Carl Jung

Most famously, Freud is accredited with his work published in 1900 The Interpretation of Dreams on dream analysis. Next, there was Carl Jung, who proposed another perspective giving people insight to the meaning of dreams. After years of research, psychologists have made significant progress in understanding why people dream, its function, and to some extent a more valid theory of what dreams mean. Freud “proposed that dreams provide a psychic safety valve that discharges otherwise unacceptable…

An archetype; a very typical example of a certain person or thing. In the early 20th century, a Swiss Psychiatrist named Carl Jung suggested that there exists ways to communicate certain experiences and emotions. With this being said, he created a universal and recognizable way to organize distinct behaviours into 12 different groups in which he named archetypes. Each person should be able to title themselves as at least one of them. Up to this date, many other philosophers have established…

I believe that personality is a trait that determines who you are as a person. Many Psychology theorists such as Dr. Sigmund Freud, Dr. Carl Jung, Alfred Adler, Raymond B. Cattell and Hans J. Eysenck, Karen Horney, and David Buss believe that support my argument for the personality theory. But theorists like Gordon Allport and Erik Erikson did not support my argument. Their concepts have shaped my view of personality development into what it is today. But based on their theories and my personal…

A Jungian Analysis of Ursula Hegi’s Stones from the River “We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.” - C.G. Jung. Carl Jung’s theories are profoundly influential to modern psychiatry; they allow us to analyze stories, characters, and writings from the innermost layer.

What are dreams designed to do? How do we dream? Do they even mean anything? These are questions people may contemplate when they wake in the morning after encountering a series of thoughts, images, and sensations that occurred during their sleep. Every person in the world – big or small, rich or poor – has drifted off and dreamt at some point in their life. Many of these people ignore what occupied their minds that night, continue on with their day, and forget what the dream was even about by…
