Introduction to Jungian Psychology

Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961)

Born in 1875 in Basel, Switerzland, C. G. Jung was a medical doctor and psychiatrist who, along with Freud, opened up our research into the nature of the human unconscious and founded psychotherapy. Their work led to the modern re-popularization of interest in dreams and archetypes.

Jung gave us the psychological type categories that led to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and coined the terms introvert and extravert.  He also coined the terms synchronicity (and his writing on that topic is the main reason for its continued popularity in our culture today) and collective unconscious – giving us a term for the deeper layer of the psyche that transcends the personal.

Jungian psychology is a larger on-going tradition rooted in psychotherapeutic approaches to the unconscious.
