" (Jung, par 316).
The Theory of Psychoanalysis is presented in an organized fashion that is clear and concise. Jung addresses his points in a logical order. Jung's order of presentation was dependent upon that of Freud and his closely followed the presentation format used in Freud's work. Jung's primary work was based on the ability to categorize certain phenomenon and human behaviors. His ability to categorize things was also apparent in his writing style. Jung tends to address certain groups of things based on their categorization. This is a key strength of Jung's writing.
Jung's the Theory of Psychoanalysis fails by modern standards as an evidence-based piece of research. His arguments are based on generalizations that were collected throughout his practice. He is a harsh critic of Freud, but only on the points that were highly criticized by others. The Theory of Psychoanalysis was an attempt to justify his work to his peers without falling into some of the same traps of his predecessors. The Theory of Psychoanalysis is a desperate attempt to defend his own points by distancing...
However, this still does not classify his work as entirely fiction by any means and it is still accepted as a major psychological theory. It offers many plausible explanations for phenomenon that would otherwise be difficult to explain. Even if Jung's ideas do not meet modern standards of empirical evidence, they still have merit based on a philosophical perspective. Jung's work could be considered more of a philosophical argument than the empirical work that was presented by him. If one takes this perspective, the work is much easier to accept than if one considers it to be a research study.

The self, then, does not stem from individual experience but rather from what has been called "early psychosomatic unity" (Urban 2008). The existence of these many archetypes -- the shadow, the anima/animus, the mother, etc. -- in all people is evidence for Jung's concept of the collective unconscious. These universal archetypes do not come from individual experiences or conscious awareness. Instead, they are entirely unconscious and present in all people,
Carl Jung's Theory: Carl Gustav Jung is a well-known pioneer of analytical psychology who was born in 1875 in Kesswil, Switzerland and the only child of a Swiss clergyman. His early family life played a critical role in shaping his theory as the huge focus placed on religion by his family contributed to the spiritual aspects of his theory. This is despite of his statement that he was bored by this
Several days ago another friend of mine spoke about how he dreamed about him being a Chinese peasant in charge of a farm. He planted seeds into the ground and felt that the seeds were created by his soul rather than being ordinary seeds. He then saw several farm animals furiously coming toward him and wanting to harm him. This friend's family emigrated from China at the beginning of the twentieth
One of the most common uses of employment tests is in the area of employment. Many employers use personality tests as a means to assess potential job candidates for their suitability, honesty, and loyalty to a future employer. Individual experience and interpretation can skew answers in such as manner as to render these tests unreliable. For instance, a person who is naturally unassertive might view the actions of an
The patient's behaviors are not however, atypical in relation to his experiences. He is just one of many individuals who find themselves immersed in alienation because they cannot live up to the high expectations placed on them by society, and in turn, by themselves. These childhood drives to reach "the highest truths and values" (Palmer, 1999) are often thwarted by personal failures. When one's role in life does not match
Synchronicity -- Carl Jung Synchronicity is a term that C.G. Jung (Carl Jung) used to describe the simultaneous occurrence of two events that become connected because they bring about a "meaningful coincidence" (Jung, 1951, p. 90). Examples of synchronicity will be presented in this paper. Jung is the internationally respected Swiss psychiatrist who founded the school of analytical psychiatry and authored a number of books, including: Dreams; Red Book; Psychological Types;
