Карл Густав Юнг

Sull'autore

Karl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. He is known for his theories on the collective unconscious, archetypes, and personality types, which have had a profound impact on psychology and beyond. Jung's work diverged from that of Sigmund Freud, particularly in his emphasis on spirituality and the deeper cultural aspects of the human psyche. He believed that understanding the unconscious was essential for personal development and a more fulfilling life.

Throughout his career, Jung published numerous works and engaged in extensive research into various fields including mythology, religion, and alchemy. His concepts of introversion and extraversion have also influenced personality assessments and are widely recognized today. Jung's approach to psychology emphasized the importance of the individual's journey towards self-discovery, which he termed individuation. His legacy continues to inspire many in psychology, art, and spirituality, establishing him as one of the most significant figures in modern psychological thought.
