Major Concepts
• Although some of Jung's structural terms weredrawn from the Freudian psychoanalyticlexicon of the day, they are not necessarily
used in the same way.
• In the Freudian conceptualization, ego refers toa psychic structure which mediates between
society (superego) and instinctual drives (id).Jung‘s usage is in contrast to this.

Major Concepts
• For Jung the ego is both conscious andunconscious aspects and is at the same timepersonal and collective.
• Simply put, too simply perhaps, the ego is howone sees oneself, along with the consciousand unconscious feelings that accompany thatview (Hopcke, 1989, p. 77).
• Psyche – Your mind + your deepest feelings +attitudes.

Major Concepts
• A major part of the ego's task -- and a majorgoal of psychotherapy -- is to develop anappropriate relationship with what Jung termedthe Self, the archetype of wholeness.
• The Self can be understood as the centralorganizing principle of the psyche, thatfundamental and essential aspect of human
personality which gives cohesion, meaning,direction, and purpose to the whole psyche.

Major Concepts
• Resting (for the most part) close to the surfaceof the unconscious are those personalattributes and elements of experience which
have been excluded from the ego, usuallybecause of parental and societal disapproval.
• These elements are known as the shadow,
and they tend to be projected on less favoredindividuals and groups.

Major Concepts
• While in general these qualities are negativeones, the shadow may also contain positiveaspects which the individual has been unableto own.

Major Concepts
• Finally, the persona -- the Greek word for anactor's mask -- is the face shown to others. Itreveals certain selected aspects of the
individual and hides others.• A well-developed individual may have several
personae appropriate to business and socialsituations. The problem comes not in having apersona but in identifying with it.

Major Concepts
• Jung’s work with patients' dreams, theappearance of symbols which seemed to havelittle or no personal meaning for the dreamerand yet which often had great emotional
charge.
• He observed that many of these symbols hadappeared again and again throughout history
in mythology, religion, fairy tales, alchemicaltexts, and other forms of creative expression.

Major Concepts
• Jung became convinced that the source of thissymbolic material was what he identified asthe collective unconscious, a pool ofexperience accessible to all humans through
history which lies below the personalunconscious.
• The archetypes were, for Jung, "typical modes
of expression“ – expressed, comprehendedand relevance in the way personalexperiences are organized.
