Carl Jung’s analytical psychology was motivated by his exploration of the collective unconscious and the importance of archetypes. His experiences as a psychiatrist and his studies in mythology and religion revealed underlying patterns in human behavior. Jung believed that personal and cultural symbols significantly influence psychological development. His personal struggles, particularly with spirituality and identity, informed his theories on achieving individuation and wholeness. Jung’s emphasis on the interplay between the conscious and unconscious remains foundational in psychology, offering profound insights into personal development and self-awareness.
