Jung began to treat her by sitting her in a chair facing away from him so she was able to be honest and answer questions accordingly. She was describing her abusive father and she believed her attacks were brought…

Grass is incapable of speech. Or any intelligent thoughts for that matter. But if grass was sentient, what would it think of human race. Would it be impressed by our progress, or disappointed at all the obstacles we have yet to overcome? Carl Sandberg seems to believe the latter, as he writes of an impassive being posing as grass. He captures the unbiased perspective of nature and illustrates how pointless human warfare is to a being above such trivial matters. Sandburg, in his poem Grass,…

This lens first originated in the early 1900’s from Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud and his theory of the psychodynamic perspective. Freud had a student named Carl Jung who did more research into archetypes of characters. Jung’s research took a wider angle view than Freud’s.

Dreams are visual or auditory experiences that our mind creates during a sleeping period. There are two types of dreams, REM dreams and Non REM dreams. REM dreams usually exhibit impossible or bizarre things that could not normally happen in real life, as Non REM dreams are more relatable to everyday life and seem possible to actually happen. (V. Hill, Personal Communication, January 2016). The activity levels in the brain differ from Non REM and REM dreaming. The brain is most active in REM…

In his seminal work “Memories, Dreams, and Reflections” Carl Gustaf Jung presents a stinging defense of Sigmund Freud. As the footnote by Aniela Jaffe explains, “In his obituary on Freud (1939), Jung calls this work ‘epoch-making’ and ‘probably the boldest attempt that has ever been made to master the riddles of the unconscious psyche upon the apparently firm ground of empiricism. For us, then young psychiatrists, it was…a source of illumination, while for our older colleagues it was an…

These athletes; steaming from all sports, have been misusing these drugs, not wanting to…
