CARL JUNG

(26 July 1875 – 6 June 1961)

Prominent Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl Gustav Jung is known for his enormous contribution in analytical psychology. His work has been influential not only in psychiatry but also in philosophy, anthropology, archaeology, literature, and religious studies. He was a prolific writer, though many of his works were not published until after his death. Some of his important theories are the concept of introversion and extraversion, the concept of the complex, a grouping of interrelated unconscious elements, the concept of the collective unconscious, the primordial realm of archetypes, which manifests in all people.
