Few people have had as much influence on modern psychology as Carl Jung; he has coined terms such as extraversion and introversion, archetypes, anima and animus, shadow, and collective unconscious, among others.
Analytical Psychology is the name given to the psychological-therapeutic system founded and developed by the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961).
Jungian therapy or Jung’s Analysis seeks to illuminate the dark areas of our psyche and favor self-realization. It is an intensive and thorough psychological therapy.
Jungian therapy is useful for those who are experiencing various mental health issues, such as depression, phobia, anxiety, relationship issues, or any trauma. However, you don't need to have a severe mental health issue to experience its benefits.
One of Carl Jung’s great gifts to depth psychology was his recognition that mind and body are one and that our symptoms, psychological and physical, can be viewed as manifestations of some part of us that “wants to be known.”
It goes as follows: Man skids into midlife and loses his soul. Man goes looking for soul. After a lot of instructive hardship and adventure — taking place entirely in his head — he finds it again. The book tells the story of Jung trying to face down his own demons as they emerged from the shadows.
