Today we are discussing the views of both Dr. Sigmund Freud and Dr. Carl Jung, on the unconscious mind. Dr. Freud believed that the unconscious mind was “A storehouse of unacceptable repressed memories specific to the individual.” (Saul McLeod) while Dr. Jung believed that the unconscious mind was “A storehouse of repressed memories specific to the individual and our ancestral past.” (Saul McLeod) To better compare the two I will go into more detail on their theories. Freud found that some desires and or events were too frightening to acknowledge for his patients. He believed that this information was locked away within the unconscious mind, this is usually caused by repression.
