Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961)
Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung's most famous concept, the collective unconscious, has had a deep influence not only on psychology but also on philosophy and the arts. Jung was an influential inspiration for the New Age movement with his interest in occultism. This web site shares some biographical information about Jung, but the emphasis of this site is a deeper look into Jung's beliefs, theories, and political affiliations than many other sources offer.

Carl Gustav Jung
"Carl Jung (1875-1961) is truly one of the great minds of psychology." His theory was that he had discovered evidence for a "collective unconscious" shared by all human beings. His collective unconscious is characterized by "archetypes," "instinctual patterns of behavior and perception," which show themselves in dreams and myths. This web site presents a lengthy quote from Jung explaining his theory, an analysis of his theories, and a list of numerous links to related web sites.

Carl Jung
As a young child renowned Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung suffered from fragile health, had practically no friends, and was relatively disliked; but even then he showed a vivid imagination. Some of Jung's greatest theories are basic ideas that we take for granted today. The biography presented on this web site is organized by sections covering Jung's childhood and family life, his adult life, his professional accomplishments, and his contributions to psychology.

Carl Jung
"Anyone who wants to know the human psyche will learn next to nothing from experimental psychology. He would be better advised to abandon exact science, put away his scholar's gown, bid farewell to his study, and wander with human heart throughout the world." Carl Jung made the exploration of the inner space of human unconsciousness his life's work. This web site presents a biographical sketch of Jung and a fairly lengthy explanation of his theory illustrated with pictures and graphs. A discussion of his theories and a list of suggested further readings are provided on the site.

Transpersonal Pioneers: Carl Jung
Culled from the sixth edition of Personality and Personal Growth by R. Frager and J. Fadiman, this entry discusses Carl Jung and his theory of personality development. According to Frager and Fadiman, Jungian psychology hinges on a connection between the ego and self, a critical dialogue between the conscious and unconscious processes. The material in this long excerpt includes such topics as introversion and extraversion, psychological functions (thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition), the unconscious, archetype, ego, persona, shadow, self, symbols, and more.
