Document Summary
Carl jung conceived of the structure of personality as a complex network of interacting systems that strive toward eventual harmony. The main systems are the ego; the personal unconscious with its complexes; and the collective unconscious and its archetypes. He also described two types of attitudes (introversion and extraversion) toward reality and four basic functions (sensation, thinking, feeling and intuition), which together constitute separate but related aspects of the psyche. Jung viewed the unconscious as the source of consciousness and the matrix of new possibilities: stressed the qualities we share with other people (collective unconscious) Freud viewed the unconscious as materials that have been repressed: limited to personal experiences repressed and forgotten, libido. Jung: libido in a more generalized fashion as an undifferentiated energy that moves the person forward (not just a sex drive: seeks a balance, ego. Freud: the ego is the executor of personality.
