Carl Jung
Collective unconscious theorist
Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology, distinguishing his approach from Freud's psychoanalysis after their famous split.
He introduced concepts that have permeated both clinical practice and popular culture: the collective unconscious, archetypes, introversion and extraversion, and the shadow self.
Jungian analysis emphasizes individuation—the process of integrating conscious and unconscious elements of the psyche.
She's been reading Jung to understand her recurring dreams.
