Causality and Teleology
Progression and Regression
motivation sprang from both past causes and teleology goals.
Causality and Teleology
holds that present events have their origin in previous experiences.
causality
holds that present events are motivated by goals and aspirations for the future that direct a person’s destiny.
teleology
people must adapt not only to their outside environment but also to their inner world as well.
Progression and Regression
adaptation to the outside world.
progression
adaptation to the inner world
regression
a predisposition to act or react in a characteristic direction.
attitudes
the turning inward of psychic energy with an orientation toward the subjective.
introversion
the attitude distinguished by the turning outward of psychic energy so that a person is oriented toward the objective and away from the subjective; they are more influenced by their surroundings than by their inner world.
extraversion
what are the different functions?
thinking / feeling / sensing / intuiting
logical intellectual activity that produces a chain of ideas.
thinking
people rely heavily on concrete thoughts, but they may also use abstract ideas if these ideas have been transmitted to them.
extraverted thinking
people react to external stimuli, but their interpretation of an event is colored more by the internal meaning they bring with them than by the objective facts themselves.
introverted thinking
to describe the process of evaluating an idea or event.
feeling
people use objective data to make evaluations.
extraverted feeling
people base their value judgments primarily on subjective perceptions rather than objective facts.
introverted feeling
the function that receives physical stimuli and transmits them to perceptual consciousness is called sensation; sensing is not identical to the physical stimulus but is simply the individual’s perception of sensory impulses.
sensing
people perceive external stimuli objectively, in much the same way that these stimuli exist in reality.
extraverted sensing
people are largely influenced by their subjective sensations of sight, sound, taste, touch, and so forth.
introverted sensing
intuition involves perception beyond the workings of consciousness.
intuiting
people are oriented toward facts in the external world.
extraverted intuitive
people are guided by unconscious perception of facts that are basically subjective and have little or no resemblance to external reality.
introverted intuitive
Stages of Development
childhood
youth
middle life
old age
is characterized by chaotic and sporadic consciousness; “Islands of consciousness” may exist, but there is little or no connection among these islands.
anarchic
is characterized by the development of the ego and by the beginning of logical and verbal thinking; children see themselves objectively and often refer to themselves in the third person.
monarchic
is characterized by the development of the ego and by the beginning of logical and verbal thinking; children see themselves objectively and often refer to themselves in the third person.
monarchic
the ego arises, children now refer to themselves in the first person and are aware of their existence as separate individuals.
dualistic
young people strive to gain psychic and physical independence
youth
begins at approximately age 35 or 40; people retain the social and moral values of their early life they become rigid and fanatical in trying to hold on to their physical attractiveness and agility.
middle life
people fear life during the early years, then they will almost certainly fear death during the later ones; fear of death is often taken as normal, but Jung believed that death is the goal of life and that life can be fulfilling only when death is seen in this light.
old age
the process of becoming an individual or whole person; analytical psychology is essentially a psychology of opposites and self realization is the process of integrating the opposites poles into a single individual.
self - realization
Jung’s Methods of Investigation
Word Association Test
Dream Analysis
Active Imagination
Psychotherapy
this uncovers feeling toned complexes; is based on the principle that complexes create measurable emotional responses.

Active Imagination
Psychotherapy identified four basic approaches to therapy
cathartic method /
interpretation, explanation, elucidation /
approach adopted by Adler and includes the education of patients as social beings / transformation
a term used to describe a therapist’s feelings toward the patient.
countertransference
patients who need to share their secrets.
cathartic method
gives the patients insight into the causes of their neuroses, but may still leave them incapable of solving social problems.
interpretation, explanation, elucidation
this approach often leaves patients merely socially well adjusted.
approach adopted by Adler and includes the education of patients as social beings
the therapist must first be transformed into a healthy human being by undergoing psychotherapy
transformation
examine what is known as “person-job fit” which is defined as the match between a person’s knowledge, skills and abilities and job demands.
