n. refers to Carl Gustav Jung, the Swiss psychiatrist who founded analytical psychology. His work introduced concepts such as the collective unconscious, archetypes, and extraversion versus introversion.
We are studying the theories of Jung in my psychology class.
Many modern personality tests are based on the psychological types first described by Jung in the early twentieth century.
While Freud focused on individual repressed desires, Jung proposed that the human psyche also contains universal patterns inherited from our ancestors, which he called archetypes.
Used as a proper noun to refer to the person or his school of thought; often appears in the adjectival form 'Jungian'.
