Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. He introduced concepts such as the collective unconscious, archetypes, and psychological types, which have significantly influenced both psychology and Western thought. Jung's work diverged from @Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis, particularly in his exploration of spirituality, symbolism, and the role of the unconscious mind. He developed theories about the process of individuation and the integration of the shadow and anima/animus, which remain foundational in depth psychology. Jung’s writings extend beyond clinical practice to include religion, art, literature, and alchemy, providing a framework for understanding the interplay between personal and collective experience.
