extroversion - progression. individuation - self realization.

6. Helps explain cultural myths however hard to conduct empirical research on collective unconscious therefore low rating on practicality.

Front 16

Describe how Jung's experiences with women may have influenced his concept of personality.

Back 16

Identification of no.1 and no.2 personality. ... identify persona ...face we put on for the outside world.
Vision.during midlife crisis. - id certain archetypes.
Great mother - saw two sides to mother’s personality.
Jung’s encounter with anima. - second test of courage. Recognized his own anima only after learning to be comfortable with his own shadow.
Introversion was dominant attitude in early adolescence and during midlife crisis.
Active imagination ... during midlife confrontation with the unconscious.

Front 17

Discuss the importance of Jung's encounter with his anima.

Back 17

After breaking away from Freud, Jung first encountered own anima during his journey through his unconsciousness psyche. He labeled this the second test of courage because Jung found one must first face their own shadow before coming to grips with their anima/animus. He found the anima originated from our ancestors experiences with females. This predetermined concept of a woman shaped Jung’s relationships and concepts with the opposite sex. The anima explains why there is often misunderstandings in gender relationships and also explains the natural attraction men have toward women.

Front 18

Name and discuss the Jungian levels of the psyche

a. Consciousness

b. Personal Unconsciousness

c. Collective Unconscious

Back 18

a. Images that are sensed by the ego. Ego is more restrictive than Freud’s view. Ego centre of consciousness by not core of personality. Ego is not the whole personality, but must be completed by the more comprehensive self, the personality that is largely unconscious. Plays minor role. Ego plays secondary role to unconsciousness.

Individuation: connected to both conscious world and allow themselves to experience unconscious.

b. (similar to Freud’s combined unconscious and preconsciousness). Thoughts. feelings both just below, easily brought to consciousness and never uncovered.
Repressed thoughts. Impulses. Forgotten events and experiences that originated in consciousness.Complexes - groupings of people formed from personal experiences.

c. most important aspect. Archetypes - ancient images.

Front 19

Discuss pro the possible existence of a collective unconscious.

Back 19

The collective unconscious can provide an explanation for why similar mythological motifs can be found in various cultures around the world.
Collective consciousness is responsible for myths, legends and religious beliefs.
Jung thought that the collective consciousness explained love at first sight. As our unconscious is attracted to an individual that we do not know.

Front 20

Discuss con the possible existence of a collective unconscious.

Back 20

Predisposition to be compassionate how does it explain random acts of violence.
Experiences that stimulate an biologically inherited response tendency. Does not explain bigotry or racism. If we are all innately the same why do some individuals discriminate against other races.

Front 21

Identify Jung's two major attitudes

Back 21

1. Introversion is as characterized as one who has subjective view of the world and tuned into their inner world. The psychic energy is turned inward and fantasies, dreams, & individualized perceptions are key characteristics.

2. Extroversion take an objective perspective and rely on concrete facts of external stimuli to formulate opinions.
Psychic energy of the individual is turned outward.

Front 22

Identify Jung's the two perceiving functions

Back 22

1. sensing - Perceives external stimuli through their sense organs. Extraverted: perceives sounds, sights, tastes, and touches objectively, in the same way they exist in reality. ex. Wine taster. Introverted: Guided by their own subjective interpretations of the sense stimuli (sound, sight, taste, and touch). ex. Portrait painter.

2. intuiting - perceive the world at the unconscious level. Similar to sensing as it is based on absolute facts. There is more creativity involved as elements are added and subtracted from the conscious sensation. Extraverted: orientated to facts in the external world. Perceive them subliminally. suppress many of their sensations and are guided by hunches guesses contrary to sensory data. Ex. inventor. See what others couldn’t imagine possible.Introverted: Guided by unconscious perceptions of facts. Capable of motivating decisions of monumental magnitude. Religious fanatics, prophets, mystic. They may not clearly understand their own motives.

Front 23

Identify Jung's the two judging functions

Back 23

thinking - formulate logical conclusions using cognitive processes. Extraverted thinking is objective. Rely on external stimuli & concrete facts in order to draw conclusions. Ex include: mathematicians & engineers.
Introverted thinking is subjective. Considers the internal meaning over the physical stimuli when assessing a situation. Ex: an inventor, cuz capable of interpreting the world in a new way.

4. feeling aka Valuing. The evaluation of all conscious activities. Ex: an idea or an event even activities that have no value or valued indifferent. Extraverted: Use objective data to make evaluation.Considers all angles & decides what would be appropriate in specific scenario. Societal norms & standard values guide the individual in their decision making process. Ex.politician.
Introverted: use subjective evaluations to make value judgments not concrete facts. Often ignore widely held opinions or beliefs Ex. Movie critic.

Front 24

Identify Jung's stages of personality development

Back 24

a) Childhood

b) Youth

c) Middle Life

d) Old age

Front 25

Describe the following stage of personality development:

a) Childhood

Back 25

a) Begins at birth and extends into adolescence. The conscious is not yet awake. This stage of development is further divided into the following three substages:
i) Anarchaic: This stage is defined as being primitive images that are not easily described and being” islands of consciousness”. In other words, consciousness ideas/thoughts are isolated entities with no connection to each other.

ii) Monarchic: The development of the ego is a characteristic at this stage. The person starts to form thinking that is both logical and verbal. Children often identify themselves in third person at this stage.

iii) Dualistic: This is the final substage of childhood. At this point the ego has two clearly divided sides: objective and subjective. At this point the once isolated, separate islands of consciousness are now melded together. The person is now capable of recognizing that they are separate person.

Front 26

Describe the following stage of personality development:

b) Youth

Back 26

b) This phase begins at puberty, up until 35-40 years of age. The conscious mind is expanding and becoming more awake. Marked by a desire to be a unique and independent individual, separate from their parents. Sexual maturity is characteristic of this phase. Key activities include: finding a career, choosing a mate and starting a family. The individual has to overcome the desire to live in the carefree lifestyle of childhood. This is called the conservative principle.

Front 27

Describe the following stage of personality development:

c) Middle Life

Back 27

c) occurs between the ages of 40 and 60 years.This stage is marked by increases in both anxieties and an individual’s potential. At this point the individual have realized that they will not live for ever. Individual’s are no longer concerned with the pursuits of their youth. They instead turn inward and take an introverted exploration of themselves to identify what is meaningful and believe in some sort of afterlife.

Front 28

Describe the following stage of personality development:

d) Old age

Back 28

d) This is the final stage of development that begins at 60 years until death. The individual’s consciousness declines. According to Jung, the overall goal of life is death. He thought that once a person realized this they would fear death, in turn would have hope for rebirth.

Front 29

Discuss Jung's concept of dreams and how they reflect the unconscious.

Back 29

Jung’s concept of dreams have some similar characteristics to Freud’s. He agreed that dreams have meaning and stem from our unconscious. He also identified that the latent content in dreams is expressed in symbolic form. However, Jung thought dreams represented a variety of concepts and was not restricted to solely wish fulfillment. Nor did Jung think that dream symbols solely represented sexual urges. Jung thought dreams are a window to your unconscious. Dreams are a way for our unconscious mind to explain the unknown. The elements in our dreams are motifs that act as a navigator and enable our conscious self to achieve self-realization. Dreams are also used to provide solutions to problems we are struggling with in our waking life.

Front 30

Breaks down the different types of dreams

a. Big Dreams

b. Typical

c. Earliest dreams remembered

Back 30

a. This kind of dream has unique meaning for all humanity.

b This is the most common type of dream and includes archetypes.

c. Are dreams that one experiences early in life that contain motifs that are far more advanced than the experience and/or knowledge of the child’s particular stage of development.

Front 31

Discuss research on Jungian typology as a means of selecting engineering students.

Back 31

The study on engineering students made the following hypothesis: Myers Briggs scores would be related to final grades, final exam and withdrawing from course. The research findings showed the sample size breakdown was: 75% Thinking, 57% Introversion. Judging 56% Types. Evenly split of Intuitive-Sensing (51% Sensing). The research found that engineering students who are most likely to withdraw from the program scored high on both extraversion and feeling. The results support congruency. In other words, the results showed that those individuals who are successful in particular occupations are also those whose personality types fit the same mold as to people working in the industry.
