An expert I admire

Hi everyone!. Today I'm going to talk about an Expert I admire in my field. I'm a student of psychology, I'm in my first year. I know just a little of what I'm expected to learn in my career, but for what I know now, I'm going to tell you a little about Carl Gustav Jung and his work, for whom I take my hat off.

Carl Gustav Jung, born in 1875, Switzerland, was a psychiatrist, psychologist and an essayist; as you can see, a remarkable man. His figure in those fields was very important in the initial stage of psychoanalysis; and also he was the founder of the school of analytical psychology, also known as complex psychology and depth psychology. He is often related to Sigmund Freud, because he was his collaborator at his beginnings. Jung's theoretical and clinical approach emphasized the functional connection between the structure of the psyche and its products. This motivated him to incorporate in his methods some ideas  from anthropology, alchemy, dreams, art, mythology, religion and philosophy.  Jung wasn't the first in the field of dreams. However, his contributions to the dream analysis were extensive and highly influential.

When he was starting his career, he admired Eugen Bleuler a lot, Pierre Janet and, above all, Sigmund Freud.These experts were very meaningful to him, because they allowed him to start creating his own thoughts about the psychoanalysis.The creation of a method for the dream analysis and its interpretations were very important for understanding psychotic symptoms.

His big importance to me, is the distinctive way to study the human behavior. He named to certain patterns of behavior as "archetypes". These archetypes could disturb the way in which the human awareness can experiment the world and perceive themselves; besides, they could lead implicit the matrix of possible answers that it's possible to observe, in a certain moment, in the particular behavior of a subject. In this meaning, Jung believed that the archetypes act in all men, what allowed to postulate the existence of a collective unconscious. This postulate made him very famous.

As you can see, he was a very important, very versatile in so many fields and a very curious man, who could transcend thanks to all of this features. His legacy, as the one of many other interesting studious, is very important to understand the development of my field and others that are mentioned above.

Thanks for reading.
