 Levels of the Psych
• Conscious
-images are those that are sensed by
the ego, whereas unconscious elements have
no relationship with the ego.
Jung saw the ego as the center of
consciousness, but not the core of personality.
 Personal Unconscious
• Embraces all repressed forgotten, or subliminally
percieved experiences of one particular
individual.
• Contents of the personal unconscious are called
complexes.
• A complex is an emotionally toned
conglomeration of associated ideas.
• Complexes are largely personal, but they may
also be partly derived from humanity’s collective
experience.
 Collective Unconscious
• Has roots in the ancestral past of the entire
species.
• It is the most controversial, and perhaps his most
distinctive concept.
• The physical contents of the collective
unconscious are inherited and pass from one
generation to the next as psychic potential.
• The contents, do not lie dormant but are active
and influence a person’s thoughts, emotions, and
actions.
 Archetypes
• Are ancient or archaic images that derive from
the collective unconscious.
• Similar to complexes,
• Are generalized and derive from the conytents
of collective unconscious.
Instincts- is an unconscious physical
impulse toward action and saw the archetype
as the psychic counterpart to an instinct.
• Have a biological basis but originate through
the repeated experiences of human’s early
ancestors.
• Dreams are the main source of arhetypal
material.
Persona- the side of personality that
people show to the world.
• Shadow- the archetype of darkness and
repression.
• Consists of morally objectionable tendencies
as well as a number of constructive and
creative qualities that we, nevertheless, are
reluctant to face.
 Anima
• The feminine side of men, originates in the
collective unconscious as an archetype and
remains extremely resistant to consciousness.
• Originated from early men’s experiences with
women.
• Influences the feeling side in man and is the
explanation for certain irrational moods and
feelings.
