4. Jung (Analytical Psychology) Flashcards
Basic Assumption
Humans are motivated by (i) individual repressed experiences and (ii) collective unconscious/archetypes
Collective Unconscious
Emotionally toned experiences (i.e. archetypes) inherited from ancestors
Personal Unconscious
Contains all of a person’s repressed, forgotten or subliminally perceived experiences
Reservoir of the complexes
Archetypes
Contents of the collective unconscious
Persona
Shadow
Tendencies and qualities we attempt to hide from ourselves and others but that we must strive to know in order to be whole
Anima
Animus
Great Mother
Wise Old Man
Hero
Self
Innate disposition toward perfection, completion, wholeness; self-realization
Symbolized by mandala where outer circle = consciousness; middle circle = personal unconscious; inner circle = collective unconscious
Personality Types
Complexes
Contents of personal unconscious
The “archetypes” of the personal unconscious –> emotionally toned conglomeration of associated ideas
First Test of Courage
Realizing shadow
Second Test of Courage
For men, to realize anima
Causality and Teleology
Motivation comes from past and future
Progression and Regression
To self-realize, people must adapt to external world (through progression) and internal world (through regression) - need both to activate healthy personality development
Attitudes
A predisposition to act or react in a characteristic direction
(i) Introversion and (ii) Extroversion
Functions
(i) Thinking, (ii) Feeling, (iii) Sensing and (iv) Intuiting
Thinking
Logical intellectual activity that produces a chain of ideas
Feeling
Process of evaluating an idea or event
Sensing
Function that receives physical stimuli and transmits to perceptual consciousness
Intuiting
Perceiving elementary facts beyond consciousness - more creative than sensing
Stages of Personality Development
Childhood –> Youth –> Middle Life –> Old Age
Childhood Sub-Stages
(i) Anarchic –> islands of consciousness
(ii) Monarchic –> islands connecting, ego as object
(iii) Dualistic –> continuous land, ego as perceiver
Youth
Striving to gain psychic and physical independence from parents –> find a mate –> raise a family –> create a place in the world
Middle Life
If psychologically healthy, give up extraverted goals of youth and move toward introverted expanded consciousness/self-realization
Old Age
Diminishing consciousness
Fear of life in early years = fear of death in later years
Self-Realization
Process of becoming a whole person with al psychological components functioning in unity
