Jungs Archetypes

• Aspects
• Common to all people
• Emotional patterns that have been formed over
  time as reoccurring reactions to events
• Predispose us to react in predictable ways to
  certain stimuli
• Best-known archetypes
• Persona/Shadow, Animus/Anima, Magician,
  Child-god, Mother, Hero/Demon

Archetypes, cont.

• Persona and Shadow (The battle within)
• Two opposing archetypes
• Idealized outward appearance (Persona) versus
  dark, unacceptable motives and desires (Shadow)
• Results in socially unacceptable thoughts and
  actions, similar to Id vs. Superego battles
• Hero and Demon (the outside battle)
• Hero is strong, good force that battles the enemy
• Demon represents cruelty and evil

Archetypes, cont.

  element of a man (anima)

  be a male, and a male has innate knowledge of
  what it means to be a female

Jungs Complexes

• Struggle between opposing archetypes produces
  COMPLEXES
• Group of emotionally-charged feelings, thoughts,
  and ideas that are all related to a particular
  theme.
• Opposing forces that continually pull against
  each other
• Struggle to balance complexes, or achieve
  equilibrium

Jungs Topographical Model

• Conscious ? What we are currently aware of
  (class, Spring Break)
• Unconscious ? Where battles between opposing
  archetypes take place (memories, understanding of
  future, and repressed battles struggle between
  Persona and Shadow for identity)
• Collective Unconscious ? Where archetypes are
  (Understanding and awareness of Persona and
  Shadow by all human beings)

personality)

  archetypes

• Accomplish this through Dream Analysis and
  Imagination
• ? Leads to SELF Psychological Order and Totality
