1. Personality Theorists - Psychoanalytical and Humanistic

Carl Jung (1875–1961), was born in Switzerland and started his career as a doctor.  He combined his interest in spirituality and began to practice psychiatry working with patients in a psychiatric asylum in Zurich.  As a young man, he  studied Freud’s ideas and techniques, and  in the early years, Jung and Freud developed a collegial friendship.  As time went on, however, the relationship deteriorated. Jung began to disagree with some of the basic ideas of Freud and eventually went on to develop his own theory of personality.

Jung agreed that one’s behavior and personality is controlled by our Ego, which was mostly our unconscious mind.  Unlike Freud, Jung  felt that the subconscious mind was  composed of two parts.  The personal unconscious, (the things we have experienced, and can recall or have repressed). The second part was the idea of  the collective unconscious 9the collection of shared memories we have inherited  from our ancestors).
