Carl Gustav Jung ( 26 July 1875 - 6 June 1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who founded analytical psychology. His work has been influential not only in psychiatry but also in philosophy; anthropology; archaeology; literature; and religious studies. He was a prolific writer; though many of his works were not published until after his death.

The central concept of analytical psychology is individuation鈥攖he psychological process of integrating the opposites; including the conscious with the unconscious; while still maintaining their relative autonomy. Jung considered individuation to be the central process of human development.

Jung created some of the best known psychological concepts; including the archetype; the collective unconscious; the complex; and extraversion and introversion. Pictures From History
