Archetypes

Who is Jung? What did he discover? Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychologist and psychiatrist who we know best through his concept of the Collective Unconscious. He also proposed and developed the ideas for extroverted and introverted personalities and archetypes. Jung worked closely with Sigmund Freud for many years, but eventually came to a disagreement and parted ways. One of the disagreements between these two incredible psychologists dealt with the unconscious mind. Freud believed the unconscious held our repressed thoughts, traumatic memories, and our libido which eventually resulted in mental illness. Jung, however, believed the unconscious was divided between the personal and collective.
