'''Analytical psychology''' ({{langx|de|analytische Psychologie}}, sometimes translated as '''analytic psychology'''; also '''Jungian analysis''') is a term referring to the [[psychology|psychological]] practices of [[Carl Jung]]. It was designed to distinguish it from [[Freud's psychoanalytic theories]] as their seven-year collaboration on [[psychoanalysis]] was drawing to an end between 1912 and 1913.<ref name="Neue">{{Cite book |last=Jung |first=C.

The history of analytical psychology is intimately linked with the biography of Jung. At the start, it was known as the "Zurich school", whose chief figures were [[Eugen Bleuler]], [[Franz Riklin]], [[Alphonse Maeder]] and Jung, all centred in the [[Burghölzli hospital]] in Zurich. It was initially a theory concerning psychological complexes until Jung, upon breaking with [[Sigmund Freud]], turned it into a generalised method of investigating [[archetype]]s and the [[unconscious mind|unconscious]], as well as into a specialised [[psychotherapy]].

Analytical psychology, or "complex psychology", from the {{langx |de|Komplexe Psychologie}}, is the foundation of many developments in the study and practice of [[psychology]] as of other disciplines. Jung has many followers, and some of them are members of national societies around the world. They collaborate professionally on an international level through the [[International Association of Analytical Psychologists]] (IAAP) and the [[International Association for Jungian Studies]] (IAJS). Jung's propositions have given rise to a multidisciplinary literature in numerous languages.

Among widely used concepts specific to analytical psychology are [[anima and animus]], [[Jungian archetypes|archetype]]s, the [[collective unconscious]], [[Complex (psychology)|complex]]es, [[extraversion and introversion]], [[individuation]], the [[Self in Jungian psychology|Self]], the [[Shadow (psychology)|shadow]] and [[synchronicity]].<ref name="MF">{{Cite book |last=Fordham |first=Michael |title=Jungian Psychotherapy: A Study in Analytical Psychology |date=1978 |publisher=Wiley & Sons |isbn=0-471-99618-1 |location=London |pages=1–8}}</ref><ref name="Stevens">{{Cite book |last=Stevens |first=Anthony |title=Archetype: A Natural History of the Self |date=1990 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-0-415052207 |location=Hove}}</ref> The [[Myers–Briggs Type Indicator]] (MBTI) is loosely based on another of Jung's theories on [[psychological type]]s.<ref name="MF" /><ref>{{Cite book |last=Jung |first=Carl Gustav |title=Collected Works of C.

The approximately "three schools" of post-Jungian analytical psychology that are current, the ''classical'', ''archetypal'' and ''developmental'', can be said to correspond to the developing yet overlapping aspects of Jung's lifelong explorations, even if he expressly did not want to start a school of "Jungians".<ref name="MF" />{{rp|pp=50–53}}<ref name="AS">{{Cite book |last=Samuels |first=Andrew |url=https://archive.org/details/jungpostjungians00samu_0/page/11 |title=Jung and the Post-Jungians |date=1985 |publisher=Routledge & Kegan Paul |isbn=0-7100-9958-4 |location=London |pages=11–21}}</ref> Hence as Jung proceeded from a clinical practice which was mainly traditionally science-based and steeped in [[rationalist philosophy]], [[anthropology]] and [[ethnography]], his enquiring mind simultaneously took him into more [[esoteric]] spheres such as [[alchemy]], [[astrology]], [[gnosticism]], [[metaphysics]], myth and the [[paranormal]], without ever abandoning his allegiance to science as his long-lasting collaboration with [[Wolfgang Pauli]] attests.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Remo |first=F.

[[File:Burghölzli Stich.jpg|thumb|250px |An 1890 etching of Burghölzli hospital where Carl Jung began his career]]
Jung began his career as a psychiatrist in [[Zürich]], Switzerland. Already employed at the [[Burghölzli]] hospital in 1901, in his academic dissertation for the medical faculty of the [[University of Zurich]] he took the risk of using his experiments on [[somnambulism]] and the visions of his [[Mediumship|mediumistic]] cousin, Helly Preiswerk. The work was entitled, "On the Psychology and Pathology of So-Called Occult Phenomena".<ref>Jung.

In 1907, Jung travelled to meet [[Sigmund Freud]] in Vienna, Austria; they had begun corresponding a year earlier. At that stage, Jung, aged thirty-two, had a much greater international renown than the forty-nine-year-old [[Neurology|neurologist]].<ref name="DB"/> For a further six years, the two scholars worked and travelled to the United States together. In 1911, they founded the [[International Psychoanalytical Association]], of which Jung was the first president.<ref name="DB"/> However, early in the collaboration, Jung had already observed that Freud would not tolerate ideas that were different from his own.<ref name="DB"/>

Unlike most modern psychologists, Jung did not believe in restricting himself to the [[scientific method]] as a means to understanding the human psyche. He saw dreams, myths, [[coincidence]], and folklore as empirical evidence to further understanding and meaning. So although the unconscious cannot be studied by using direct methods, it acts as a useful working hypothesis, according to Jung.<ref>{{cite journal |language=fr |author=Martin-Vallas François |title=Quelques remarques à propos de la théorie des archétypes et de son épistémologie |journal=Revue de Psychologie Analytique |issue=1 |date=2013 |volume=1 |pages=99–134 |doi=10.3917/rpa.001.0099|doi-access=free }}.</ref> As he said, "The beauty about the unconscious is that it is really unconscious."<ref>Jung on film.{{full citation needed|date=August 2024}}</ref> Hence, the unconscious is 'untouchable' by experimental researches, or indeed any possible kind of [[scientific method|scientific]] or philosophical reach, precisely because it is unconscious.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Jungian Psychoanalysis|url=https://audreypunnettphd.com/jungian-psychoanalysis/|access-date=2021-11-21|website=audreypunnettphd|language=en-US}}{{self-published source|date=August 2024}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Vaughan |first=Alan G. |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/9781118591277.ch7 |title=The Wiley-Blackwell Handbook of Transpersonal Psychology |date=2013-08-09 |isbn=9781119967552 |pages=141–154 |chapter=Jung, Analytical Psychology, and Transpersonal Psychology |doi=10.1002/9781118591277.ch7}}</ref>

===The break with Freud===
[[File:Hall Freud Jung in front of Clark 1909.jpg |thumb |left |Still talking, Jung with psychoanalytic colleagues. Front row, [[Sigmund Freud]], [[G. Stanley Hall]], Carl Jung. Back row, [[Abraham Brill]], [[Ernest Jones]], [[Sándor Ferenczi]]. 1909 in front of [[Clark University]].]]

It was the publication of a book by Jung which provoked the break with psychoanalysis and led to the founding of analytical psychology. In 1912 Jung met "Miss Miller", brought to his notice by the work of [[Théodore Flournoy]] and whose case gave further substance to his theory of the ''collective unconscious''.<ref name="Bair"/>{{rp |213–215}} The study of her visions supplied the material which would go on to furnish his reasoning which he developed in ''Psychology of the Unconscious'' ({{lang|de|Wandlungen und Symbole der Libido}}) (re-published as ''Symbols of Transformation'' in 1952) (C.W. Vol. 5). At this, Freud muttered about "heresy".<ref>{{cite book |language=fr |last=Baudouin |first=Charles |title=L'Œuvre de Carl Jung et la psychologie complexe |location=Paris |year=2002 |isbn=978-2-228-89570-5 |publisher=Payot: Editions Rivages |oclc=81117869 |series=Petite bibliothèque Payot |volume=133}}</ref> It was the second part of the work that brought the divergence to light. Freud mentioned to Ernest Jones that it was on page 174 of the original German edition, that Jung, according to him, had "lost his way".<ref name="Bair"/>{{rp |215}} It is the extract where Jung enlarged on his conception of the [[libido]]. The sanction was immediate: Jung was officially banned from the [[Vienna psychoanalytic circle]] from August 1912. From that date the psychoanalytic movement split into two obediences, with Freud's partisans on one side, [[Karl Abraham]] being delegated to write a critical notice about Jung,<ref>{{cite book |first=Karl |last=Abraham |year=1969 |title=Critique de l'essai d'une présentation de la théorie psychanalytique de C. G. Jung |pages=207–224}}</ref> and with Ernest Jones as defender of Freudian orthodoxy; while on the other side, were Jung's partisans, including Leonhard Seif, [[Franz Riklin]], Johan van Ophuijsen and [[Alphonse Maeder]].<ref name="Bair"/>{{rp |260}}

Jung's innovative ideas with a new formulation of psychology and lack of contrition sealed the end of the Jung-Freud friendship in 1913. From then, the two scholars worked independently on personality development: Jung had already termed his approach ''analytical psychology'' (1912), while the approach Freud had founded is referred to as the [[Psychoanalysis|Psychoanalytic School]] (''psychoanalytische Schule'').<ref name="Neue"/>

[[File:Psychology of the Unconscious (1916), page 5.jpg |thumb |''Psychology of the Unconscious'' (1916), the book which precipitated Jung's break with [[Freud]]]]
Jung's postulated unconscious was quite different from the model proposed by Freud, despite the great influence that the founder of psychoanalysis had had on him. In particular, tensions manifested between him and Freud because of various disagreements, including those concerning the nature of the [[libido]].<ref name=MDR>{{cite book |last=Jung |first=Carl |title=Memories, Dreams, Reflections |url=https://archive.org/details/memoriesdreamsre00jung |url-access=registration |year=1963 |publisher=Pantheon Books |page=[https://archive.org/details/memoriesdreamsre00jung/page/206 206]}}</ref> Jung {{nowrap |de-emphasized}} the importance of sexual development as an instinctual drive and focused on the collective unconscious: the part of the unconscious that contains memories and ideas which Jung believed were inherited from generations of ancestors. While he accepted that libido was an important source for personal growth, unlike Freud, Jung did not consider that libido alone was responsible for the formation of the core personality.<ref>{{cite book |last=Carlson |first=Heth |title=Psychology: The Science of Behavior |year=2010 |publisher=Pearson |location=Upper Saddle River, NJ |isbn=978-0-205-64524-4 |page=[https://archive.org/details/psychologyscienc0004unse/page/434 434] |url=https://archive.org/details/psychologyscienc0004unse/page/434}}</ref> Due to the [[Carl Jung#Biography|particular hardships]] Jung had endured growing up, he believed his personal development and that of everyone was influenced by factors unrelated to sexuality.<ref name=MDR/>

The overarching aim in life, according to Jungian psychology, is the fullest possible actualisation of the "Self" through [[individuation]].<ref>Jung. CW. 7. para. 266.</ref><ref name="Stevens"/> Jung defines the "self" as "not only the centre but also the whole circumference which embraces both conscious and unconscious; it is the centre of this totality, just as the ego is the centre of the conscious mind".<ref>Jung. CW. 12. para. 44</ref> Central to this process of individuation is the individual's continual encounter with the elements of the psyche by bringing them into consciousness.<ref name="Stevens"/> People experience the unconscious through symbols encountered in all aspects of life: in dreams, art, religion, and the symbolic dramas enacted in relationships and life pursuits.<ref name="Stevens"/> Essential to the process is the merging of the individual's consciousness with the collective unconscious through a huge range of symbols. By bringing conscious awareness to bear on what is unconscious, such elements can be integrated with consciousness when they "surface".<ref name="Stevens"/> To proceed with the individuation process, individuals need to be open to the parts of themselves beyond their own ego, which is the "organ" of consciousness.<ref name="Stevens"/> In a famous dictum, Jung said, "the Self, like the unconscious is an ''a priori'' existent out of which the ego evolves. It is ... an unconscious prefiguration of the ego. It is not I who create myself, rather I happen to myself'.<ref>Jung. CW 11, para. 391.</ref>

It follows that the aim of (Jungian) psychotherapy is to assist the individual to establish a healthy relationship with the unconscious so that it is neither excessively out of balance in relation to it, as in neurosis, a state that can result in [[major depressive disorder|depression]], [[anxiety]], and [[personality disorder]]s or so flooded by it that it risks psychosis resulting in [[mental breakdown]]. One method Jung applied to his patients between 1913 and 1916 was ''[[active imagination]]'', a way of encouraging them to give themselves over to a form of meditation to release apparently random images from the mind to bridge unconscious contents into awareness.<ref name="The Art of C.G. Jung">{{cite book |editor1-last=Hoerni |editor1-first=Ulrich |editor2-last=Fischer |editor2-first=Thomas |editor3-last=Kaufmann |editor3-first=Bettina |title=The Art of C.G. Jung |year=2019 |publisher=[[W. W. Norton & Company]] |isbn=978-0-393-25487-7 |page=260}}</ref>

"[[Neurosis#Jungian theory|Neurosis]]" in Jung's view results from the build up of [[Defenses (psychology)|psychological defences]] the individual unconsciously musters in an effort to cope with perceived attacks from the outside world, a process he called a "complex", although complexes are not merely defensive in character.<ref name="Stevens"/> The psyche is a self-regulating [[adaptive system]].<ref name="Stevens"/> People are energetic systems, and if the energy is blocked, the psyche becomes sick. If adaptation is thwarted, the psychic energy stops flowing and becomes rigid. This process manifests in neurosis and psychosis. Jung proposed that this occurs through maladaptation of one's internal realities to external ones. The principles of adaptation, projection, and compensation are central processes in Jung's view of psyche's attempts to adapt.

==Innovations of Jungian analysis==
{{main |Psychoanalysis}}

===Philosophical and epistemological foundations===
[[File:Wm james.jpg |thumb |200px |American philosopher of [[Pragmatic theory of truth|pragmatism]] [[William James]] greatly influenced C. G. Jung's thinking.]]

====Philosophy ====
Jung was an adept principally of the American philosopher [[William James]], founder of [[pragmatism]], whom he met during his trip to the United States in 1909.<ref name="DB"/>{{rp |255}} He also encountered other figures associated with James, such as [[John Dewey]] and the anthropologist, [[Franz Boas]].<ref name="DB"/>{{rp |165}} Pragmatism was Jung's favoured route to base his psychology on a sound scientific basis according to historian Sonu Shamdasani.<ref>{{Cite book |author=Shamdasani, Sonu |title=Jung and the making of modern psychology: the dream of a science |publisher=[[Cambridge University Press]] |date=2003 |page=59}}.</ref> His theories consist of observations of phenomena, and according to Jung, it is [[Phenomenology (physics)|phenomenology]]. In his view [[psychologism]] was suspect.<ref name=MDR/>{{blockquote |Displacement into the conceptual deprives experience of its substance and the possibility of being simply named.}} Throughout his writings, Jung sees in [[empirical observation]] not only a precondition of an objective method but also respect for an [[ethical code]] which should guide the psychologist, as he stated in a letter to Joseph Goldbrunner: {{blockquote |I consider it a moral obligation not to make assertions about things one cannot see or whose existence cannot be proved, and I consider it an abuse of epistemological power to do so regardless. These rules apply to all experimental science. Other rules apply to metaphysics. I regard myself as answerable to the rules of experimental science. As a result nowhere in my work are there any metaphysical assertions nor – ''{{lang |la |nota bene}}'' – any negations of a metaphysical nature.<ref>{{Cite book |language=fr |author=Jung, C. G. |title=Correspondence |publisher=[[Éditions Albin Michel|Albin Michel]] |date=1994 |volume=3, 1950–1954 |page=Letter of 14 May 1950 to Joseph Goldbrunner}}</ref>}}

According to the Italo-French psychoanalyst Luigi Aurigemma, Jung's reasoning is also marked by [[Immanuel Kant]], and more generally by German [[rationalist philosophy]]. His lectures are evidence of his assimilation of Kantian thought, especially the ''[[Critique of Pure Reason]]'' and ''[[Critique of Practical Reason]].''<ref name="Aurigemma">{{Cite book |language=fr |author=Aurigemma, Luigi |title=L'Éveil de la conscience |location=Paris |publisher=L'Herne, coll. " Carnets " |date=2009 |isbn=978-2-85197-446-4 |page=54}}</ref> Aurigemma characterises Jung's thinking as "[[epistemological relativism]]" because it does not postulate any belief in the metaphysical.<ref name="Aurigemma"/>{{rp |19}} In fact, Jung uses [[Kant's teleology]] to bridle his thinking and to guard himself from straying into any [[Metaphysics (beyond natural law)|metaphysical]] excursions.<ref name="Aurigemma"/>{{rp |21}} On the other hand, for French historian of psychology, Françoise Parot, contrary to the alleged rationalist vein, Jung is "[[heir]]" to [[German mysticism|mystic]]s ([[Meister Eckhart]], [[Hildegard of Bingen]], or [[Augustine of Hippo]]<ref name="Aurigemma"/>{{rp |96}}) and to the [[Romanticism|romantics]] be they scientists, such as [[Carl Gustav Carus]] or [[Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert]] in particular, or to philosophers and writers, along the lines of [[Friedrich Nietzsche|Nietzsche]], [[Goethe]], and [[Arthur Schopenhauer|Schopenhauer]], in the way he conceptualised the unconscious in particular. Whereas his typology is profoundly dependent on [[Carl Spitteler]].<ref name="DB"/>{{rp |255}}

====Scientific heritage====
[[File:Wundt-research-group.jpg |thumb |upright=1.3 |right |[[Wilhelm Wundt]] and associates in 1880]]
As a trained psychiatrist, Jung had a grounding in the state of science in his day. He regularly refers to the [[experimental psychology]] of [[Wilhelm Wundt]]. His [[Word Association]] Test designed with [[Franz Riklin]] is actually the direct application of Wundt's theory. Notwithstanding the great debt of analytical psychology to [[Sigmund Freud]], Jung borrowed concepts from other theories of his time. For instance, the expression "''abaissement du niveau mental''" ("lowering of the mental level") comes directly from the French psychologist [[Pierre Janet]] whose courses Jung attended during his studies in France in 1901. Jung had always acknowledged how much Janet had influenced his career. 

Jung's use of the concept of "[[participation mystique]]" is owed to the French [[Ethnology|ethnologist]] [[Lucien Lévy-Bruhl]]:{{blockquote |PARTICIPATION MYSTIQUE is a term derived from Lévy-Bruhl. It denotes a peculiar kind of psychological connection with objects, and consists in the fact that the subject cannot clearly distinguish himself from the object but is bound to it by a direct relationship which amounts to partial identity.<ref>{{Cite book | last = Jung | first = C.G. | title = Psychological Types | orig-year = 1921 | year = 1971 | publisher = Princeton University Press | location = Princeton, N.J. | isbn = 0-691-01813-8}}</ref>{{rp|paragraph 781}}}}
Jung used the concept to illustrate the case of men of a South American tribe fantasizing they are macaw birds.

Finally, his use of the English expression, "pattern of behaviour", which is [[synonym]]ous with the term [[Archetypes (Carl Jung)|archetype]], is drawn from British studies in [[ethology]].

The principal contribution to analytical psychology, nevertheless, remains that of Freud's [[psychoanalysis]], from which Jung took a number of concepts, especially the method of inquiring into the [[Unconscious mind|unconscious]] through [[free association (psychology)|free association]]. Individual analysts' thinking was also integrated into his project, among whom are [[Sándor Ferenczi]] (Jung refers to his notion of "[[affect (psychology)|affect]]") or [[Ludwig Binswanger]] and his [[Daseinsanalysis]] (''Daseinsanalyse''). Jung also affirms Freud's contribution to our knowledge of the psyche as being, without doubt, of the highest importance. It reveals penetrating information about the dark corners of the soul and of the human personality, which is of the same order as Nietzsche's ''[[On the Genealogy of Morality]]'' (1887). In this context, Freud was, according to Jung, one of the great cultural critics of the 19th century.<ref name="Interview with Jung">M. L. Hoffman of ''[[The New York Times]]'' in [[Geneva]], as part of research for an article about Freud, Jung answered point by point questions concerning his attitude to the psychoanalysis of the Viennese doctor, on 24 July 1953 in {{cite web |url=http://www.adequations.org/spip.php?article594 |title=Replies to questions about Freud |publisher=adequations.org |access-date=23 December 2009}}</ref>

====Divergences from psychoanalysis====
Jungian analysis is, like psychoanalysis, a method to access, experience and integrate unconscious material into awareness. It is a search for the meaning of behaviours, feelings and events. Many are the channels to extend knowledge of the self: the analysis of dreams is one important avenue. Others may include expressing feelings about and through art, poetry or other expressions of creativity, the examination of conflicts and repeating patterns in a person's life. A comprehensive description of the process of dream interpretation is complex, in that it is highly specific to the person who undertakes it. Most succinctly, it relies on the associations which the particular dream symbols suggest to the dreamer, which at times may be deemed "archetypal" insofar as they are supposed to be common to many people throughout history. Examples could be a hero, an old man or woman, situations of pursuit, flying or falling.

Whereas Freudian psychoanalysis relies entirely on the development of the [[Transference neurosis|transference]] in the ''analysand'' (the person under treatment) to the analyst, Jung initially used the transference and later concentrated more on a [[dialectic]]al and [[Didactic method|didactic]] approach to the symbolic and archetypal material presented by the patient. Moreover, his attitude towards patients departed from what he had observed in Freud's method. [[Anthony Stevens (Jungian analyst)|Anthony Stevens]] has explained it thus:

:Though [Jung's] initial formulations arose mainly out of his own creative illness,<ref>Jung, C. G. ''[[The Red Book (Jung)|The Red Book: Liber Novus]]''. [[Philemon Foundation]] and [[W. W. Norton & Co.]], 2009. {{ISBN |978-0-393-06567-1}} (manuscript produced circa 1915–1932).</ref><ref>Jung, C. G. ''The [[Black Books (Jung)|Black Books]]''. [[Philemon Foundation]] and [[W. W.

Instead, Jung offered the radical proposal that analysis is a ''dialectical'' procedure, a two-way exchange between two people, who are equally involved. Although it was a revolutionary idea when he first suggested it, it is a model which has influenced psychotherapists of most schools, though many seem not to realise that it originated with Jung.<ref name="Stevens2">{{cite book |author=[[Anthony Stevens (Jungian analyst)|Stevens, Anthony]] |title=An Intelligent Person's Guide to Psychotherapy |publisher=[[Duckworth Books|Gerald Duckworth & Co.]] |place=London |date=1998 |page=67 |isbn=0-7156-2820-8}}</ref>

In place of Freud's "surgical detachment", Jung demonstrated a more relaxed and warmer welcome in the consulting room.<ref name="Stevens2"/> He remained aware nonetheless that exposure to a patient's unconscious contents always posed a certain risk of contagion (he calls it "psychic infection") to the analyst, as experienced in the [[countertransference]].<ref>Jung. ''CW'' 16. paras. 364-65.</ref> The process of contemporary Jungian analysis depends on the type of "school of analytical psychology" to which the therapist adheres. The "Zurich School" would reflect the approach Jung himself taught, while those influenced by Michael Fordham and associates in London, would be significantly closer to a Kleinian approach and therefore, concerned with analysis of the transference and countertransference as indicators of repressed material along with the attendant symbols and patterns.<ref>{{cite book |author=[[Michael Fordham|Fordham, Michael]] |title=Jungian Psychotherapy, A Study in Analytical Psychology |place=London |publisher=John Wiley & Sons Ltd |date=1978 |isbn=0-471-99618-1}}</ref>

According to Jung, this demonstrates that the man's attitude is excessively self-assured and thereby refuses to integrate the inferior aspects of his personality, which are denied by his defensive arrogance. Jung calls this a ''compensation mechanism'', necessary for the maintenance of a healthy mental balance. Shortly before his death in 1961, he wrote:{{blockquote |To secure mental and even physiological stability, it is necessary that the conscious and unconscious should be integrated one with the other.

Analytical psychology is recognized for its historical and geographical study of myths as a means to deconstruct, with the aid of symbols, the unconscious manifestations of the psyche. Myths are said to represent directly the elements and phenomena arising from the collective unconscious and though they may be subject to alteration in their detail through time, their significance remains similar. While Jung relies predominantly on Christian or on Western pagan mythology (Ancient Greece and Rome), he holds that the unconscious is driven by mythologies derived from all cultures. He evinced an interest in [[Hinduism]], in [[Zoroastrianism]] and [[Taoism]], which all share fundamental images reflected in the psyche. Thus analytical psychology focusses on meaning, based on the hypothesis that human beings are potentially in constant touch with universal and symbolic aspects common to humankind. In the words of André Nataf: {{blockquote |Jung opens psychoanalysis to a dimension currently obscured by the prevailing [[scientism]]: spirituality. His contribution, though questionable in certain respects, remains unique. His explorations of the unconscious carried out both as a scientist and a poet, indicate that it is structured as a language but one which is in a mythical mode. (Jung ouvre la psychanalyse à une dimension cachée par le scientisme ambiant : la spiritualité. Son apport, quoique contestable sur certains points, reste unique.

===Principal concepts ===
In analytical psychology two distinct types of psychological process may be identified: that deriving from the individual, characterised as "personal", belonging to a subjective psyche, and that deriving from the collective, linked to the structure of an objective psyche, which may be termed "transpersonal".<ref name="Mijolla">{{Cite book |editor=[[Alain de Mijolla|de Mijolla, Alain]] |title=International Dictionary of Psychoanalysis |year=2005 |publisher=MacMillan Reference Books |isbn=0-02-865924-4}}</ref> These processes are both said to be [[Jungian archetypes|archetypal]]. Some of these processes are regarded as specifically linked to consciousness, such as the animus or anima, the persona or the shadow. Others pertain more to the collective sphere. Jung tended to personify the anima and animus as they are, according to him, always attached to a person and represent an aspect of his or her psyche.<ref name="Mijolla"/>

====Anima and animus====
[[File:The Grand Hermetic Androgyne.jpg |thumb |upright=1.0 |left |200px |[[Anima and animus|Animus]] and [[anima and animus|anima]] as represented by the [[Androgyny|androgynous]] [[Alchemy|alchemical]] figure in an [[etching]] from the 1417 ''[[Codex germanicus monacensis]]'']]
{{main |Anima and animus}}
{{anchor |Anima}}
Jung identified the archetypal anima as being the unconscious feminine component of men and the archetypal animus as the unconscious masculine component in women.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Jackson |first=Kathy Merlock |title=Rituals and Patterns in Children's Lives |date=2005 |publisher=The University of Wisconsin Press |isbn=0-299-20830-3 |location=Madison |pages=225}}</ref> These are shaped by the contents of the collective unconscious, by others, and by the larger society.<ref name=":0" /> However, many modern-day Jungian practitioners do not ascribe to a literal definition, citing that the Jungian concept points to every person having both an anima and an animus.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Ivancevic |first1=Vladimir G. |title=Computational Mind: A Complex Dynamics Perspective |last2=Ivancevic |first2=Tijana T. |date=2007 |publisher=Springer |isbn=9783540714651 |location=Berlin |pages=108}}</ref> Jung considered, for instance, an "animus of the anima" in men, in his work ''Aion'' and in an interview in which he says:{{blockquote|Yes, if a man realizes the animus of his anima, then the animus is a substitute for the old wise man. You see, his ego is in relation to the unconscious, and the unconscious is personified by a female figure, the anima. But in the unconscious is also a masculine figure, the wise old man. And that figure is in connection with the anima as her animus, because she is a woman. So, one could say the wise old man was in exactly the same position as the animus to a woman.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RUyWqmZqboEC&pg=PA730 |title=Nietzsche's Zarathustra |last=Jung |first=C. G. |date=1988-09-21 |publisher=Princeton University Press |isbn=9780691099538 |language=en}}</ref>}}Jung stated that the anima and animus act as guides to the unconscious unified Self, and that forming an awareness and a connection with the anima or animus is one of the most difficult and rewarding steps in psychological growth. Jung reported that he identified his anima as she spoke to him, as an inner voice, unexpectedly one day.

In cases where the anima or animus complexes are ignored, they vie for attention by projecting itself on others.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Maciocia |first=Giovanni |title=The Psyche in Chinese Medicine: Treatment of Emotional and Mental Disharmonies with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs |date=2009 |publisher=Churchill Livingstone Elsevier |isbn=978-0-7020-2988-2 |location=Edinburgh |pages=301}}</ref> This explains, according to Jung, why we are sometimes immediately attracted to certain strangers: we see our anima or animus in them. Love at first sight is an example of anima and animus projection. Moreover, people who strongly identify with their gender role (e.g. a man who acts aggressively and never cries) have not actively recognized or engaged their anima or animus.

Jung attributes human rational thought to be the male nature, while the irrational aspect is considered to be natural female (rational being defined as involving judgment, irrational being defined as involving perceptions). Consequently, irrational moods are the progenies of the male anima shadow and irrational opinions of the female animus shadow.

====Archetypes====
{{main |Jungian archetypes}}
The use of archetypes in psychology was advanced by Jung in an essay entitled "Instinct and the Unconscious" in 1919.<ref name="The Art of C.G. Jung"/> The first element in Greek 'arche' signifies 'beginning, origin, cause, primal source principle', by extension it can signify 'position of a leader, supreme rule and government'. The second element 'type' means 'blow or what is produced by a blow, the imprint of a coin ...form, image, prototype, model, order, and norm', ...in the figurative, modern sense, 'pattern underlying form, primordial form'.<ref name="Arch">Stevens, Anthony Archetype Revisited: an Updated Natural History of the Self. Toronto, ON.: Inner City Books, 2003. p. 74.</ref> In his psychological framework, archetypes are innate, universal or personal prototypes for ideas and may be used to interpret observations. The method he favoured was [[hermeneutics]] which was central in his practice of psychology from the start. He made explicit references to hermeneutics in the Collected Works and during his theoretical development of the notion of archetypes. Although he lacks consistency in his formulations, his theoretical development of archetypes is rich in hermeneutic implications. As noted by Smythe and Baydala (2012), {{blockquote |his notion of the archetype as such can be understood hermeneutically as a form of non-conceptual background understanding.<ref>{{Cite journal |title=The hermeneutic background of C. G. Jung |author1=Smythe, William E |author2=Baydala, Angelina |journal=Journal of Analytical Psychology |date=2012 |volume=57 |number=1 |pages=57–75 |doi=10.1111/j.1468-5922.2011.01951.x |pmid=22288541}}</ref>{{page needed|date=December 2021}}}} A group of memories and attitudes associated with an archetype can become a complex, e.g. a mother complex may be associated with a particular mother archetype. Jung treated the archetypes as psychological organs, analogous to physical ones in that both are morphological givens which probably arose through [[evolution]].

Archetypes have been regarded as collective as well as individual, and identifiable in a variety of creative ways. As an example, in his book ''[[Memories, Dreams, Reflections]]'', Jung states that he began to see and talk to a manifestation of anima and that she taught him how to interpret dreams. As soon as he could interpret on his own, Jung said that she ceased talking to him because she was no longer needed.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wikischool |url=https://wikischool.org/ |website=Wikischool |language=en |access-date=15 May 2020 |archive-date=4 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170904155228/https://wikischool.org/ |url-status=usurped }}</ref> However, the essentialism inherent in archetypal theory in general and concerning the anima, in particular, has called for a re-evaluation of Jung's theory in terms of [[emergence]] theory. This would emphasise the role of symbols in the construction of affect in the midst of collective human action. In such a reconfiguration, the visceral energy of a [[numinous experience]] can be retained while the problematic theory of archetypes has outlived its usefulness.<ref>{{Cite journal |author=Colman, Warren |title=Are Archetypes Essential? |journal=Journal of Analytical Psychology |date=2018 |volume=63 |number=3 |pages=336–346 |doi=10.1111/1468-5922.12414 |pmid=29750343}}</ref>

====Collective unconscious====
{{Main |Collective unconscious}}
Jung's concept of the collective unconscious has undergone re-interpretation over time. The term "collective unconscious" first appeared in Jung's 1916 essay, "The Structure of the Unconscious".<ref>[[Polly Young-Eisendrath|Young-Eisendrath]] & Dawson, ''Cambridge Companion to Jung'' (2008), "Chronology" (pp. xxiii–xxxvii). According to the 1953 ''Collected Works'' editors, the 1916 essay was translated by M. Marsen from German into French and published as "La Structure de l'inconscient" in ''[[Archives de Psychologie]]'' XVI (1916); they state that the original German manuscript no longer exists.</ref> This essay distinguishes between the "personal", Freudian unconscious, filled with fantasies (e. g. sexual) and repressed images, and the "collective" unconscious encompassing the soul of humanity at large.<ref>Jung, ''Collected Works'' vol. 7 (1953), "The Structure of the Unconscious" (1916), ¶437–507 (pp. 263–292).</ref>

In "The Significance of Constitution and Heredity in Psychology" (November 1929), Jung wrote:{{blockquote|And the essential thing, psychologically, is that in dreams, fantasies, and other exceptional states of mind the most far-fetched mythological motifs and symbols can appear autochthonously at any time, often, apparently, as the result of particular influences, traditions, and excitations working on the individual, but more often without any sign of them. These "primordial images" or "archetypes," as I have called them, belong to the basic stock of the unconscious psyche and cannot be explained as personal acquisitions. Together they make up that psychic stratum which has been called the collective unconscious.

The existence of the collective unconscious means that individual consciousness is anything but a ''tabula rasa'' and is not immune to predetermining influences. On the contrary, it is in the highest degree influenced by inherited presuppositions, quite apart from the unavoidable influences exerted upon it by the environment. The collective unconscious comprises in itself the psychic life of our ancestors right back to the earliest beginnings. It is the matrix of all conscious psychic occurrences, and hence it exerts an influence that compromises the freedom of consciousness in the highest degree, since it is continually striving to lead all conscious processes back into the old paths.<ref>Jung, ''Collected Works'' vol. 8 (1960), "The Significance of Constitution and Heredity in Psychology" (1929), ¶229–230 (p. 112).</ref>}}

Given that in his day he lacked the advances of [[complexity science|complexity theory]] and especially [[complex adaptive system]]s (CAS), it has been argued that his vision of archetypes as a stratum in the collective unconscious, corresponds to nodal patterns in the collective unconscious which go on to shape the characteristic patterns of human imagination and experience and in that sense, "seems a remarkable, intuitive articulation of the CAS model".<ref name="Cambray2">{{cite book |author=Cambray, Joseph |page=232 |chapter=Synchronicity as emergence |title=Analytical Psychology:Contemporary Perspectives in Jungian Analysis |publisher=Brunner-Routledge |editor1=Cambray, Joseph |editor2=Carter, Linda}}</ref>

====Individuation====
{{Further |Individuation}}

Individuation is a complex process that involves going through different stages of growing awareness through the progressive confrontation and integration of personal unconscious elements. This is the central concept of analytical psychology first introduced in 1916.<ref>Roudinesco,

Individuation is from the first what the analysand must undergo, to integrate the other elements of the psyche.<ref name="Aurigemma"/>{{rp |35}} This pursuit of wholeness aims to establish the Self, which include both the rational conscious mind of the ego and the irrational contents of the unconscious, as the new personality center.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Wenzel |first=Amy |title=The SAGE Encyclopedia of Abnormal and Clinical Psychology |publisher=SAGE Publications |year=2017 |isbn=978-1-5063-5322-7 |location=Thousand Oaks, CA}}</ref> Prior to individuation, the analysand is carefully assessed to determine if the ego is strong enough to take the intensity of this process.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Harris |first=Judith |title=Jung and Yoga: The Psyche-body Connection |publisher=Inner City Books |year=2001 |isbn=0-919123-95-3 |location=Toronto, ON |pages=23}}</ref> The elements to be integrated include the [[persona]] which acts as the representative of the person in her/his role in society, the shadow which contains all that is personally unknown and what the person considers morally reprehensible and, the anima or the animus, which respectively carry their feminine and masculine values.<ref>Aurigemma, p. 35</ref> For Jung many unconscious conflicts at the root of neurosis are caused by the difficulty to accept that such a dynamic can unbalance the subject from his habitual position and confronts her/him with aspects of the self they were accustomed to ignore. Once individuation is completed the ego is no longer at the centre of the personality.<ref>Roudinesco, p. 732</ref> The process, however, does not lead to a complete self-realization and that individuation can never be a fixed state due to the unfathomable nature of the depths of the collective unconscious.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Brooke |first=Roger |title=Jung and Phenomenology, Classic Edition |publisher=Routledge |year=2015 |isbn=978-1-138-78727-8 |location=New York |pages=22}}</ref>

====Shadow====
{{Main |Shadow (psychology)}}
The [[Shadow (psychology)|shadow]] is an unconscious [[Complex (psychology)|complex]] defined as the repressed, suppressed or disowned qualities of the conscious self.<ref>Anthony Stevens, ''On Jung'' (London 1990) p. 43</ref> According to Jung, the human being deals with the reality of the shadow in four ways: denial, projection, integration and/or transmutation. Jung himself asserted that "the result of the Freudian method of elucidation is a minute elaboration of man's shadow-side unexampled in any previous age."<ref>Jung, C. G. 1993. ''[[The Practice of Psychotherapy]]''. London.</ref>{{Rp |63}} According to analytical psychology, a person's shadow may have both constructive and destructive aspects. In its more destructive aspects, the shadow can represent those things people do not accept about themselves. For instance, the shadow of someone who identifies as being kind may be harsh or unkind. Conversely, the shadow of a person who perceives himself to be brutal may be gentle. In its more constructive aspects, a person's shadow may represent hidden positive qualities. This has been referred to as the "gold in the shadow". Jung emphasized the importance of being aware of shadow material and incorporating it into conscious awareness to avoid projecting shadow qualities on others.

The shadow in dreams is often represented by dark figures of the same gender as the dreamer.<ref>Jung, C.G. (1958–1967). ''Psyche and Symbol''. (R. F. C. Hull, Trans.). Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press (published 1991).</ref>

The shadow may also concern great figures in the history of human thought or even spiritual masters, who became great because of their shadows or because of their ability to live their shadows (namely, their unconscious faults) in full without repressing them.

====Persona====
{{main |Persona (psychology) |False self}}
[[File:Panneau masques.jpg |thumb |upright=1.0 |[[Persona]] is a social representation of the self, drawn from the Latin term for "mask". It serves as a public face.]]

Just like the ''anima'' and ''animus'', the ''persona'' (derived from the Latin term for a mask, as would have been worn by actors) is another key concept in analytical psychology. It is the part of the personality which manages an individual's relations with society in the outside world and works the same way for both sexes.<ref>Roudinesco. p. 727</ref> {{blockquote |The persona ... is the individual's system of adaptation to, or the manner assumed in dealing with the world.

====Psychological types====
{{main |Psychological types}}

Analytical psychology distinguishes several psychological types or temperaments.
* '''[[Extraversion|Extravert]]'''
* '''[[Introversion|Introvert]]'''

According to Jung, the psyche is an apparatus for adaptation and orientation, and consists of a number of different psychic functions. Among these he distinguishes four basic functions:<ref name=Psychological_Types>Jung, C.G., "Psychological Types" (''The Collected Works of C.G. Jung'', Vol.6).</ref>
* Sensation – Perception by means of the sense organs
* Intuition – Perceiving in unconscious way or perception of unconscious contents
* Thinking – Function of intellectual cognition; the forming of logical conclusions
* Feeling – Function of subjective estimation

{{See also |Myers–Briggs Type Indicator |Socionics}}

====Complexes====
{{main |Complex (psychology)}}

Early in Jung's career he coined the term and described the concept of the "[[complex (psychology)|complex]]". Jung claims to have discovered the concept during his [[free association (psychology)|free association]] and [[galvanic skin response]] experiments. Freud obviously took up this concept in his [[Oedipus complex]] amongst others. Jung seemed to see complexes as quite autonomous parts of psychological life. It is almost as if Jung were describing separate personalities within what is considered a single individual, but to equate Jung's use of complexes with something along the lines of [[multiple personality disorder]] would be a step out of bounds.

Jung saw an archetype as always being the central organizing structure of a complex. For instance, in a "negative mother complex", the archetype of the "negative mother" would be seen to be central to the identity of that complex. This is to say, our psychological lives are patterned on common human experiences. Jung saw the [[Id, ego and super-ego|Ego]] (which Freud wrote about in German literally as the "I", one's conscious experience of oneself) as a complex. If the "I" is a complex, what might be the archetype that structures it? Jung, and many Jungians, might say "the [[hero]]", one who separates from the community to ultimately carry the community further.

====Synchronicity====
{{Main |Synchronicity}}
[[File:Cetonia-aurata.jpg|thumb|A [[Cetonia aurata|rose chafer]], the type of beetle Jung caught in his hand, as he heard a patient's dream containing a golden scarab]]

The often cited example of the phenomenon is Jung's own account of a beetle (the common rose-chafer, ''[[Cetonia aurata]]'') flying into his consulting room directly following on from his patient telling him a dream featuring a golden scarab.<ref>Jung, C.G. ''CW'', '''8'''. para. 845. "A young woman I was treating had, at a critical moment, a dream in which she was given a golden scarab. While she was telling me this dream I sat with my back to the closed window. Suddenly I heard a noise behind me, like a gentle tapping. I turned round and saw a flying insect knocking against the window-pane from outside. I opened the window and caught the creature in the air as it flew in. It was the nearest analogy to a golden scarab that one finds in our latitudes, a scarabaeid beetle, the common rose chafer (''[[Cetonia aurata]]''), which contrary to its usual habits had evidently felt an urge to get into a dark room at this particular moment. I must admit that nothing like it ever happened to me before or since, and that the dream of the patient has remained unique in my experience."</ref> The concept only makes sense psychologically and cannot be reduced to a verified or scientific fact. For Jung it constitutes a working hypothesis which has subsequently given rise to many ambiguities.{{blockquote |I chose this term because the simultaneous occurrence of two meaningfully but not causally connected events seemed to me an essential criterion. I am therefore using the general concept of synchronicity in the special sense of a coincidence in time of two or more causally unrelated events which have the same or a similar meaning, in contrast to [[Chronological synchronism|synchronism]], which simply means the simultaneous occurrence of two events.

Synchronicity therefore means the simultaneous occurrence of a certain psychic state with one or more external events which appear as meaningful parallels to the momentary subjective state -and, in certain cases, vice versa.<ref>Jung, C.G.

According to Jung, an archetype which has been constellated in the psyche can, under certain circumstances, transgress the boundary between substance and psyche.

Synchronicity is among the most developed ideas by Jung's followers, notably by {{Interlanguage link |Michel Cazenave |fr}}, [[James Hillman]], Roderick Main,<ref>{{cite book |last1=Main |first1=Roderick |url=https://archive.org/details/jungonsynchronic00carl |title=Jung on Synchronicity and the Paranormal |date=1997 |publisher=Princeton University Press |isbn=9780691058375 |url-access=registration}}</ref> [[Carl Alfred Meier]] and by the British developmental clinician, George Bright.<ref>{{Cite journal |author=Bright, George |date=2006 |title=Synchronicity as A Basis of Analytic Attitude |journal=Journal of Analytical Psychology |volume=42 |pages=613–635 |doi=10.1111/j.1465-5922.1997.00613.x |number=4}}</ref> It has been explored also in a range of spiritual currents who have sought in it a scientific rigour.<ref name="Kirsch">{{cite book |author=Kirsch, Thomas |title=The Jungians: a comparative and historical perspective |date=2000 |publisher=Routledge |pages=244–245}}</ref>

Although Synchronicity as conceived by Jung within the bounds of the science available in his day, has been categorised as [[pseudoscience]], recent developments in [[complex adaptive system]]s argue for a revision of such a view.<ref name="Cambray2" /> Critics cite that Jung's experiments that sought to provide statistical proof for this theory did not yield satisfactory result.<ref name=":4">{{Cite book |last=Aziz |first=Robert |title=C.

==Post-Jungian approaches==
[[Andrew Samuels]] (1985) has distinguished three distinct traditions or approaches of "post-Jungian" psychology – classical, developmental and archetypal. Today there are more developments.

===Classical===
{{Main |The Red Book (Jung) |Black Books (Jung)}}
[[File:Jung-Institut.JPG |thumb |The [[C.G. Jung Institute]] in [[Kusnacht]], Switzerland]]
The classical approach tries to remain faithful to Jung's proposed model, his teachings and the substance of his 20 volume Collected Works, together with recently published works, such as the ''[[Liber Novus]]'',<ref>''The Red Book: Liber Novus''. tr. M. Kyburz, J. Peck and [[Sonu Shamdasani|S. Shamdasani]]. New York: W. W. Norton, 2009. {{ISBN |978-0-393-06567-1}}.</ref> and the [[Black Books (Jung)|Black Books]].<ref>{{Cite book |author=Jung, C.G. |title=The Black Books of C.G. Jung (1913–1932) |editor=[[Sonu Shamdasani|Shamdasani, Sonu]] |translator1=Liebscher, Martin |translator2=Peck, John |translator3=Shamdasani, Sonu |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eqbGDwAAQBAJ |publisher=[[Philemon Foundation]] & [[W. W. Norton & Company]] |date=October 2020 |isbn=978-0-3930-8864-9}}</ref> Prominent advocates of this approach, according to Samuels (1985), include [[Emma Jung]], Jung's wife, an analyst in her own right, [[Marie-Louise von Franz]], [[Joseph L. Henderson]], [[Aniela Jaffé]], [[Erich Neumann (psychologist)|Erich Neumann]], [[Gerhard Adler]] and [[Jolande Jacobi]]. Jung credited Neumann, author of "Origins of Conscious" and "Origins of the Child", as his principal student to advance his (Jung's) theory into a [[mythology]]-based approach.<ref>{{cite book |title=Analytical Psychology in Exile: The Correspondence of C. G. Jung and Erich Neumann [[Philemon Foundation|(Philemon Foundation Series)]] |author=Jung, C. G. |author2=Neumann, Erich |editor=Liebscher, Martin |translator=Heather McCartney |publisher=[[Princeton University Press]] |date=2015 |isbn=978-0691166179}}</ref> He is associated with developing the symbolism and archetypal significance of several myths: the Child, Creation, the Hero, the ''[[The Great Mother|Great Mother]]'' and [[Transcendence (philosophy)|Transcendence]].<ref name="AS"/>

===Archetypal===
{{main |Archetypal psychology |Archetypal |Mythopoetic men's movement}}
One archetypal approach, sometimes called "the imaginal school" by [[James Hillman]], was written about by him in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Its adherents, according to Samuels (1985), include [[Gerhard Adler]], [[Irene Claremont de Castillejo]], [[Adolf Guggenbühl-Craig]], Murray Stein, {{Interlanguage link |Rafael López-Pedraza |es}} and [[Wolfgang Giegerich]]. [[Thomas Moore (spiritual writer)|Thomas Moore]] also was influenced by some of Hillman's work. Developed independently, other psychoanalysts have created strong approaches to archetypal psychology. [[Mythopoetic men's movement|Mythopoeticists]] and psychoanalysts such as [[Clarissa Pinkola Estés]] who believes that ethnic and aboriginal people are the originators of archetypal psychology and have long carried the maps for the journey of the soul in their songs, tales, dream-telling, art and rituals; [[Marion Woodman]] who proposes a feminist viewpoint regarding archetypal psychology. Some of the mythopoetic/archetypal psychology creators either imagine the Self not to be the main archetype of the collective unconscious as Jung thought, but rather assign each archetype equal value.{{Citation needed |date=February 2009}} Others, who are modern progenitors of archetypal psychology (such as Estés), think of the Self as the thing that contains and yet is suffused by all other archetypes, each giving life to the other.

[[Robert L. Moore (psychologist)|Robert L. Moore]] has explored the archetypal level of the human psyche in a series of five books co-authored with Douglas Gillette, which have played an important role in the [[men's movement]] in the United States. Moore studies computerese so he uses a computer's hard wiring (its fixed physical components) as a metaphor for the archetypal level of the human psyche. Personal experiences influence the access to the archetypal level of the human psyche, but personalized ego consciousness can be likened to computer software.{{citation needed |date=April 2013}}

In the 21st century, [[Jordan Peterson]] is a prominent Jungian psychologist whose extensive work ''[[Maps of Meaning]]'' is centered on the theories of Jungian archetypes.<ref>{{cite news |last=Lott |first=Tim |date=20 September 2017 |title=Jordan Peterson and the transgender wars |work=[[The Spectator]] |url=https://life.spectator.co.uk/2017/09/jordan-peterson-and-the-transgender-wars/ |url-status=dead |access-date=16 June 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190421123237/https://life.spectator.co.uk/2017/09/jordan-peterson-and-the-transgender-wars/ |archive-date=21 April 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|first=Craig|last=Lambert|url=https://harvardmagazine.com/1998/09/right.chaos.html|title=Chaos, Culture, Curiosity|date=September 1998|work=[[Harvard Magazine]]}}</ref>

===Developmental===
A major expansion of Jungian theory is credited to [[Michael Fordham]] and his wife, [[Frieda Fordham]]. It can be considered a bridge between traditional Jungian analysis and [[Melanie Klein]]'s [[object relations theory]]. [[Judith Hubback]] and William Goodheart MD are also included in this group.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sfgate/obituary.aspx?n=william-goodheart&pid=194986725 |title=Obituary: William Godheart (1934–2020) |publisher=www.legacy.com}}</ref> [[Andrew Samuels]] (1985) considers [[J.W.T. Redfearn]], Richard Carvalho and himself as representatives of the developmental approach. Samuels notes how this approach differs from the classical by giving less emphasis to the Self and more emphasis to the development of personality; he also notes how, in terms of practice in therapy, it gives more attention to [[transference]] and [[counter-transference]] than either the classical or the archetypal approaches.

===Sandplay therapy===
{{Main |Play therapy#Models}}
[[File:Sandspiel1.jpg|thumb|An example of a sandplay scenario]]
Sandplay is a non-directive, creative form of therapy using the imagination, originally used with children and adolescents, later also with adults. Jung had stressed the importance of finding the image behind the emotion. The use of sand in a suitable tray with figurines and other small toys, farm animals, trees, fences and cars enables a narrative to develop through a series of scenarios. This is said to express an ongoing dialogue between the conscious and the unconscious aspects of the psyche, which in turn activates a healing process whereby the patient and therapist can together view the evolving sense of self.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Jungian Sandplay |url=https://www.sandplay.org.uk/content/jungian-sandplay-0 |publisher=British and Irish Sandplay Society |access-date=13 January 2021 |archive-date=8 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190508090941/https://sandplay.org.uk/content/jungian-sandplay-0 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Jungian Sandplay started as a therapeutic method in the 1950s. Although its origin has been credited to a Swiss Jungian analyst, [[Dora Kalff]] it was in fact, her mentor and trainer, Dr. [[Margaret Lowenfeld]], a British paediatrician, who had developed the ''Lowenfeld World Technique'' inspired by the writer [[H. G. Wells]] in her work with children,<ref>[[H. G. Wells]]' ''[[Floor Games]]'' has been regarded as a precursor not only of [[learning through play]] but also of nonverbal child psychotherapy. See Barbara A. Turner's 2004 edition, published by Temenos Press of Coverdale, CA.</ref> using a sand tray and figurines in the 1930s.<ref>[http://www.sandplay.org/history.htm Sandplay History – Techniques developed from Lowenfeld's World Technique] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070712090232/http://www.sandplay.org/history.htm |date=12 July 2007 }} Retrieved, 28 June 2009</ref> Jung had witnessed a demonstration of the technique while on a visit to the UK in 1937. Kalff saw in it potential as a further application of analytical psychology. Encouraged by Jung, Kalff developed the new application over a number of years and called it ''Sandplay''.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211205/aWd40dMH70c Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20190904051122/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWd40dMH70c Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite web| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWd40dMH70c| title = Sandplay - Dora Kalff | website=[[YouTube]]| date = 30 September 2013 }}{{cbignore}}</ref> From 1962 she began to train Jungian Analysts in the method including in the United States, Europe and Japan. Both Kalff and Jung believed an image can offer greater therapeutic engagement and insight than words alone. Through the sensory experience of working with sand and objects, and their symbolic resonance new areas of awareness can be brought into consciousness, as in dreams, which through their frames and storyline can bring material into consciousness as part of an integrating and healing process. The historian of psychology, [[Sonu Shamdasani]] has commented:

{{Blockquote |Historical reflection suggests the spirit of Jung's practice of the image, his engagement with his own figures, is indeed more alive in Sandplay than in other Jungian conclaves.<ref>{{Cite journal |author=Shamdasani, S. |date=2015 |title=Jung's Practice of the Image |journal=Journal of Sandplay Therapy |volume=24 |issue=1}}</ref>}}

One of Dora Kalff's trainees was the American concert pianist, [[Joel Ryce-Menuhin]], whose music career was ended by illness and who retrained as a Jungian analyst and exponent of sandplay.<ref>{{Cite book |author=Ryce-Menuhin, J. |date=1992 |title=Jungian sandplay: The wonderful therapy |publisher=Routledge Press |location=London & New York |isbn=0415047757}}</ref>

===Process-oriented psychology===
{{main |Process oriented psychology}}
Process-oriented psychology (also called Process work) is associated with the Zurich-trained Jungian analyst [[Arnold Mindell]]. Process work developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s and was originally identified as a "daughter of Jungian psychology".<ref>{{cite book |title=A Path Made by Walking |author=Julie Diamond |publisher=Lao Tse Press |date=2004 |page=6 |quote=In the mid-1980s, Arnold Mindell presented a lecture called 'Jungian Psychology has a Daughter' to the Jungian community in Zurich.}}</ref> Process work stresses awareness of the "unconscious" as an ongoing flow of experience. This approach expands Jung's work beyond verbal individual therapy to include body experience, altered and comatose states as well as multicultural group work.

==The analytic attitude==
Formally Jungian analysis differs little from [[psychoanalysis]]. However, variants of each school have developed overlaps and specific divergences through the century, or more, of their existence. They share a "[[Frame (psychotherapy)|frame]]" consisting of regular spatio-temporal meetings, one or more times a week, focusing on patient material, using dialogue which may consist of elaboration, [[Amplification (psychology)|amplification]] and [[abreaction]] and which may last on average three years (sometimes more briefly or far longer). The spatial arrangement between analyst and analysand may differ: seated face to face or the patient may use the couch with the analyst seated behind.<ref name="R & P">{{Cite book |language=fr |author1=Roudinesco, Élisabeth |author2=Plon, Michel |title=Dictionnaire de la psychanalyse |section=Entrée " Jung " |publisher=Fayard |location=Paris |date=2011 |isbn=978-2-253-08854-7}}</ref>

In some approaches alternative elements of expression can take place, such as [[active imagination]], [[Sandplay Therapy|sandplay]],<ref>Kirsch, Thomas B. (2012). The Jungians: A Comparative and Historical Perspective. Routledge. pp. 233–236. {{ISBN |9781134725519}}.</ref> drawing or painting, even music. The session may at times become semi-directed (in contrast to [[psychoanalysis|psychoanalytic treatment]] which is essentially a non-directive encounter).<ref name="R & P"/>{{rp |page=738}} The patient is at the heart of the therapy, as Marie Louise von Franz has it in her work, "Psychotherapy: the practitioner's experience", where she recounts Jung's thinking on that point.<ref>[[Marie-Louise von Franz|von Franz, M-L]]. 1990 ''Psychotherapie. Erfahrungen aus der Praxis''. (Gesammelte Aufsätze Bd. 3). Daimon, Einsiedeln/Zürich. {{ISBN |3-85630-036-8}}. (in German)</ref> The [[Transference neurosis|transference]] is sought out (contrary to psychoanalytic treatment which distinguishes positive and negative transferences) and, the interpretation of dreams is one of the central pillars of Jungian psychotherapy. In all other respects, the rules correspond to those of classical psychoanalysis: the analyst examines [[Free association (psychology)|free association]]s and tries to be objective and ethical, meaning respectful of the patient's pace and rhythm of unfolding progress. In fact, the task of Jungian analysis is not merely to explore the patient's past, but to connect conscious awareness with the unconscious such that a better adaptation to their emotional and social life may ensue.

Neurosis is not a symptom of the re-emergence of a repressed past, but is regarded as the functional, sometimes somatic, incapacity to face certain aspects of lived reality. In Jungian analysis the unconscious is the motivator whose task it is to bring into awareness the patient's shadow, in alliance with the analyst, the more so since unconscious processes enacted in the transference provoke a dependent relationship by the analysand on the analyst, leading to a falling away of the usual defences and references. This requires that the analyst guarantee the safety of the transference.<ref>Extracted from {{Cite web |url=http://www.cgjungfrance.com/article3.html |title=Code de déontologie de la SFPA (Code of Ethics of the French Society of Analytical Psychology) |publisher=cgjungfrance.com |language=fr |access-date=7 March 2011 |archive-date=1 March 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110301050535/http://www.cgjungfrance.com/article3.html |url-status=dead }}.</ref> The responsibilities and accountability of individual analysts and their membership organisations, matters of clinical confidentiality and codes of ethics and professional relations with the public sphere are explored in a volume edited by Solomon and Twyman, with contributions from Jungian analysts and psychoanalysts.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Woodhead, J. |date=2004 |title=SOLOMON, HESTER MCFARLAND & TWYMAN, MARY (Eds.).

On Psychosis, Sexual Identity and Religion |date=1991 |access-date=1 December 2020}}</ref> In his introduction to the 2011 edition of Jung's "Lectures on the Theory of Psychoanalysis", given in New York City in 1912, [[Sonu Shamdasani]] contends that Freud orchestrated a round of critical reviews of Jung's writings from [[Karl Abraham]], Jung's former colleague at the [[Burghölzli]] hospital, and from the early Welsh Freudian, [[Ernest Jones]].<ref>{{cite book |author=Jung, C.G |translator=Hull, R.

The French philosopher, {{Interlanguage link |Yvon Brès |fr}}, considers that the concept of the collective unconscious, "shows also how easily one can slip from the psychological unconscious into perspectives from a universe of thought, quite alien from traditional philosophy and science, where this idea arose." ("Le concept jungien d'inconscient collectif "témoigne également de la facilité avec laquelle on peut glisser du concept d'inconscient psychologique vers des perspectives relevant d'un univers de pensée étranger à la tradition philosophique et scientifique dans laquelle ce concept est né'").<ref>{{Cite book |author =Brès, Yvon |title=L'Inconscient |series=Philo |publisher=Ellipses |location=Paris |date=2002 |language=fr |isbn=2-7298-0974-0 |page=123}}</ref>

In his ''Le Livre Rouge de la psychanalyse'' ("Red Book of psychoanalysis"), the French psychoanalyst, {{Interlanguage link |Alain Amselek |fr}}, criticizes Jung's tendency to be fascinated by the image and to reduce the human to an archetype. He contends that Jung dwells in a world of ideas and abstractions, in a world of books and old secrets lost in ancient books of spells (fr: [[grimoires]]). While claiming to be an empiricist, Amselek finds Jung to be an idealist, a pure thinker who has unquestionably demonstrated his intellectual talent for speculation and the invention of ideas. While he considers his epistemology to be in advance of that of Freud, Jung remains stuck in his intellectualism and in his narrow provincial outlook.{{Clarify|date=May 2021}} In fact, his hypotheses are determined by the concept of his postulated pre-existing world and he has constantly sought to find confirmations of it in the old traditions of Western Medieval Europe.<ref>{{Cite book |author=Amselek, Alain |title=Le Livre Rouge de la psychanalyse |publisher=Desclée de Brouwer |location=Paris |date=2010 |language=fr |pages=85–119}}</ref>

Perhaps the most prominent critic of Analytical Psychology has been American clinical psychologist and historian of medicine [[Richard Noll]], who claims that Analytical Psychology "was constructed deliberately, and somewhat deceptively, by Jung to make his own magical, polytheist, pagan worldview more palatable to a secularized world conditioned to respect only those ideas that seem to have a scientific air to them. I make this judgment about Jung without being either Christian or Jew or Moslem--or Freudian".<ref>Noll, Richard. ''The Aryan Christ: The Secret Life of Carl Jung''. New York: Random House. 1997. pg. 4 {{ISBN |0-679-44945-0}}</ref>

He argues in his books "The Jung Cult: Origins of a Charismatic Movement" and "The Aryan Christ: The Secret Life of Carl Jung" that Jung secretly founded a mystery cult based on pre-Christian Germanic pagan ideals, influenced by the late 19th and early 20th century [[Völkisch movement]].<ref>Noll, Richard. ''The Aryan Christ: The Secret Life of Carl Jung''. New York: Random House. 1997. pg. 6 {{ISBN |0-679-44945-0}}</ref>

Noll's work was received critically by the Jungian community. [[Sonu Shamdasani]], who originally corresponded with Noll prior to his publication of "The Jung Cult", wrote a rebuttal titled "Cult Fictions", in which he claims "some of Jung’s followers were responsible for attempting to turn analytical psychology into a quasi-religious cult, but not Jung himself. This distinction is critical."<ref>Shamdasani, Sonu. ''Cult Fictions''. London: Routledge. 1998. pg. 6 {{ISBN|978-0-203-36076-7}}</ref>

French psychoanalyst [[Élisabeth Roudinesco]], another critic of Noll, stated in a review: "Even if Noll's theses are based on a solid familiarity with the Jungian ''corpus'' [...], they deserve to be re-examined, such is the detestation of the author for the object of his study that it diminishes the credibility of the arguments." ("Même si les thèses de Noll sont étayées par une solide connaissance du corpus jungien [...], elles méritent être réexaminées, tant la détestation de l'auteur vis-à-vis de son objet d'étude diminue la crédibilité de l'argumentation.")<ref>{{Cite journal |author=[[Élisabeth Roudinesco|Roudinesco, Élisabeth]] |journal=[[Liberation (magazine)|Libération]] |url=http://www.psychologies.com/livres.cfm/livre/802/Jung-le-Christ-aryen.htm |title=Intervention d'Élisabeth Roudinesco sur R.

French [[Ethnography|ethnographer]] and [[Anthropology|anthropologist]] {{Interlanguage link |Jean-Loïc Le Quellec |fr}} criticized Jung over his alleged misuse of the term ''archetype'' and his "suspect motives" in dealings with some of his colleagues.<ref>{{Cite book |author=Le Quellec, J-L |title=Jung et les archétypes: Un mythe contemporain |language=fr |date=2013 |publisher=Éditions Sciences Humaines |location=Auxerre |pages=117–132 |isbn=978-2-36106-045-9}}</ref>
