Swiss psychologist

The founder of analytical psychology

The great psychoanalyst and psychologist

Carl Jung was born on July 26, 1875 in Keswell, Switzerland. A religious family, eight uncles and maternal grandmother are clergy, and the father is a devout pastor. His parents were extremely discordant and his mother had a volatile temperament. Therefore, Jung has been a strange and melancholic child since he was a child. He mostly kept company with himself and often entertained himself with fantasy games.

After the age of 6, Jung began to go to school, and his father began to teach him Latin classes at the same time. By getting along with his classmates, Jung slowly discovered another side outside the family. Looking back many years later, he divided himself into two personalities - Number 1 and Number 2. Character No. 1 is manifested in daily life. At this time, he is like an ordinary child, going to school, concentrating, and studying seriously. The other personality is like an adult, suspicious, not trusting others easily, and staying away from others. Later, Jung cured his strange disease through his own willpower. Jung called it experiencing a "neurosis." During the same period, Jung's No. 1 personality became the dominant personality, and the world of No. 2 personality slowly faded away. During this period, he came into contact with the history of Western philosophy, including the works of Schopenhauer.

Jung initially planned to study natural sciences or humanities, and also wanted to become an archaeologist. After graduation, Jung chose courses and clinical internships in psychiatry. In 1905, Jung was promoted to senior psychiatrist at the University of Zurich, where he lectured on spiritual psychology, Freud's psychoanalysis and primitive psychology.

What really made Jung famous in the field of psychology was his 1921 publication of "Psychological Types". This book explored the possible attitudes of the conscious mind towards the world and established Jung's position in the field of psychology. . Later, he successively proposed classic theories such as "Personality Holism" and "Personality Dynamic Theory", and published "On the Essence of Spirit", "Erian: A Phenomenological Study of the Self", "Reply to Job" and "** *Temporality: The Principle of Interrelated Contingency" and many other works.

On June 5, 1961, Jung died peacefully at his home on the lake at the age of 86.

Sociologists commented that Jung was able to make more use of contemporary scientific methods to develop a theory of dream interpretation. This should be attributed to the fact that although he studied under Freud and had to accept However, he did not blindly follow his teachings, but established his own psychological analysis model based on Freud. Therefore, when we rejoice that Jung successfully combined the subconscious mind with dream imagination to create a new theory of dream interpretation, we must not forget that Jung is standing on the shoulders of Sigmund Freud.

Jung Quotes

4. You want to find someone to complain to, and it is the person who has done unfair things to you, the person who does not understand you, misunderstands you, hurts your feelings, or neglects you. You, people who don’t recognize you and have slandered you? By the way, what other bad things has he done to you? In the midst of this, don't you see your own vanity, your endless absurd vanity?

11. If a person is excellent in thinking, he will definitely not be outstanding in emotion. Because you can't do two things at the same time. These two things will eclipse each other.

I've seen people who had miraculously perfect control over their emotions end up being severely disturbed by their emotions.

12. I am tired, my soul has wandered for too long, looking for myself outside myself.
