He worked as a research scientist at the [[Burghölzli]] psychiatric hospital in [[Zurich]], under [[Eugen Bleuler]]. Jung established himself as an influential mind, developing a friendship with Freud, founder of [[psychoanalysis]], conducting a [[The Freud/Jung Letters|lengthy correspondence]] paramount to their joint vision of human psychology. Jung is widely regarded as one of the most influential psychologists in history.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://thebuzzdiary.com/carl-jung-one-of-the-most-influential-psychiatrists-of-all-time/ | title=Carl Jung – One of the Most Influential Psychiatrists of All Time | date=26 July 2022 }}</ref><ref name="Corbett" />

Freud saw the younger Jung not only as the heir he had been seeking to take forward his "new science" of psychoanalysis but as a means to legitimize his own work: Freud and other contemporary psychoanalysts were Jews facing rising antisemitism in Europe, and Jung was raised as [[Christians|Christian]], although he did not strictly adhere to traditional Christian doctrine, he saw religion, including Christianity, as a powerful expression of the human psyche and its search for meaning.<ref>{{cite book|last=Yerushalmi|first=Yosef Hayim|author-link=Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi|title=Freud's Moses|year=1991|publisher=Yale University Press|isbn=0-300-05756-3|page=42}} Freud wrote, "[I]t was only by his appearance on the scene that psycho-analysis escaped the danger of becoming a Jewish national affair."</ref>  Freud secured Jung's appointment as president of Freud's newly founded [[International Psychoanalytical Association]]. Jung's research and personal vision, however, made it difficult to follow his older colleague's doctrine, and they parted ways. This division was painful for Jung and resulted in the establishment of Jung's analytical psychology, as a comprehensive system separate from psychoanalysis. 

Among the central concepts of analytical psychology is [[Individuation#Carl Jung|individuation]]—the lifelong psychological process of differentiation of the self out of each individual's conscious and unconscious elements. Jung considered it to be the main task of human development. He created some of the best-known psychological concepts, including [[synchronicity]], [[Jungian archetypes|archetypal phenomena]], the [[collective unconscious]], the [[Complex (psychology)|psychological complex]], and [[extraversion and introversion]]. His treatment of American businessman and politician [[Rowland Hazard III|Rowland Hazard]] in 1926 with his conviction that [[Alcoholism|alcoholics]] may recover if they have a "[[Religious experience|vital spiritual (or religious) experience]]" played a crucial role in the chain of events that led to the formation of [[Alcoholics Anonymous]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Alcoholics Anonymous |url=http://archive.org/details/passitonstory00alco |title="Pass it on": the story of Bill Wilson and how the A.A. message reached the world |date=1984 |publisher=New York: Alcoholics Anonymous World Services |others=Internet Archive |isbn=978-0-916856-12-0}}</ref> Jung was an [[artist]], [[Artisan|craftsman]], builder, and prolific writer.

Paul Jung, Carl's father, was the youngest son of a noted German-Swiss professor of medicine at [[Basel]], [[Karl Gustav Jung]] (1794–1864).<ref>Bair, pp. 8–13.</ref> Paul's hopes of achieving a fortune never materialised, nor did he progress beyond the status of an impoverished rural pastor in the [[Swiss Reformed Church]]. Emilie Preiswerk, Carl's mother, had also grown up in a large family whose Swiss roots went back five centuries. Emilie was the youngest child of a distinguished Basel churchman and academic, [[Samuel Preiswerk]] (1799–1871), and his second wife. Samuel Preiswerk was an ''[[Antistes]]'' (the title given to the head of the Reformed clergy in the city) as well as a [[Hebraist]], author, and editor, who taught Paul Jung as his professor of [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] at [[Basel University]].<ref name="Wehr"/>{{rp|[https://archive.org/details/jungbiography0000wehr/page/17 17–19]|url=https://archive.org/details/jungbiography0000wehr/page/17}}
[[File:Pfarrhaus Kleinhüningen.jpg|thumb|The clergy house in Kleinhüningen, Basel, where Jung grew up]]
Jung's father was appointed to a more prosperous parish in [[Laufen-Uhwiesen|Laufen]] when Carl was six months old.  Tensions between father and mother had developed. Jung's mother was an eccentric and depressed woman; she spent considerable time in her bedroom, where she said spirits visited her at night.<ref name="Memories, Dreams, Reflections">{{Cite book|title=Memories, Dreams, Reflections|page=18}}</ref> Though she was normal during the day, Jung recalled that at night his mother became strange and mysterious. He said that one night, he saw a faintly luminous and indefinite figure coming from her room, with a head detached from the neck and floating in the air in front of the body. Jung had a better relationship with his father.<ref name="Memories, Dreams, Reflections"/>

Jung's mother left Laufen for several months of hospitalization near Basel for some unspecified physical ailment. His father took Carl to be cared for by Emilie Jung's unmarried sister in Basel, but he was later brought back to his father's residence. Emilie Jung's continuing bouts of absence and depression deeply troubled her son and caused him to associate women with "innate unreliability", whereas "father" meant for him reliability, but also powerlessness.<ref>{{cite book|title=Carl Jung: Wounded Healer of the Soul: An Illustrated Biography|page=5|last=Dunne|first=Claire|publisher=Continuum|year=2002}}</ref> In his memoir, Jung would remark that this parental influence was the "handicap I started off with". Later, these early impressions were revised: "I have trusted men friends and been disappointed by them, and I have mistrusted women and was not disappointed."<ref>''Memories, Dreams, Reflections'', p. 8.</ref> After three years living in Laufen, Paul Jung requested a transfer. In 1879, he was called to Kleinhüningen, next to Basel, where his family lived in a church parsonage.{{sfn|Hoerni|Fischer|Kaufmann|2019|p=233}} The relocation brought Emilie Jung closer to contact with her family and lifted her melancholy.<ref>Bair, p. 25.</ref> When he was 9, Jung's sister Johanna Gertrud (1884–1935) was born. Known in the family as "Trudi", she became a secretary to her brother.<ref name="Wehr"/>{{rp|[https://archive.org/details/jungbiography0000wehr/page/349 349]|url=https://archive.org/details/jungbiography0000wehr/page/349}}

====Memories of childhood====
Jung was a solitary and introverted child. From childhood, he believed that, like his mother,<ref>{{cite web |last=Stepp |first=G |title=Carl Jung: Forever Jung |url=http://www.vision.org/visionmedia/biography-carl-jung/50365.aspx |work=Vision Journal |access-date=19 December 2011}}</ref> he had two personalities—a modern Swiss citizen and a personality more suited to the 18th century.<ref>{{cite book |title=Memories, Dreams     , Reflections |pages=33–34}}</ref> "Personality Number 1", as he termed it, was a typical schoolboy living in the era of the time. "Personality Number 2" was a dignified, authoritative, and influential man from the past. Though Jung was close to both parents, he was disappointed by his father's academic approach to faith.<ref>Wehr records that Paul's chosen career path was to achieve a doctorate in philology. He was an Arabist, but the family money ran out for his studies. Relief came from a family legacy; however, a condition of the will was that it should only be offered to a family member who intended to study theology and become a pastor. Paul Jung, therefore, had his career determined by a will, not his will. See p.20.</ref>
[[File:Jung piccolo.jpg|thumb|upright|Jung as a child, early 1880s]]
Some childhood memories made lifelong impressions on him. As a boy,   he carved a tiny [[mannequin]] into the end of the wooden ruler from his pencil case and placed it inside it. He added a stone, which he had painted into upper and lower halves, and hid the case in the attic. Periodically, he would return to the mannequin, often bringing tiny sheets of paper with messages inscribed on them in his own secret language.<ref name="art-therapy">{{cite book |last=Malchiodi |first=Cathy A. |title=The Art Therapy Sourcebook |page=134 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Vno0XgRuRhcC&pg=PA134 |isbn=978-0-07-146827-5 |year=2006 |publisher=McGraw-Hill Professional}}</ref> He later reflected that this ceremonial act brought him a feeling of inner peace and security. Years later, he discovered similarities between his personal experience and the practices associated with [[totem]]s in [[Indigenous cultures]], such as the collection of soul-stones near [[Arlesheim]] or the ''[[tjurunga]]s'' of Australia. He concluded that his intuitive ceremonial act was an unconscious ritual, which he had practiced in a way that was strikingly similar to those in distant locations which he, as a young boy, knew nothing about.<ref>{{cite book |title=Memories, Dreams, Reflections |pages=22–23}}</ref> His observations about symbols, [[Jungian archetypes|archetypes]], and the [[collective unconscious]] were inspired, in part, by these early experiences combined with his later research.<ref>Wehr, G. p. 144</ref><ref name="Britannica">{{Cite encyclopedia |url=https://www.britannica.com/biography/Carl-Jung |title=Carl Jung {{!}} Biography, Theory, & Facts |encyclopedia=Encyclopædia Britannica |access-date=9 April 2019}}</ref>

At the age of 12, shortly before the end of his first year at the ''Humanistisches [[Gymnasium (school)|Gymnasium]]'' in Basel, Jung was pushed to the ground by another boy so hard he momentarily lost consciousness. (Jung later recognized the incident was indirectly his fault.) A thought then came to him—"Now you won't have to go to school anymore".<ref>{{cite book |title=Memories, Dreams, Reflections |page=30}}</ref> From then on, whenever he walked to school or began homework, he fainted. He remained home for six months until he overheard his father speaking hurriedly to a visitor about the boy's future ability to support himself. They suspected he had [[epilepsy]]. Confronted with his family's poverty, he realized the need for academic excellence. He entered his father's study and began poring over [[Latin grammar]]. He fainted three more times but eventually overcame the urge and did not faint again. This event, Jung later recalled, "was when I learned what a [[neurosis]] is".<ref>{{cite book |title=Memories, Dreams, Reflections |page=32}}</ref>

====University studies and early career====
[[File:11-11-24-basel-by-ralfr-035.jpg|thumb|upright|Old main building of the [[University of Basel]] (foreground), where Jung studied between 1895 and 1900]] 
Initially, Jung had aspirations of becoming a Christian minister. His household had a strong moral sense, and several of his family were clergy. Jung had wanted to study archaeology, but his family could not afford to send him further than the University of Basel, which did not teach it. After studying philosophy in his teens, Jung decided against the path of religious traditionalism and decided to pursue psychiatry and medicine.<ref name="Britannica" /> His interest was captured—it combined the biological and spiritual, exactly what he was searching for.<ref name="jungbio1">{{Cite web|url=http://soultherapynow.com/articles/carl-jung.html|title=Carl Jung Biography|website=soultherapynow.com|access-date=7 March 2009|archive-date=20 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180120004057/http://soultherapynow.com/articles/carl-jung.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 1895 Jung began to study medicine at the University of Basel. Barely a year later, his father, Paul, died and left the family nearly destitute. They were helped by relatives who also contributed to Jung's studies.<ref>Wehr, G. p. 57.</ref> During his student days, he entertained his contemporaries with the family legend that his paternal grandfather was the illegitimate son of [[Goethe]] and his German great-grandmother, [[Sophie Ziegler]]. In later life, he pulled back from this tale, saying only that Sophie was a friend of Goethe's niece.<ref>{{cite book|last=Wehr|first=Gerhard|title=Jung: A Biography|year=1987|publisher=Shambhala|location=Boston/Shaftesbury, Dorset|isbn=978-0-87773-455-0|page=[https://archive.org/details/jungbiography0000wehr/page/14 14]|url=https://archive.org/details/jungbiography0000wehr/page/14}}</ref>

It was during this early period when Jung was an assistant at the Anatomical Institute at Basel University, that he took an interest in palaeoanthropology and the revolutionary discoveries of ''Homo erectus'' and Neanderthal fossils. These formative experiences contributed to his fascination with the evolutionary past of humanity and his belief that an ancient evolutionary layer in the psyche, represented by early fossil hominins, is still evident in the psychology of modern humans.<ref>[https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/mono/10.4324/9781032624549-3/fossils-anthropology-hominin-brain-phylogeny-gary-clark?context=ubx&refId=d9df2e63-7963-4b7f-a154-5382d0b1e05f Clark. G. 2024. "Fossils, Anthropology and Hominin Brain Phylogeny". Chapter 2, pp. 38-40. In ''Carl Jung and the Evolutionary Sciences: A New Vision for Analytical Psychology'', Routledge], Routledge,</ref>

In 1900, Jung moved to Zurich and began working at the [[Burghölzli]] psychiatric hospital under [[Eugen Bleuler]].{{sfn|Hoerni|Fischer|Kaufmann|2019|pp=234, 259}} Bleuler was already in communication with the Austrian neurologist [[Sigmund Freud]]. Jung's [[dissertation]], published in 1903, was titled ''On the Psychology and Pathology of So-Called Occult Phenomena''. It was based on the analysis of the supposed [[mediumship]] of Jung's cousin Hélène Preiswerk, under the influence of Freud's contemporary [[Théodore Flournoy]].<ref>Stevens, Anthony (1994): ''Jung: A very short introduction'', Oxford University Press, Oxford & N.Y. {{ISBN|978-0-19-285458-2}}</ref> Jung studied with [[Pierre Janet]] in Paris in 1902<ref>Gay, p. 198</ref> and later equated his view of the [[Complex (psychology)|complex]] with Janet's {{Lang|fr|idée fixe subconsciente}}.<ref>Ellenberger, p. 149.</ref> In 1905, Jung was appointed as a permanent 'senior' doctor at the hospital and became a lecturer ''[[Privatdozent]]'' in the medical faculty of Zurich University.<ref>Wehr, pp. 79–85.</ref> In 1904, he published with [[Franz Riklin]] their ''Diagnostic Association Studies'', of which Freud obtained a copy.<ref>Jung, Carl Gustav and Riklin, Franz Beda: Diagnoistische Assoziationsstudien.

Eventually, a close friendship and strong professional association developed between the elder [[#Relationship with Freud|Freud and Jung]], which left a sizeable [[Freud-Jung Letters|correspondence]]. In late summer 1909, the two sailed for the U.S., where Freud was the featured lecturer at the twentieth-anniversary celebration of the founding of [[Clark University]] in [[Worcester, Massachusetts]], the Vicennial Conference on Psychology and Pedagogy, 7–11 September. Jung spoke as well and received an honorary degree.<ref>Rosenzweig, Saul. The Historic Expedition to America (1909): Freud, Jung and Hall the King-Maker. N.p., DIANE Publishing Company, 2000.</ref>

It was during this trip that Jung first began separating psychologically from Freud, his mentor, which occurred after intense communications around their individual dreams. It was during this visit that Jung was introduced to the elder philosopher and psychologist [[William James]], known as the "Father of American psychology," whose ideas Jung would incorporate into his own work.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Koelsch |first=William |date=1 January 1984 |title=Incredible day-dream: Freud and Jung at Clark, 1909 |url=https://commons.clarku.edu/clarkuhistory/2 |journal=Clark University History}}</ref> Jung connected with James around their mutual interests in [[mysticism]], [[Spiritualism (movement)|spiritualism]] and [[Psychical investigator|psychical]] [[Phenomenon|phenomena]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Herrmann |first=Steven |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_bZpzgEACAAJ |title=William James and C.G.

Clark University Vicennial Conference on Psychology and Pedagogy. ''Arch Gen Psychiatry.'' 2010;67(3):218-219.</ref> James died about eleven months later.

The ideas of both Jung and James, on topics including hopelessness, self-surrender, and spiritual experiences, were influential in the development and founding of the international altruistic, self-help movement [[Alcoholics Anonymous]] on 10 June 1935, in [[Akron, Ohio]], a quarter of a century after James' death and in Jung's sixtieth year.

For six years, Jung and Freud cooperated in their work. In 1912, however, Jung published ''[[Psychology of the Unconscious]]'', which manifested the developing theoretical divergence between the two. Consequently, their personal and professional relationship fractured—each stating the other could not admit he could be wrong. After the culminating break in 1913, Jung went through a difficult and pivotal psychological transformation, exacerbated by the outbreak of the First World War. [[Henri Ellenberger]] called Jung's intense experience a "creative illness" and compared it favorably to Freud's own period of what he called [[neurasthenia]] and [[hysteria]].<ref name="hayman2001">{{cite book|last=Hayman|first=Ronald|title=A Life of Jung|year=2001|edition=1st American|publisher=W.W.

===Marriage===
[[File:Emma Jung 1911 sitting.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|[[Emma Jung]] in 1911. She assisted her husband in his early research before becoming a psychoanalyst and author.]]
In 1903, Jung married [[Emma Jung|Emma Rauschenbach]] (1882–1955), seven years his junior and the elder daughter of a wealthy industrialist in eastern Switzerland, Johannes Rauschenbach-Schenck.{{sfn|Hoerni|Fischer|Kaufmann|2019|p=234}} Rauschenbach was the owner, among other concerns, of [[IWC Schaffhausen]]—the International Watch Company, manufacturer of luxury time-pieces. Upon his death in 1905, his two daughters and their husbands became owners of the business. Jung's brother-in-law—[[Ernst Homberger]]—became the principal proprietor, but the Jungs remained shareholders in a thriving business that ensured the family's financial security for decades.<ref>

She eventually became a noted psychoanalyst in her own right. The marriage lasted until Emma died in 1955.<ref>Wehr, G. p. 423</ref> He had five children:

===Relationship with Freud===

====Meeting and collaboration====

Jung and Freud influenced each other during the intellectually formative years of Jung's life. Jung became interested in psychiatry as a student by reading ''[[Psychopathia Sexualis]]'' by [[Richard von Krafft-Ebing]]. In 1900, Jung completed his degree and started work as an intern (voluntary doctor) under the psychiatrist [[Eugen Bleuler]] at Burghölzli Hospital.<ref>Wehr, Gerhard. (1987). ''Jung – A Biography''. Boston/Shaftesbury: Shambhala. {{ISBN|978-0-87773-455-0}}. p.&nbsp;77</ref> It was Bleuler who introduced him to the writings of Freud by asking him to write a review of ''[[The Interpretation of Dreams]]'' (1899). In the early 1900s [[psychology]] as a science was still in its early stages, but Jung became a qualified proponent of Freud's new "psycho-analysis". Freud needed collaborators and pupils to validate and spread his ideas. Burghölzli was a renowned psychiatric clinic in Zurich, and Jung's research had already gained him international recognition. Jung sent Freud a copy of his ''Studies in Word Association'' in 1906.<ref>{{Cite journal|date=July 1990|title=William McGuire, Ed.

In 1909, Jung traveled with Freud and Hungarian psychoanalyst [[Sándor Ferenczi]] to the United States; in September, they took part in a conference at [[Clark University]] in [[Worcester, Massachusetts|Worcester]], Massachusetts. The conference at Clark University was planned by the psychologist [[G. Stanley Hall]] and included 27 distinguished psychiatrists, neurologists, and psychologists. It represented a watershed in the acceptance of psychoanalysis in North America. This forged welcome links between Jung and influential Americans.<ref name=king>{{Cite book|last=Rosenzwieg |first=Saul |title=Freud, Jung and Hall the King-Maker |year=1992 |publisher=Rana House Press |isbn=978-0-88937-110-1}}</ref> Jung returned to the United States the next year for a brief visit.

In 1910, Freud proposed Jung, "his adopted eldest son, his crown prince, and successor," for the position of lifetime President of the newly formed [[International Psychoanalytical Association]]. However, after forceful objections from his Viennese colleagues, it was agreed Jung would be elected to serve a two-year term of office.<ref>{{cite book|last=Makari|first=George|title=Revolution in Mind: The Creation of Psychoanalysis|publisher=Duckworth|date=2008|pages=[https://archive.org/details/revolutioninmind0000maka/page/249 249]|isbn=978-0-7156-3759-3|url=https://archive.org/details/revolutioninmind0000maka/page/249}}</ref>

====Divergence and break====
[[File:Jung 1910-crop.jpg|thumb|upright|Jung outside Burghölzli in 1910]]
While Jung worked on his ''Psychology of the Unconscious: a study of the transformations and symbolisms of the libido'', tensions manifested between him and Freud because of various disagreements, including those concerning the nature of [[libido]].<ref>{{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 and focused on the collective unconscious: the part of the unconscious that contains memories and ideas that Jung believed were inherited from ancestors. While he did think that the libido was an important source of personal growth, unlike Freud, Jung did not think that the 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>

In 1912, these tensions came to a peak because Jung felt severely slighted after Freud visited his colleague [[Ludwig Binswanger]] in [[Kreuzlingen]] without paying him a visit in nearby Zurich, an incident Jung referred to as "the Kreuzlingen gesture". Shortly thereafter, Jung again traveled to the US and gave the [[Fordham University]] lectures, a six-week series, which were published later in the year as ''Psychology of the Unconscious'', subsequently republished as ''[[Symbols of Transformation]]''. While they contain remarks on Jung's dissenting view on the libido, they represent largely a "psychoanalytical Jung" and not the theory of analytical psychology, for which he became famous in the following decades. Nonetheless, it was their publication which, Jung declared, "cost me my friendship with Freud".<ref name="Gay 2006 225">{{cite book|last=Gay|first=Peter|author-link=Peter Gay|title= Freud: A Life for Our Time|publisher=Norton| date =2006 | page = 225}}</ref>

Another disagreement with Freud stemmed from their differing concepts of the unconscious.<ref>Mary Williams, "The Indivisibility of the Personal and Collective Unconscious", ''Journal of Analytical Psychology'' 8.1, January 1963. See also: Jung, ''Collected Works'' vol. 9.I (1959), "The Concept of the Collective Unconscious" (1936), ¶91 (p. 43).</ref> Jung saw Freud's theory of the unconscious as incomplete, unnecessarily negative, and inelastic. According to Jung, Freud conceived the unconscious solely as a repository of repressed emotions and desires.<ref name="theguardian">{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/belief/2011/jun/06/carl-jung-freud-nazis|title=Carl Jung, part 2: A troubled relationship with Freud – and the Nazis|last=Vernon|first=Mark|date=6 June 2011|work=The Guardian|access-date=19 July 2017|issn=0261-3077}}</ref> Jung's observations overlap to an extent with Freud's model of the unconscious, what Jung called the "[[personal unconscious]]", but his hypothesis is more about a process than a static model, and he also proposed the existence of a second, overarching form of the unconscious beyond the personal, that he named the psychoid—a term borrowed from neo-vitalist philosopher and embryologist [[Hans Driesch]] (1867–1941)—but with a somewhat altered meaning.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Addison|first=Ann|title=Jung, vitalism and the ''psychoid'': an historical reconstruction|journal=Journal of Analytical Psychology|year=2009|volume=54|issue=1|pages=123–42|doi=10.1111/j.1468-5922.2008.01762.x|pmid=19161521}}</ref> The [[collective unconscious]] is not so much a 'geographical location', but a deduction from the alleged ubiquity of [[Jungian archetypes|archetypes]] over space and time.{{clarify|date=December 2023}}

In November 1912, Jung and Freud met in [[Munich]] for a meeting among prominent colleagues to discuss psychoanalytical journals.<ref>Jones, Ernest, ed. [[Lionel Trilling]] and Steven Marcus. ''The Life and Work of Sigmund Freud'', New York: Anchor Books, 1963.</ref> At a talk about a new psychoanalytic essay on [[Amenhotep IV]], Jung expressed his views on how it related to actual conflicts in the psychoanalytic movement. While Jung spoke, Freud suddenly fainted, and Jung carried him to a couch.<ref name="theguardian" />

Jung and Freud personally met for the last time in September 1913 at the Fourth International Psychoanalytical Congress in Munich. Jung gave a talk on psychological types, the [[introvert]] and [[extravert]]ed types, in [[analytical psychology]].

===Midlife isolation===
It was the publication of Jung's book ''The Psychology of the Unconscious'' in 1912 that led to the final break with Freud. The letters they exchanged show Freud's refusal to consider Jung's ideas. This rejection caused what Jung described in his posthumously published autobiography, ''Memories, Dreams, Reflections'' (1962) as a "resounding censure". Everyone he knew dropped away from him except two of his colleagues. After the Munich congress, he was on the verge of a suicidal psychosis that precipitated his writing of his ''Red Book,'' his seven-volume personal diaries that were only published partially and posthumously in 2009. Eleven years later, in 2020, they were published as his ''Black Books.'' Jung described his 1912 book as "an attempt, only partially successful, to create a wider setting for medical psychology and to bring the whole of the psychic phenomena within its purview". The book was later revised and retitled ''Symbols of Transformation'' in 1952.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Adler |first=Gerhard |url=https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781315727615 |title=Symbols of Transformation |date=5 December 2014 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-315-72761-5 |edition=1 |language=en |doi=10.4324/9781315727615}}</ref>

====London 1913–1914====
Jung spoke at meetings of the Psycho-Medical Society in London in 1913 and 1914. His travels were soon interrupted by the war, but his ideas continued to receive attention in England primarily through the efforts of [[Constance Long]], who translated and published the first English volume of his collected writings.<ref>McGuire, William. (1995), 'Firm Affinities: Jung's relations with Britain and the United States' in ''Journal of analytical Psychology'', '''40''', p. 301-326.</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Jung|first=C.

[[File:The_Red_Book_-_Liber_Novus.jpg|thumb|The Red Book resting on Jung's desk]]
In 1913, at the age of 38, Jung experienced a horrible "confrontation with the unconscious". He saw visions and heard voices. He worried at times that he was "menaced by a psychosis" or was "doing a schizophrenia". He decided that it was a valuable experience and, in private, he induced hallucinations or, in his words, a process of "[[active imagination]]". He recorded everything he experienced in small journals, which Jung referred to in the singular as his ''[[Black Books (Jung)|Black Book]]'',<ref name="blackbooks">{{cite book |last1=Jung |first1=Carl |editor1-last=Shamdasani |editor1-first=Sonu |title=The Black Books of C.G.

Jung left no posthumous instructions about the final disposition of what he called the ''Liber Novus'' or ''Red Book''. [[Sonu Shamdasani]], a historian of psychology from London, tried for three years to persuade Jung's resistant heirs to have it published. Ulrich Hoerni, Jung's grandson who manages the Jung archives, decided to publish it when the necessary additional funds were raised through the [[Philemon Foundation]].<ref name="Corbett"/>  Up to September 2008, fewer than about two dozen people had ever seen it.

In 2007, two technicians for DigitalFusion, working with New York City publishers [[W. W. Norton & Company]], scanned the manuscript with a 10,200-pixel scanner. It was published on 7 October 2009 in German, with a "separate English translation along with Shamdasani's introduction and footnotes" at the back of the book. According to Sara Corbett, reviewing the text for ''[[The New York Times]]'', "The book is bombastic, baroque and like so much else about Carl Jung, a willful oddity, synched with an [[antediluvian]] and mystical reality."<ref name="Corbett"/>

The [[Rubin Museum of Art]] in New York City displayed Jung's ''Red Book'' leather folio, as well as some of his original "Black Book" journals, from 7 October 2009 to 15 February 2010.<ref name="Rubin">{{cite web|url=http://www.rmanyc.org/nav/exhibitions/view/308 |title=The Red Book of C.

===Wartime army service===
During World War I, Jung was drafted as an army doctor and soon made commandant of an internment camp for British officers and soldiers. The Swiss were neutral and obliged to intern personnel from either side of the conflict, who crossed their frontier to evade capture. Jung worked to improve the conditions of soldiers stranded in Switzerland and encouraged them to attend university courses.<ref>{{cite book|last=Crowley|first=Vivianne|title=Jung: A Journey of Transformation|year=1999|publisher=Quest Books|page=[https://archive.org/details/jung00vivi/page/56 56]|isbn=978-0-8356-0782-7|url=https://archive.org/details/jung00vivi/page/56}}</ref>{{sfn|Hoerni|Fischer|Kaufmann|2019|p=260}}

===Travels===
Jung emerged from his period of isolation in the late 1910s with the publication of several journal articles, followed in 1921 with ''[[Psychological Types]]'', one of his most influential books. There followed a decade of active publication, interspersed with overseas travels.

====England (1920, 1923, 1925, 1935, 1938, 1946)====
Constance Long arranged for Jung to deliver a seminar in [[Cornwall]] in 1920. Another seminar was held in 1923, this one organized by Jung's British protégé [[Helton Godwin Baynes]] (known as "Peter") (1882–1943), and another in 1925.<ref name="McGuire"/>

[[File:Beatrice Ensor Jung Montreux 1923.jpg|thumb|upright|[[Beatrice Ensor]] and Jung in Montreux, Switzerland, 1923, for the Second International [[New Education Movement|New Education Fellowship]] Conference]]
In 1935, at the invitation of his close British friends and colleagues, [[Helton Godwin Baynes|H. G. Baynes]], [[Edward Armstrong Bennet|E. A. Bennet]] and [[Hugh Crichton-Miller]], Jung gave a series of lectures at the [[Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust|Tavistock Clinic]] in London, later published as part of the ''Collected Works''.<ref>{{cite book|last=Jung |first=C.G. |title=Tavistock Lectures, in The Symbolic Life|series= Collected Works, vol.18 |date=1977 |location = London | publisher = Routledge<!-- | year =1935 -->|pages=1–182|isbn=978-0-7100-8291-6}}</ref>

In 1946, Jung agreed to become the first Honorary President of the newly formed [[Society of Analytical Psychology]] in London, having previously approved its training programme devised by [[Michael Fordham]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Kirsch|first=Thomas B.|author-link=Thomas B.

====East Africa====
In October 1925, Jung embarked on his most ambitious expedition, the "Bugishu Psychological Expedition" to East Africa. He was accompanied by his English friend, [[Helton Godwin Baynes|"Peter" Baynes]], and an American associate, [[George Beckwith (Carl Jung associate)|George Beckwith]]. On the voyage to Africa, they became acquainted with an English woman named Ruth Bailey, who joined their safari a few weeks later. The group traveled through Kenya and Uganda to the slopes of [[Mount Elgon]], where Jung hoped to increase his understanding of "primitive psychology" through conversations with the culturally isolated residents of that area. Later, he concluded that the major insights he had gleaned had to do with himself and the European psychology in which he had been raised.<ref>{{cite book|title=Race and White Identity in Southern Fiction: From Faulkner to Morrison|url=https://archive.org/details/racewhiteidentit00duva|url-access=limited|page=[https://archive.org/details/racewhiteidentit00duva/page/n185 165]|year=2008|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|first=John N.|last=Duvall|isbn=978-0-230-61182-5}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Burleson|first=Blake W.|title=Jung in Africa|year=2005|publisher=Bloomsbury Academic |isbn=978-0-8264-6921-2}}</ref>  One of Jung's most famous proposed constructs is kinship libido. Jung defined this as an instinctive feeling of belonging to a particular group or family and believed it was vital to the human experience and used this as an endogamous aspect of the libido and what lies amongst the family. This is similar to a Bantu term called [[Ubuntu philosophy|Ubuntu]] that emphasizes humanity and almost the same meaning as kinship libido, which is, "I am because you are."<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Vaughan |first1=A.G |title=African American cultural history and reflections on Jung in the African Diaspora |journal=Journal of Analytical Psychology |date=2019 |volume=64 |issue=3 |pages=320–348 |doi=10.1111/1468-5922.12501|pmid=31070251 |s2cid=148570214 }}</ref>

====India====
[[File:ETH-BIB-Jung, Carl Gustav (1875-1961)-Portrait-Portr 14163 (cropped).tif|thumb|upright|Jung in about 1935]]
In December 1937, Jung left Zurich again for an extensive tour of India with Fowler McCormick. In India, he felt himself "under the direct influence of a foreign culture" for the first time. In Africa, his conversations had been strictly limited by the language barrier, but he could converse extensively in India. [[Hindu philosophy]] became an important element in his understanding of the role of symbolism and the life of the unconscious, though he avoided a meeting with [[Ramana Maharshi]]. He described Ramana as being absorbed in "the self". During these travels, he visited the [[Vedagiriswarar Temple]], where he had a conversation with a local expert about the symbols and sculptures on the [[gopuram]] of this temple. He later wrote about this conversation<ref>"When I visited the ancient pagoda at Turukalukundram [''sic''], southern India, a local pundit explained to me that the old temples were purposely covered on the outside, from top to bottom, with obscene sculptures, to remind ordinary people of their sexuality. The spirit, he said, was a great danger because ''Yama'', the god of death, would instantly carry off these people (the "imperfecti") if they trod the spiritual path directly, without preparation. The erotic sculptures were meant to remind them of their ''dharma'' (law), which bids them fulfil their ordinary lives. Only when they have fulfilled their dharma can they tread the spiritual path. The obscenities were intended to arouse the erotic curiosity of visitors to the temples so that they should not forget their dharma; otherwise, they would not fulfil it. Only the man who was qualified by his ''karma'' (the fate earned through works in previous existences) and who was destined for the life of the spirit could ignore this injunction with impunity, for to him, these obscenities mean nothing. That was also why the two seductresses stood at the temple entrance, luring the people to fulfill their dharma, because only in this way could the ordinary man attain higher spiritual development. And since the temple represented the whole world, all human activities were portrayed. Because most people are always thinking of sex anyway, the great majority of the temple sculptures were of an erotic nature. For this reason, too, he said, the ''lingam'' (phallus) stands in the sacred cavity of the ''adyton'' (Holy of Holies), in the ''garbha griha'' (house of the womb). This pundit was a Tantrist (scholastic; tantra = 'book')." -- C. G.

Jung became a full professor of medical psychology at the University of Basel in 1943 but resigned after a heart attack the next year to lead a more private life. In 1945, he began corresponding with an English [[Roman Catholic]] priest, Father [[Victor White (priest)|Victor White]], who became a close friend, regularly visiting the Jungs at the Bollingen estate.<ref name="Wells-2008" /> Jung became ill again in 1952.{{sfn|Hoerni|Fischer|Kaufmann|2019|p=262}}

==Thought==
[[File:Jung Family.jpg|thumb|Jung's family, {{circa|1895}}: l to r. father Paul, sister Gertrud, mother Emilie and Carl]]
Jung's thought derived from the classical education he received at school and from early family influences, which on the maternal side were a combination of [[Calvinism|Reformed Protestant]] academic theology with an interest in occult phenomena. On his father's side was a dedication to academic discipline emanating from his grandfather, the physician, scientist, and first Basel Professor of Medicine, [[Karl Gustav Jung]], a one-time student activist and convert from Catholicism to Swiss Reformed Protestantism. Family lore suggested there was at least a social connection to the German [[polymath]], [[Johann Wolfgang Goethe]], through the latter's niece, Lotte Kestner, known as "Lottchen", who was a frequent visitor in Jung senior's household.<ref>Wehr, Gerhard. [https://archive.org/details/jungbiography0000wehr/page/14/ p. 14]. "Sophie Ziegler Jung was later friendly with Lotte Kestner, a niece of Goethe's 'Lottchen'. This Lotte frequently came to see my grandfather—as, incidentally, did Franz Liszt. In later years Lotte Kestner settled in Basel, no doubt because of these close ties with the Jung family."</ref>

Carl Jung, the practicing clinician, writer, and founder of analytical psychology, had, through his marriage, the economic security to pursue interests in other intellectual topics of the moment. His early celebrity as a research scientist through the Word Association Test led to the start of prolific correspondence and worldwide travel. It opened academic as well as social avenues, supported by his explorations into [[anthropology]], [[quantum physics]], [[vitalism]], [[Eastern philosophy|Eastern]] and [[Western philosophy]]. He delved into [[epistemology]], [[alchemy]], [[astrology]], and sociology, as well as literature and the arts. Jung's interest in philosophy and spiritual subjects led many to label him a mystic, although he preferred to be seen as a man of science. Jung, unlike Freud, was deeply knowledgeable about philosophical concepts and sought links between epistemology and emergent theories of psychology.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://mlwi.magix.net/jungmetaphysic.htm|title=Jung's metaphysic and epistemology: Platonism or Phenomenology?|website=mlwi.magix.net}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Lachman|first=Gary|title=Jung the Mystic|year=2010|publisher=Tarcher/Penguin|location=New York|isbn=978-1-58542-792-5|page=258}}</ref>

===Key concepts===
[[File:C. G. Jung institute.jpg|right|thumb|C. G. Jung Institute, [[Küsnacht]], Switzerland]]
Within the field of [[analytical psychology]], a brief survey of major concepts developed by Jung includes (alphabetical):<ref>Anthony Stevens (1991) ''On Jung'' London: Penguin Books, pp. 27–53</ref>

* '''[[Anima and animus]]'''—(archetype) the contrasexual aspect of a person's psyche. In a woman's psyche, her inner personal masculine is conceived as a complex and an archetypal image; in a man's psyche, his inner personal feminine is conceived both as a complex and an archetypal image.
* '''[[Jungian archetypes|Archetype]]'''—a concept "borrowed" from [[anthropology]] to denote supposedly universal and recurring mental images or themes. Jung's descriptions of archetypes varied over time.
* '''[[Jungian archetypes|Archetypal images]]'''—universal symbols that mediate opposites in the psyche, often found in religious art, mythology, and fairy tales across cultures.
* '''[[Collective unconscious]]'''—aspects of unconsciousness experienced by all people in different cultures.
* '''[[Complex (psychology)|Complex]]'''—the repressed organisation of images and experiences that governs perception and behaviour.
* '''[[Extraversion and introversion]]'''—personality traits of degrees of openness or reserve contributing to [[psychological type]].<ref>Dicks-Mireaux, M. J. (1964). "Extraversion-Introversion in Experimental Psychology: Examples of Experimental Evidence and their Theoretical Explanations", ''Journal of Analytical Psychology'', 9, 2.</ref>
* '''[[Individuation]]'''—the process of fulfilment of each individual "which negates neither the conscious {{sic|or}} unconscious position but does justice to them both".<ref>Anthony Stevens (1991) ''On Jung'' London: Penguin Books, p. 199.</ref>
* '''[[Interpersonal relationship]]'''—the way people relate to others reflects how they relate to themselves. This may also be extended to relations with the natural environment.
* '''[[Numinous]]—'''a healing, transformative or destructive spiritual power. Also, an invisible power inherent in an object. Jung develops the concept from the work of [[Rudolf Otto]], who based it on the Latin ''[[numen]]'''.'''''
* '''[[Persona (psychology)|Persona]]'''—element of the personality that arises "for reasons of adaptation or personal convenience"—the "masks" one puts on in various situations.<ref name="journalpsyche.org">{{Cite web|url=http://journalpsyche.org/jungian-model-psyche/|title=The Jungian Model of the Psyche|website=journalpsyche.org|access-date=11 January 2020}}</ref>
* '''[[Psychological Types|Psychological types]]'''—a framework for consciously orienting psychotherapists to patients by raising particular modes of personality to consciousness and differentiation between analyst and patient.
* '''[[Shadow (psychology)|Shadow]]'''—(archetype) the repressed, therefore unknown, aspects of the personality, including those often considered to be negative.
* '''[[Self in Jungian psychology|Self]]'''—(archetype) the central overarching concept governing the individuation process, as symbolised by mandalas, the union of male and female, totality, and unity. Jung viewed it as the psyche's central archetype.
* '''[[Synchronicity]]'''—an acausal principle as a basis for the apparently random concurrence of phenomena.<ref>Bright, George. (1997) "Synchronicity as a basis of analytic attitude", ''Journal of Analytical Psychology'', 42, 4</ref>

===Collective unconscious===
{{main|Collective unconscious}}
Since the establishment of [[psychoanalytic theory]], the notion and meaning of individuals having a [[personal unconscious|''personal'' unconscious]] has gradually come to be commonly accepted.  This was popularised by both Freud and Jung.  Whereas an individual's personal unconscious is made up of thoughts and emotions that have, at some time, been experienced or held in mind but which have been repressed or forgotten, in contrast, the ''collective'' unconscious is neither acquired by activities within an individual's life nor a container of things that are thoughts, memories or ideas which are capable of being conscious during one's life. The contents of it were never naturally "known" through physical or cognitive experience and then forgotten.

The collective unconscious consists of universal heritable elements common to all humans, distinct from other species.<ref>{{cite book |last=Jung |first=Carl |title=''The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious'', Collected Works, Volume 9, Part 1  |chapter=''Psychological Aspects of the Mother Archetype'' <!-- |year=1959 --> |date=1969 |publisher=Princeton University Press |isbn=978-0-691-01833-1 |at=para. 152 }}</ref> However, this does not necessarily imply a genetic cause. It encapsulates fields of evolutionary biology, history of civilization, ethnology, brain and nervous system development, and general psychological development.<ref name="CW9_1__90_92_118">{{cite book |last=Jung |first=Carl |title=''The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious'', Collected Works, Volume 9, Part 1 <!-- |year=1959 --> |date=1969 |publisher=Princeton University Press |isbn=978-0-691-01833-1 |at=para. 90-92,118 }}</ref> Considering its composition in practical physiological and psychological terms, "it consists of pre-existent forms, the archetypes, which can only become conscious secondarily and which give definite form to certain psychic contents."<ref name="CW9_1__90_92_118" />  Jung writes about causal factors in personal psychology as stemming from, influenced by an abstraction of the impersonal physical layer, the common and universal physiology among all humans.<ref>{{cite book |last=Jung |first=Carl |title=''The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious'', Collected Works, Volume 9, Part 1 <!-- |year=1959 --> |date=1969 |publisher=Princeton University Press |isbn=978-0-691-01833-1 |at=para. 91 }}</ref> Jung considers that science would hardly deny the existence and basic nature of "instincts", existing as a whole set of motivating urges. The collective unconscious acts as the frame where science can distinguish individual motivating urges, thought to be universal across all individuals of the human species, while instincts are present in all species. Jung contends, "The hypothesis of the collective unconscious is, therefore, no more daring than to assume there are instincts."<ref name="CW9_1__90_92_118" />

The archetype is a concept "borrowed" from [[anthropology]] to denote a process of nature.  Jung's definitions of archetypes varied over time and have been the subject of debate regarding their usefulness. [[Jungian archetypes|Archetypal images]], also referred to as [[Motif-Index of Folk-Literature|motifs in mythology]],{{Efn|Also see other [[Motif (disambiguation)#General concepts|general concepts of 'motif']] covering visual arts, narrative, et cetera.}} are universal symbols that can mediate opposites in the psyche, are often found in religious art, mythology and fairy tales across cultures. Jung saw archetypes as pre-configurations in nature that give rise to repeating, understandable, describable experiences. In addition, the concept considers the passage of time and patterns resulting from transformation.<ref>{{cite book |last=Jung |first=Carl |title=''The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious'', Collected Works, Volume 9, Part 1 <!-- |year=1959 --> |date=1969 |publisher=Princeton University Press |isbn=978-0-691-01833-1 |at=para. 80-81 }}</ref> Archetypes are said to exist independently of any current event or its effect. They are said to exert influence both across all domains of experience and throughout the stages of each individual's unique development. Being in part based on heritable physiology, they are thought to have "existed" since humans became a differentiated species. They have been deduced through the development of storytelling over tens of thousands of years, indicating repeating patterns of individual and group experience, behaviors, and effects across the planet, apparently displaying common themes.<ref name="CW9_1__90_92_118" />

The concept did not originate with Jung but with [[Plato]], who first conceived of primordial patterns. Later contributions came from [[Adolf Bastian]] and [[Hermann Usener]], among others.<ref>{{cite book |last=Jung |first=Carl |title=''The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious'', Collected Works, Volume 9, Part 1 <!-- |year=1959 --> |publisher=Princeton University Press |isbn=978-0-691-01833-1 |at=para. 153 }}</ref> In the first half of the twentieth century, it proved impossible to objectively isolate and categorize the notion of an archetype within a materialist frame.  According to Jung, there are "as many archetypes as there are typical situations in life",<ref>{{cite book |last=Jung |first=Carl |title=''The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious'', Collected Works, Volume 9, Part 1 <!-- |year=1959 --> |publisher=Princeton University Press |isbn=978-0-691-01833-1 |at=para. 99 }}</ref> and he asserted that they have a dynamic mutual influence on one another. Their alleged presence could be extracted from thousand-year-old narratives, from comparative religion, and from mythology.<ref>{{cite book |last=Jung |first=Carl |title=''The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious'', Collected Works, Volume 9, Part 1 <!-- |year=1959 --> |publisher=Princeton University Press |isbn=978-0-691-01833-1 |at=para. 89,110,115 }}</ref> Jung elaborated on many archetypes in "''The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious''" and in "''Aion: Researches into the Phenomenology of the Self''". Examples of archetypes might be the shadow, the hero, the self, anima, animus, mother, father, child, and trickster.

==== Shadow ====
{{See also|shadow (psychology)}}
The ''shadow'' exists as part of the unconscious mind and is composed of the traits individuals instinctively or consciously resist identifying as their own and would rather ignore, typically repressed ideas, weaknesses, desires, instincts, and shortcomings. Much of the shadow comes as a result of an individual's adaptation to cultural norms and expectations.<ref name="journalpsyche.org" /> Thus, this archetype not only consists of all the things deemed unacceptable by society but also those things that are not aligned with one's own personal morals and values.

Jung argues that the ''shadow'' plays a distinctive role in balancing one's overall psyche, the counter-balancing to consciousness—"where there is light, there must also be shadow". Without a well-developed ''shadow'' (often "shadow work", "integrating one's shadow"), an individual can become shallow and extremely preoccupied with the opinions of others; that is, a walking [[Persona (psychology)|''persona'']].<ref name="journalpsyche.org" /> Not wanting to look at their shadows directly, Jung argues, often results in [[psychological projection]].  Individuals project imagined attitudes onto others without awareness.  The qualities an individual may hate (or love) in another may manifest in those who do not see the external, material truth.<ref name="journalpsyche.org" /> In order to truly grow as an individual, Jung believed that both the [[Persona (psychology)|''persona'']] and ''[[Shadow (psychology)|shadow]]'' should be balanced.<ref name="journalpsyche.org" />

The shadow can often appear as a dark, wild, exotic figure in dreams or visions.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://psychotreat.com/what-is-jungian-psychology/ | title=What is Jungian Psychology? – Types, Archetypes, Complexes and More |website=PsychoTreat | date=27 August 2021 }}</ref>

===Extraversion and introversion===
{{main|Extraversion and introversion}}
{{see also-text|[[Apollonian and Dionysian]]}}
Jung was one of the first to define introversion and extraversion in a psychological context. In Jung's ''Psychological Types'', he theorizes that each person falls into one of two categories:  the introvert or the extravert. Jung compares these two psychological types to ancient archetypes, [[Apollo]] and [[Dionysus]]. The introvert is likened to Apollo, who shines a light on understanding. The introvert is focused on the internal world of reflection, dreaming, and vision. Thoughtful and insightful, the introvert can sometimes be uninterested in joining the activities of others. The extravert is associated with Dionysus, interested in joining the activities of the world. The extravert is focused on the outside world of objects, sensory perception, and action. Energetic and lively, the extravert may lose their sense of self in the intoxication of Dionysian pursuits.<ref>{{cite book|title=Psychological Types|last=Jung|first=Carl|publisher=Princeton University Press, 1971|pages=136–147}}</ref> Jungian introversion and extraversion is quite different from the modern idea of introversion and extraversion.<ref>{{cite web|last=Stepp|first=G|title=People: Who Needs Them|url=http://www.vision.org/visionmedia/social-relationships-introvert-vs-extrovert/50363.aspx|work=Vision Journal|access-date=19 December 2011}}</ref> Modern theories often stay true to behaviourist means of describing such a trait (sociability, talkativeness, assertiveness, etc.), whereas Jungian introversion and extraversion are expressed as a perspective: introverts interpret the world ''subjectively'', whereas extraverts interpret the world ''objectively''.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.celebritytypes.com/blog/2014/04/5-basic-facts-about-jung-and-types/ | title=5 Basic Facts about Jung and Types | work=CelebrityTypes | publisher=CelebrityTypes International | date=19 April 2014 | access-date=9 June 2015 | last=Arild |first=Sigurd | page=1}}</ref>

===Persona===
{{see also|Persona (psychology)}}
In his psychological theory—which is not necessarily linked to a particular theory of [[social structure]]—the ''persona'' appears as a consciously created personality or identity, fashioned out of part of the collective psyche through [[socialization]], [[acculturation]] and experience.<ref>Jolande Székács Jacobi, ''Masks of the Soul''. William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1977; Robert H. Hopcke, ''Persona''. Berkeley: Shambhala Publications, 1995.</ref> Jung applied the term ''[[persona]]'' explicitly because, in Latin, it means both ''personality'' and the ''masks'' worn by Roman actors of the [[Classical antiquity|classical period]], expressive of the individual roles played.

The ''persona'', he argues, is a mask for the "collective psyche", a mask that 'pretends' individuality so that both self and others believe in that identity, even if it is really no more than a well-played ''role'' through which the collective psyche is expressed. Jung regarded the "persona-mask" as a complicated system that ''mediates'' between individual consciousness and the social community: it is "a compromise between the individual and society as to what a man should appear to be".<ref>Carl Jung", The Relations between the Ego and the Unconscious", in: [[Joseph Campbell]] (ed.), ''The Portable Jung''. New York: Viking Press, 1971, p. 106.</ref> But he also makes it quite explicit that it is, in substance, a ''character mask'' in the classical sense known to theatre, with its double function: both intended to make a certain impression on others and to hide (part of) the true nature of the individual.<ref>Carl Jung, ''Two Essays on Analytical Psychology''. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2nd ed. 1977, p. 157.</ref> The therapist then aims to assist the [[individuation]] process through which the client (re)gains their "own self"—by liberating the self, both from the deceptive cover of the ''persona'' and from the power of unconscious impulses.

Jung has influenced management theory because managers and executives create an appropriate "management persona" (a corporate mask) and a persuasive identity,<ref>Joann S. Lublin, "How to Look and Act Like a Leader", ''The Wall Street Journal'', 12 September 2011.</ref> and they have to evaluate ''what sort of people'' the workers are, to manage them (for example, using [[personality test]]s and [[peer review]]s).<ref>[[Kees van der Pijl]], "May 1968 and the Alternative Globalist Movement – Cadre Class Formation and the Transition to Socialism". In: Angelika Ebbinghaus et al. (ed.), ''1968: A View of the Protest Movements 40 Years after, from a Global Perspective. 43rd {{ill|International Conference of Labour and Social History|de}} 2008.'' Vienna: Akademische Verlagsanstalt, 2009, pp. 192, 193, 194.</ref>

===Evolutionary thought===

Of his early years, Jung would write that "mentally my greatest adventure had been the study of Kant and Schopenhauer. The great news of the day was the work of
Charles Darwin."<ref>Jung, C.G. 2014b. Collected Works of C.G. Jung, Volume 18: The Symbolic Life: Miscellaneous Writings (Princeton University Press), p. 213</ref> While Jung’s conception of human psychology is grounded in Darwinian evolutionary theory, it is important to note that his evolutionary thought had a distinctively German quality to it. This is because the idiosyncratic reception of Darwin in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Germany resulted in the integration of Darwin's ideas with German embryological and developmental traditions formulated by the [[Naturphilosophie|Naturphilosophen]] and theorists such as [[Ernst Haeckel]]. These traditions formed the intellectual background of Jung’s evolutionary thought.<ref>Clark, G. 2023. "Rethinking Jung’s Reception of Kant and the Naturphilosophen: Archetypes,
Evolutionary Developmental Biology and the Future of Analytical Psychology", ''International Journal of Jungian Studies'', 1: 1–31.</ref>

The result was that Jung's evolutionary conception of mind focused on embryology and development. From this perspective, the emergence of consciousness both in ontogeny (development) and phylogeny (evolution) was built upon much more archaic, affect-based subcortical brain systems. This developmental approach to evolution underpinned his "archaeological" conception of the human psyche, consisting of different evolutionary layers, from the deeply archaic to the more evolutionarily recent. Those more archaic structures in the brain, Jung believed to be the basis of the "collective unconscious"—an aspect of human psychology shared by all members of the species ''Homo sapiens''.<ref>Clark. G. 2024. "Fossils, Anthropology and Hominin Brain Phylogeny". Chapter 2, pp. 38-40. In Carl Jung and the Evolutionary Sciences: A New Vision for Analytical Psychology, Routledge</ref>

In commenting on humanity's evolution from an ancient primate ancestor, Jung wrote: "We keep forgetting that we are primates and that we have to make allowances for these primitive layers in our psyche."<ref>Jung, C.G. 2020. C.G. Jung Speaking: Interviews and Encounters (Princeton University
Press).</ref> Jung also developed the notion of different evolutionary layers in the psyche in his discussion of fossil hominins such as ''Pithecanthropus'' (''Homo erectus''). As he writes:

For just as a man has a body that is no different in principle from that of an animal, so also his psychology has a whole series of lower {{sic|storeys}} in which the spectres from humanity’s past epochs still dwell, then the animal souls from the age of Pithecanthropus and the hominids, then the "psyche" of the cold-blooded saurian.<ref>Jung, C.G. 1970. Mysterium Coniunctionis: An Inquiry into the Separation and Synthesis of
Psychic Opposites in Alchemy (Princeton University Press), .pp 212-3</ref>

Jung’s notion of different evolutionary layers in the human mind has been compared with the work of neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp, particularly as outlined in his book ''The Archaeology of Mind: Neuroevolutionary Origins of Human Emotions''.<ref name="taylorfrancis.com"/> Of these affinities it has been suggested that ‘Jung and Panksepp have, independently it seems, developed similar metaphors of an archeologically layered psyche in which jewels and treasures are discoverable in the deepest phylogenetically ancient regions of the brain – for Jung they are archetypal structures for Panksepp cross-species homologies.' <ref name="taylorfrancis.com"/>

Significantly, in a 2017 article entitled "The Affective Core of the Self: A Neuro-Archetypical Perspective
on the Foundations of Human (and Animal) Subjectivity", when noting Jung’s belief that archetypes may be related to evolutionarily ancient subcortical brain systems, [[Jaak Panksepp|Panksepp]] and colleagues wrote that "such assertions by Jung were not only quite farsighted, but they actually open ways to connect his theory of the psyche with the most advanced scientific theories and discoveries of our day."

===Spirituality===

Based on his study of [[Christianity]], [[Hinduism]], [[Buddhism]], [[Gnosticism]], [[Taoism]], and other traditions, Jung believed this journey of transformation, which he called [[individuation]], is at the mystical heart of all religions. It is a journey to meet the [[self]] and at the same time to meet the [[Divinity|Divine]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Frick|first1=Eckhard|last2=Lautenschlager|first2=Bruno|title=Auf Unendliches bezogen – Spirituelle Entdeckungen bei C.

After working with the patient for some time and achieving no significant progress, Jung told the man that his alcoholic condition was near hopeless, save only the possibility of a spiritual experience. Jung noted that, occasionally, such experiences had been known to reform alcoholics when all other options had failed. Hazard took Jung's advice seriously and sought a personal, spiritual experience. He returned to the United States and joined a Christian [[Evangelicalism|evangelical]] movement known as the [[Oxford Group]]. He told other alcoholics what Jung had told him about the importance of a spiritual experience. One of the alcoholics he brought into the Oxford Group was [[Ebby Thacher]], a long-time friend and drinking buddy of [[William Griffith Wilson]], later co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. Thacher told Wilson about the Oxford Group, and through them, Wilson became aware of Hazard's experience with Jung. The influence of Jung thus indirectly found its way into the formation of Alcoholics Anonymous, the original [[twelve-step program]].

The above claims are documented in the letters of Jung and Wilson.<ref>Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc. (1984) ''Pass It On: The Story of Bill Wilson and How the A.A. Message Reached the World.'' New York: Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc. {{ISBN|978-0-916856-12-0}}, page. 381–386.</ref> Although some historians dispute the detail, Jung discussed an Oxford Group member, who may have been the same person, in talks around 1940. The remarks were distributed privately in transcript form, from shorthand taken by an attender (Jung reportedly approved the transcript), and later recorded in his ''Collected Works'', "For instance, when a member of the Oxford Group comes to me in order to get treatment, I say, 'You are in the Oxford Group; so long as you are there, you settle your affair with the Oxford Group. I can't do it better than Jesus.{{'"}}<ref>Jung, C. G.; [[Gerhard Adler|Adler, G.]] and Hull, R. F. C., eds. (1977), ''Collected Works of C. G.

=== Inquiries into the paranormal ===

Jung had an apparent interest in the paranormal and occult. For decades, he attended [[seance]]s and claimed to have witnessed "parapsychic phenomena". Initially, he attributed these to psychological causes, even delivering a 1919 lecture in England for the Society for Psychical Research on "The Psychological Foundations for the belief in spirits".<ref name="Jung1997">{{cite book|last=Jung|first=Carl|title=Jung on Synchronicity and the Paranormal|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=usrGSaO7QosC|year=1997|publisher=Psychology Press|page=6|isbn=978-0-415-15509-0}}</ref> However, he began to "doubt whether an exclusively psychological approach can do justice to the phenomena in question"<ref name="Jung1997"/> and stated that "the spirit hypothesis yields better results".<ref name="Carl Gustav Jung 1997 7">{{cite book|last=Jung|first=Carl|title=Jung on Synchronicity and the Paranormal|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=usrGSaO7QosC|year=1997|publisher=Psychology Press|page=7|isbn=978-0-415-15509-0}}</ref>. Still, he retained some skepticism toward his own postulation, as he could not find material evidence of the existence of spirits.<ref name="Carl Gustav Jung 1997 7"/>

Jung's ideas about the paranormal culminated in "[[synchronicity]]".<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Nickell |first1=Joe |author-link=Joe Nickell |title="Visitations": After-Death Contacts |journal=Skeptical Inquirer |date=September 2002 |volume=12 |issue=3 |url=https://www.csicop.org/sb/show/visitations_after-death_contacts |access-date=8 August 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180808203007/https://www.csicop.org/sb/show/visitations_after-death_contacts |archive-date=8 August 2018}}</ref>  This is the idea that certain coincidences manifest in the world, have exceptionally intense meaning to observers.  Such coincidences have a great effect on the observer from multiple cumulative aspects: from the immediate personal relevance of the coincidence to the observer, from the peculiarities of (the nature of, the character, novelty, curiosity of) any such coincidence; from the sheer improbability of the coincidence, having no apparent causal link (hence Jung's essay subtitle "An Acausal Connecting Principle").  Despite his own experiments failing to confirm the phenomenon<ref>{{cite book|last1=Shermer|first1=Michael|last2=Linse|first2=Pat|title=The Skeptic Encyclopedia of Pseudoscience|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Gr4snwg7iaEC&pg=PA241|year=2002|publisher=ABC-CLIO|pages=240–241|isbn=978-1-57607-653-8}}</ref> he held on to the idea as an explanation for apparent [[Extrasensory perception|ESP]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Jung|first=Carl|title=Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=x-Rxhf2gUa8C&pg=PA27|date=15 April 2013|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-134-96845-9|page=27}}</ref> In addition, he proposed it as a functional explanation for how the [[I-Ching]] worked. However, he was never clear about how synchronicity worked.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Sullivan |first1=Charles |title=Whats Wrong with the I Ching?

===Interpretation of quantum mechanics===
Jung influenced one philosophical interpretation (not the science) of quantum physics with the concept of [[synchronicity]] regarding some events as [[causality|non-causal]]. That idea influenced the physicist [[Wolfgang Pauli]] (with whom, via a letter correspondence, Jung developed the notion of ''[[unus mundus]]'' in connection with the idea of nonlocality) and some other [[Quantum physics|physicists]].<ref>Jung, C. G. and [[Wolfgang Pauli]], ''The Interpretation of Nature and Psyche'', New York: Pantheon Books, 1955.</ref>

===Alchemy===
[[File:Michael Maier Atalanta Fugiens Emblem 21.jpeg|thumb|The mythic alchemical philosopher's stone as pictured in ''[[Atalanta Fugiens]]'' Emblem 21]]
Jung's acquaintance with alchemy came between 1928 and 1930 when he was introduced to a manuscript of ''[[The Secret of the Golden Flower]]'', translated by [[Richard Wilhelm (sinologist)|Richard Wilhelm]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Jung |first1=Carl |editor1-last=Shamdasani |editor1-first=Sonu |title=The Red Book |date=2012 |publisher=W. W. Norton & Company |page=555 |edition=Reader |chapter=Epilogue}}</ref>  The work and writings of Jung from the 1930s onwards shifted to a focus on the [[Alchemy#Psychology|psychological significance of alchemy]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Jung |first1=Carl |editor1-last=Hull |editor1-first=R.F.C. |title=Psychology and Alchemy |date=1952 |publisher=Princeton University Press |edition=1968 Second Edition completely revised |chapter=From Editorial Note to the First Edition}}</ref>

In 1944, Jung published ''[[Psychology and Alchemy]]'', in which he analyzed the alchemical symbols and came to the conclusion that there is a direct relationship between them and the psychoanalytical process.{{refn|group=lower-alpha|'For Jung, alchemy is not only part of the pre-history of chemistry, that is, not only laboratory work, but also an essential part of the history of psychology as the history of the discovery of the deep structure of the psyche and its unconscious. Jung emphasized the significance of the symbolic structure of alchemical texts, a structure that is understood as a way independent of laboratory research, as a structure per se.' {{cite book|last=Calian|first=George Florin|title=Alkimia Operativa and Alkimia Speculativa. Some Modern Controversies on the Historiography of Alchemy|url=https://archive.org/stream/AlkimiaOperativaAndAlkimiaSpeculativa.SomeModernControversiesOnThe/FlorinGeorgeCalian-AlkimiaOperativaAndAlkimiaSpeculativa.SomeModernControversiesOnTheHistoriographyOfAlchemy#page/n0/mode/2up|publisher=Annual of Medieval Studies at CEU|location=Budapest|year=2010|pages=167–168}}}} He argued that the alchemical process was the transformation of the impure soul (lead) to perfected soul (gold), and a metaphor for the individuation process.<ref name="jungbio1"/>

In 1963, ''[[Mysterium Coniunctionis]]'' first appeared in English as part of ''[[The Collected Works of C. G. Jung]]''. ''Mysterium Coniunctionis'' was Jung's last major book and focused on the "''Mysterium Coniunctionis''" archetype, known as the [[sacred marriage]] between the sun and moon. Jung argued that the stages of the alchemists, the blackening, the whitening, the reddening, and the yellowing, could be taken as symbolic of individuation—his chosen term for personal growth (75).<ref>{{Cite thesis |last=Wagner |first=Christopher Franklin |date=15 May 2019 |title=Of Books and Fire: Approaching the Alchemy of Carl Gustav Jung |url=https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/290574 |language=en |doi=10.17863/CAM.37801}}</ref>

===Art therapy===
{{further|Art therapy}}
Jung proposed that art can be used to alleviate or contain feelings of trauma, fear, or anxiety and also to repair, restore, and heal.<ref name="art-therapy"/> In his work with patients and his own personal explorations, Jung wrote that art expression and images found in dreams could help recover from trauma and emotional distress. At times of emotional distress, he often drew, painted, or made objects and constructions, which he recognized as more than recreational.<ref name="art-therapy"/>

=== Dance/movement therapy ===
[[Dance therapy|Dance and movement therapy]], as a form of active imagination, was developed by Jung and [[Toni Wolff]] in 1916<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.routledge.com/Dance-Therapy-and-Depth-Psychology-The-Moving-Imagination/Chodorow/p/book/9780415041133|title=Dance Therapy and Depth Psychology: The Moving Imagination – Routledge|last=Chodorow|first=Joan|year=1991|access-date=23 November 2017}}</ref> and practiced by [[Tina Keller-Jenny]] and other analysts. It remained largely unknown until the 1950s when it was rediscovered by [[Marian Chace]] and therapist Mary Whitehouse. Whitehouse, after studying with [[Martha Graham]] and [[Mary Wigman]], became a dancer and teacher of modern dance,<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xywBCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA33|title=Authentic Movement: Moving the Body, Moving the Self, Being Moved: A Collection of Essays – Volume Two|last=Pallaro|first=Patrizia|date=15 January 2007|publisher=Jessica Kingsley Publishers|isbn=978-1-84642-586-8|location=London|page=33|language=en}}</ref> and, along with Swiss dancer [[Trudi Schoop]], is considered one of the founders of dance/movement therapy in the U.S.

===Political views===
====The state====
Jung stressed the importance of [[Natural and legal rights|individual rights]] in a person's relation to the state and society. He saw that the state was treated as "a quasi-animate personality from whom everything is expected" but that this personality was "only camouflage for those individuals who know how to manipulate it".<ref>{{cite book|isbn=978-0-451-21860-5|title=The Undiscovered Self: The Problem of the Individual in Modern Society|pages=15–16|publisher=New American Library|last=Jung|first=Carl|year=2006}}</ref> He referred to the state as a form of slavery.<ref>C. G. Jung, ''Die Beziehungen zwischen dem Ich und dem Unbewußten'', chapter one, second section, 1928. Also, C. G. Jung ''Aufsätze zur Zeitgeschichte'', 1946. Speeches made in 1933 and 1937 are excerpted.</ref><ref>{{cite book|isbn=978-0-451-21860-5|title=The Undiscovered Self: The Problem of the Individual in Modern Society|page=14|publisher=New American Library|last=Jung|first=Carl|year=2006}}</ref><ref name="Jung 2006 23–24">{{cite book|isbn=978-0-451-21860-5|title=The Undiscovered Self: The Problem of the Individual in Modern Society|pages=23–24|publisher=New American Library|last=Jung|first=Carl|year=2006}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|isbn=978-0-300-16650-7|title=Psychology and Religion|page=59|publisher=The Vail-Ballou Press ic.|last=Jung|first=Carl<!-- |year=1960 -->|date=10 September 1960 }}</ref> He also thought that the state "swallowed up [people's] religious forces",<ref>{{cite book|isbn=978-0-451-21860-5|title=The Undiscovered Self: The Problem of the Individual in Modern Society|page=23|publisher=New American Library|last=Jung|first=Carl|year=2006}}</ref> and therefore that the state had "taken the place of God"—making it comparable to a religion in which "state slavery is a form of worship".<ref name="Jung 2006 23–24"/> Jung observed that "stage acts of [the] state" are comparable to religious displays:

{{blockquote|Brass bands, flags, banners, parades and monster demonstrations are no different in principle from ecclesiastical processions, cannonades and fire to scare off demons.<ref>{{cite book|isbn=978-0-451-21860-5|title=The Undiscovered Self: The Problem of the Individual in Modern Society|page=25|publisher=New American Library|last=Jung|first=Carl|year=2006}}</ref>}}

From Jung's perspective, this replacement of God with the state in a mass society leads to the dislocation of the religious drive and results in the same [[fanaticism]] of the [[Papal States|church-states]] of the [[Dark Ages (historiography)|Dark Ages]]—wherein the more the state is 'worshipped', the more freedom and morality are suppressed;<ref>{{cite book|isbn=978-0-451-21860-5|title=The Undiscovered Self: The Problem of the Individual in Modern Society|page=24|publisher=New American Library|last=Jung|first=Carl|year=2006}}</ref> this ultimately leaves the individual psychically undeveloped with extreme feelings of marginalization.<ref>{{cite book|isbn=978-0-451-21860-5|title=The Undiscovered Self: The Problem of the Individual in Modern Society|page=14 & 45|publisher=New American Library|last=Jung|first=Carl|year=2006}}</ref>

====Service to the Allies during World War II====
Jung was in contact with [[Allen Dulles]] of the [[Office of Strategic Services]] (predecessor of the [[Central Intelligence Agency]]) and provided valuable intelligence on the psychological condition of [[Hitler]].  Dulles referred to Jung as "Agent 488" and offered the following description of his service: "Nobody will probably ever know how much Professor Jung contributed to the Allied Cause during the war, by seeing people who were connected somehow with the other side".  Jung's service to the Allied cause through the OSS remained classified after the war.<ref>{{Cite news | url=https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-shrink-as-secret-agent-jung-hitler-and-the-oss | title=The Shrink as Secret Agent: Jung, Hitler, and the OSS| newspaper=The Daily Beast| date=12 November 2016| last1=Dickey| first1=Christopher}}</ref>

===Relationship to Nazism and antisemitism===
In "The State of Psychotherapy Today",<ref>[[The Collected Works of C. G. Jung|Collected Works]], Volume 10</ref> published in 1934 in the ''Zentralblatt für Psychotherapie'', Jung wrote: "The [[Aryan race|Aryan]] unconscious has a greater potential than the Jewish unconscious" and "The Jew, who is something of a nomad, has never yet created a cultural form of his own and as far as we can see never will".<ref>Falk, A ''Anti-Semitism A History and Psychoanalysis of Contemporary Hatred'' Westport Connecticut: Praeger, 2008, pp. 110–111</ref> [[Andrew Samuels]] argues that his remarks on the "Aryan unconscious" and the "corrosive character" of Freud's "Jewish gospel"<ref>Letter to William M Kranefeldt dd 9 February 1934 reprinted in the ''International Review of Psychoanalysis'' Vol. 4:377 (1977)</ref> demonstrate a form of antisemitism "fundamental to the structure of Jung's thought" but also argues that there is a "pioneering nature of Jung's contributions" and that "his intuition of the importance of exploring difference remains intact."<ref>[[Andrew Samuels|Samuels, Andrew]].

In 1933, after the Nazis gained power in Germany, Jung became the president of the new [[International General Medical Society for Psychotherapy]] (''Allgemeine Ärztliche Gesellschaft für Psychotherapie''); the professional body aimed to have affiliated organizations in different countries.<ref>Jaffé, Aniela (1972); ''From the Life and Work of C.&nbsp;G.

He did not end his relationship with the ''Zentralblatt'' at this time, but he did arrange the appointment of a new managing editor, [[Carl Alfred Meier]] of Switzerland. For the next few years, the ''Zentralblatt'' under Jung and Meier maintained a position distinct from that of the Nazis in that it continued to acknowledge the contributions of Jewish doctors to psychotherapy.<ref name=Jaffe_p83>Jaffé, Aniela (1972); ''From the Life and Work of C.&nbsp;G.

The International Society's constitution permitted individual doctors to join it directly rather than through one of the national affiliated societies, a provision to which Jung drew attention in a circular in 1934.<ref>An English translation of the circular is in Jung, Carl G. (1970); ''Collected Works'', Volume 10; Routledge and Kegan Paul, London; {{ISBN|978-0-7100-1640-9}}; pp. 545–546.</ref> This implied that German Jewish doctors could maintain their professional status as individual members of the international body, even though they were excluded from the German affiliate, as well as from other German medical societies operating under the Nazis.<ref>Jaffé, Aniela (1972); ''From the Life and Work of C.&nbsp;G.

Scholar [[Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi]] believed that Jung's antisemitism may have contributed to the schism between Freud and his circle of psychoanalysts, who were predominantly Jews.<ref>{{cite book|last=Yerushalmi|first=Yosef Hayim|author-link=Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi|title=Freud's Moses|year=1991|publisher=Yale University Press|isbn=0-300-05756-3|page=42}}</ref>

Jung's interest in [[European mythology]] and [[folk psychology]] was shared by the [[Nazi Germany|Nazis]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Noll |first=Richard |edition=1st |date=1994 |title=The Jung Cult: Origins of a Charismatic Movement |page=336 |publisher=Princeton University Press }}</ref>{{sfn|Grossman|1979}}<ref name="theguardian" /> [[Richard Noll]] describes Jung's own reaction to this connection:

{{blockquote|Jung clearly identifies himself with the spirit of German [[Völkisch movement|Volkstumsbewegung]] throughout this period and well into the 1920s and 1930s, until the horrors of Nazism finally compelled him to reframe these [[neopagan]] metaphors in a negative light in his 1936 essay on [[Wotan]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Noll |first=Richard |edition=1st |date=1994 |title=The Jung Cult: Origins of a Charismatic Movement |page=134 |publisher=Princeton University Press }}</ref>}}

Various statements made by Jung in the 1930s have been cited as evidence of both contempt for Nazism and sympathy for Nazism.<ref>Clark, R.W (1980) ''Freud: the Man and the Cause''. London: Cape, pp. 492–3</ref> In the 1936 essay "Wotan", Jung described the influence of [[Adolf Hitler]] on Germany as "one man who is obviously 'possessed' has infected a whole nation to such an extent that everything is set in motion and has started rolling on its course towards perdition."<ref>{{cite book|title = Carl Gustav Jung: Avant-Garde Conservative|first=Jay|last=Sherry|year=2010|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan}}</ref><ref>Jung, Carl G.

In an interview in 1949, Carl Jung said, 
{{blockquote|It must be clear to anyone who has read any of my books that I have never been a Nazi sympathizer and I never have been anti-Semitic, and no amount of misquotation, mistranslation, or rearrangement of what I have written can alter the record of my true point of view.

===Views on homosexuality===
Jung addressed homosexuality in his published writings, in one comment specifying that homosexuality should not be a concern of legal authorities nor be considered a crime. He also stated that homosexuality does not reduce the value of a person as a member of society. Jung also said that homosexuality is a result of psychological immaturity ([[Nature versus nurture|"nurture"]]), but only if one's sexuality is not an aspect of their constitutional characteristics ([[Nature versus nurture|"nature"]]).<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Hopcke |first1=R. |title=Jung and Homosexuality: A Clearer Vision |journal=Journal of Analytical Psychology |date=1988 |volume=33 |issue=1 |pages=65–80 |doi=10.1111/j.1465-5922.1988.00065.x|pmid=3350769 }}</ref>

This research has led to a re-evaluation of Jung's work, particularly the visions detailed in ''[[The Red Book (Jung)|The Red Book]]'', in the context of contemporary psychedelic, evolutionary, and developmental [[Jungian neuroscience|neuroscience]]. For example, in a chapter entitled "Integrating the Archaic and the Modern: The Red Book, Visual Cognitive Modalities and the Neuroscience of Altered States of Consciousness", in the 2020 volume ''Jung's Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul Under Postmodern Conditions, Volume 4'', it is argued Jung was a pioneer who explored uncharted "cognitive domains" that are alien to Western modes of thought. While such domains of experience are not part of mainstream Western culture and thought, they are central to various Indigenous cultures that use psychedelics such as [[Tabernanthe iboga|Iboga]] and [[Ayahuasca]] during rituals to alter consciousness. The author writes: "Jung seems to have been dealing with modes of consciousness alien to mainstream Western thought, exploring the terrain of uncharted cognitive domains. I argue that science is beginning to catch up with Jung who was a pioneer whose insights contribute a great deal to our emerging understanding of human consciousness."<ref>Clark, Gary.

In Jung's Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul Under Postmodern Conditions Volume 4. Ed. Murray Stein and Thomas Arzt.

Commenting on research that was being undertaken during the 1950s, Jung wrote the following in a letter to Betty Eisner, a psychologist who was involved in LSD research at the University of California: "Experiments along the line of mescaline and related drugs are certainly most interesting since such drugs lay bare a level of the unconscious that is otherwise accessible only under peculiar psychic conditions. It is a fact that you get certain perceptions and experiences of things appearing either in mystical states or in the analysis of unconscious phenomena."<ref>Jung, C.G., [[Gerhard Adler|G. Adler]], and A. Jaffé. 1976. Letters: Routledge, p. 382.</ref>

An account of Jung and psychedelics, as well as the importance of Jungian psychology to psychedelic-assisted therapies, is outlined in Scott Hill's 2013 book ''Confrontation with the Unconscious: Jungian Depth Psychology and Psychedelic Experience''.<ref>Hill, S.J. 2013. Confrontation with the Unconscious: Jungian Depth Psychology and Psychedelic Experience: Muswell Hill Press.</ref> A 2021 article discusses Jung's attitude towards psychedelics, as well as the applicability of his ideas to current research.<ref name="Clark-2021"/> As the author writes, Jung's "...legitimate reservations about the clinical use of psychedelics are no longer relevant as the field has progressed significantly, devising robust clinical and experimental protocols for psychedelic-assisted therapies. That said Jung's concept of individuation—that is the integration of the archaic unconscious with consciousness—seems extremely pertinent to modern psychedelic research."<ref name="Clark-2021"/> The author also uses work in evolutionary and psychedelic neuroscience, and specifically the latter's ability to make manifest ancient subcortical brain systems, to illuminate Jung's concept of an archaic collective unconscious that evolved before the ego complex and the uniquely human default mode network.<ref name="Clark-2021"/>

==Legacy==
The [[Myers–Briggs Type Indicator]] (MBTI), a [[personality psychology|psychometric instrument]] mostly popular with non-psychologists, as well as the concepts of [[socionics]], were developed from Jung's model of [[psychological types]]. The MBTI is considered [[pseudoscience]]<ref>Thyer, Bruce A.; Pignotti, Monica (2015). Science and Pseudoscience in Social Work Practice. Springer Publishing Company. ISBN 978-0-8261-7768-1</ref> and is not widely accepted by researchers in the field of psychology.<ref>Bailey, Richard P.; Madigan, Daniel J.; Cope, Ed; Nicholls, Adam R. (2018).

Jung is considered a "godparent" of the altruistic, mutual self-help movement, [[Alcoholics Anonymous]].<ref name="Sikorsky Jr. 1990">{{Cite book |last=Sikorsky (Jr.) |first=Igor I. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1tiXAAAACAAJ |title=AA's Godparents: Three Early Influences on Alcoholics Anonymous and Its Foundation, Carl Jung, Emmet Fox, Jack Alexander |date=1990 |publisher=CompCare Publishers |isbn=978-0-89638-199-5 |language=en}}</ref> Jung told Rhode Island businessman and politician [[Rowland Hazard III|Rowland Hazard]] III, who had come under his care for the first time in 1926, that the only chance he might have to recover was through a "spiritual or religious experience" or "genuine conversion," which Hazard later had, through the [[Oxford Group]] and the [[Emmanuel Movement]], and, according to some sources, never drank again.<ref>{{cite journal | last=Bluhm | first=Amy Colwell | title=Verification of C.

Hazard, in turn, helped [[Ebby Thacher|Ebby Thatcher]], another alcoholic, get sober, with help from the Oxford Group. Thatcher brought Jung's ideas to a third alcoholic, [[Bill W.]], who consequently co-founded Alcoholics Anonymous with [[Bob Smith (doctor)|Dr. Bob]]. Years later, Bill W. corresponded with Jung, in 1961, thanking him for helping to inspire the organization. Of Hazard, the alcoholic who came under his care, Jung wrote: "His craving for alcohol was the equivalent, on a low level, of the spiritual thirst of our being for wholeness, expressed in medieval language: the union with God."<ref name="Sikorsky Jr. 1990"/>

Jung concludes his letter to Bill W.:

"You see, "alcohol" in Latin is ''spiritus'', and you use the same word for the highest religious experience as well as for the most depraving poison. The helpful formula therefore is: ''spiritus contra spiritum''."<ref>{{Cite web |date=14 November 2015 |title=Speaking of Jung – The Bill W. – Carl Jung Letters |url=https://speakingofjung.com/blog/2015/11/13/the-bill-w-carl-jung-letters |access-date=28 June 2024 |website=Speaking of Jung |language=en-US}}</ref>

Jung saw the human psyche as "by nature religious" and made this idea a principal focus of his explorations. Jung is one of the best-known contemporary contributors to [[dream interpretation|dream analysis]] and symbolization. His influence on popular psychology, the "psychologization of religion", [[spirituality]], and the [[New Age]] movement has been immense. A ''[[Review of General Psychology]]'' survey, published in 2002, ranked Jung as the 23rd most cited psychologist of the 20th century. The list however focused on U.S. journals and was made by the psychology department of [[Arkansas State University]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Haggbloom |first1=Steven J. |last2=Warnick |first2=Renee |last3=Warnick |first3=Jason E. |last4=Jones |first4=Vinessa K. |last5=Yarbrough |first5=Gary L. |last6=Russell |first6=Tenea M. |last7=Borecky |first7=Chris M. |last8=McGahhey |first8=Reagan |last9=Powell |first9=John L.

* The Canadian novelist [[Robertson Davies]] made Jungian analysis a central part of his 1970 novel ''The Manticore''. He stated in a letter, "There have been other books which describe Freudian analyses, but I know of no other that describes a Jungian analysis" adding "I was deeply afraid that I would put my foot in it, for I have never undergone one of those barnacle-scraping experiences, and knew of it only through reading. So, I was greatly pleased when some of my Jungian friends in Zurich liked it very much."<ref>''For Your Eye Alone: The Letters of Robertson Davies'' edited by Judith Skelton Grant (New York: Viking, 2001) p. 72.</ref>

====Film, stage, and television influenced by Jung's ideas====
* [[Federico Fellini]] brought to the screen exuberant imagery shaped by his encounter with Jung's ideas, especially Jungian [[dream interpretation]]. Fellini preferred Jung to Freud because Jungian analysis defined the dream not as a symptom of a disease that required a cure but rather as a link to archetypal images shared by all of humanity.<ref>{{cite book|last=Bondanella|first=Peter E.|title=The Films of Federico Fellini|url=https://archive.org/details/filmsfedericofel00bond|url-access=limited|page=[https://archive.org/details/filmsfedericofel00bond/page/n109 94]|isbn=978-0-521-57573-7|date=17 January 2002|publisher=Cambridge University Press }}</ref>
* [[Stanley Kubrick]]'s 1987 film ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]'' has an underlying theme about the duality of man. In one scene, a colonel asks a soldier, "You write 'Born to Kill' on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?" The soldier replies, "I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir...the Jungian thing, sir."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.visual-memory.co.uk/amk/doc/0065.html|title=The Kubrick Site: The Full Metal Jacket Screenplay|website=www.visual-memory.co.uk}}</ref>
* In the 1994 ''Frasier'' episode, "Frasier Crane's Day Off", Niles fills in for his brother, declaring: "Although I feel perfectly qualified to fill Frasier's radio shoes, I should warn you that while Frasier is a Freudian, I am a Jungian. So there'll be no blaming Mother today."
* [[Robert Eggers]]'s 2019 psychological thriller ''[[The Lighthouse (2019 film)|The Lighthouse]]'' has elements strongly influenced by Jung's work, with Eggers hoping that "it's a movie where both Jung and Freud would be furiously eating their popcorn".<ref>{{cite web|title='He Sort Of Wants A Daddy': Decoding The Homoeroticism In 'The Lighthouse'|date=20 October 2019|last=Jacobs|first=Matthew|work=HuffPost|url=https://m.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/the-lighthouse-homoeroticism-robert-pattinson-willem-dafoe_n_5da9c888e4b0e71d65b801ae}}</ref>
