Carl Gustav Jung

Historical Figure

Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist and the founder of analytical psychology, known for his theories of archetypes and the collective unconscious, which were met with some controversy. He collaborated with Sigmund Freud from 1906 to 1913 before their split and worked at Burghölzli Hospital and the University of Zurich in the early 1900s. Later, he maintained a private practice and influenced figures like Marie-Louise von Franz and Erich Neumann through the C. G. Jung Institute in Zürich.
