View of the Human Person
Prepared by Justine Marie Beltran
• Jung believed the human psyche is imbedded in the past, present,
and future.

• The psyche consists of conscious and unconscious elements,


masculine and feminine traits

• He believed that the most important part of the unconscious


springs form the distant past of human existence.

Prepared by Justine Marie Beltran


• Jung believed the human psyche exists in three parts:
• the ego (the conscious mind),
• the personal unconscious
• the collective unconscious.

• Jung believed the collective unconscious was a reservoir of all


the experience and knowledge of the human species.

Prepared by Justine Marie Beltran


• Conscious images are those that are sensed by the ego

• Jung saw the ego as the center of consciousness, but not


the core of the personality.

• The ego must be completed by the more comprehensive


self.

• In a psychologically healthy person, the ego takes a


secondary position to the unconscious self.

Conscious
Prepared by Justine Marie Beltran
• Jung also believed that the process of individuation was essential
in order for a person to become whole and fully developed as a
human being.

• Individuation is a process in which the various parts of a person,


including the conscious and unconscious, become completely
integrated so that the individual becomes his or her "true self."

Individuation
Prepared by Justine Marie Beltran
• "In general, it is the process by
which individual beings are formed
and differentiated [from other
human beings]. In particular, it is the
development of the psychological
individual as a being distinct from
the general, collective psychology.“

- Carl Jung, in
Psychological Types

Prepared by Justine Marie Beltran


• It embraces all repressed, forgotten, or subliminally
perceived experiences of one particular individual.

• It is formed by our individual experiences and is therefore


unique to each of us.

• Contents in the personal unconscious are called


complexes.

Personal Unconscious
Prepared by Justine Marie Beltran
• A complex is an emotionally toned conglomeration of
associated ideas.
• E.g. a person’s experience of Mother

• Complexes are largely personal but may also be derived


from humanity’s collective experience.

Collective Unconscious
Prepared by Justine Marie Beltran
Collective Unconscious
Prepared by Justine Marie Beltran
• It comes from the ancestral past of the entire species.

• Its physical contents are inherited and passed to other


generations as psychic potentials.

• The collective unconscious is responsible for people’s many


myths, legends, & religious beliefs. It also produces “big
dreams.”

Collective Unconscious
Prepared by Justine Marie Beltran
• It is NOT inherited ideas.

• BUT, it is human’s innate tendency to react in a particular


way whenever their experiences stimulate a biologically
inherited response tendency.

• e.g. a young mother and newborn infant


• e.g. a man falling in love

Collective Unconscious
Prepared by Justine Marie Beltran
• Humans come into the world with inherited predispositions
to act and react in a certain way if experiences touch on
these biologically based predispositions.

• How many biologically based predispositions do humans


have?

• Countless repetitions of typical situations make them part of


the human biological constitution.

Collective Unconscious

Archetypes

Prepared by Justine Marie Beltran


• They are archaic images that derive from the collective
unconscious.

• They are emotionally toned collections of associated


images.

• However, they are different from complexes.

Archetypes
Prepared by Justine Marie Beltran
• Archetypes are not impulses

• An impulses is an unconscious physical impulse toward


an action whereas the archetype is a psychic counterpart
of an instinct.

Archetypes
Prepared by Justine Marie Beltran
“As animals of the same kind show
the same instinctual phenomena all over the
world, man also shows the same archetypal
forms no matter where he lives. As animals
have no need to be taught their instinctive
activities, so man also possesses his
primordial psychic patterns and repeats them
spontaneously, independently of any kind of
teaching.

Inasmuch as man is conscious and


capable of introspection, it is quite possible
that he can perceive his instinctual patterns
in the form of archetypal representations.“

- Carl Jung, (1957)

Prepared by Justine Marie Beltran
