Document Summary
Interests in archeology, theology, anthropology, mysticism, occults, philosophy, languages, history, and medicine. Traveled too many continents to do research. Studied under eugene bleuler who coined the term schizophrenia. Developed an intense relationship with freud between 1906 and 1914. Went through a period of mental instability - which he called a creative illness- following the termination of his relationship with freud(1914-1917) By the end of his life received eight honorary doctorates. Using word associations jung studied subjects" non-conscious reactions. He found that the method could aid in uncovering latent emotional difficulties by exposing content areas that produced hesitation, or total inhibition response. Sometimes the subject"s respiration rate was measured, along with a recording of galvanic skin response (gsr) Usually the stimulus word that triggered the subject"s hesitation was connected symbolically with a deeply personal and emotionally abrasive set of ideas or experience.
