Jung. C. G.
Jung. C. G.
(1875-) Exponent of a type of psychoanalysis (see Psycho-analysis) known as “analytic psychology”, which has close affinities with Freudianism (see Freud, Sigmund) and with individual psychology (see Adler, Alfred). Jung employed Freud’s methods of free association and dream analysis but emphasized his own method of word-association. He differed from Freud in (a) minimizing the role of sex, and (b) emphasizing present conflict rather than childhood complexes in the explanation of neuroses. Jung is also known for his classification of psychological types as introverts and extroverts. Cf. Jung’s Psychological Types. — L.W.
