Carl Jung is one of psychology’s biggest pioneers whose deep understanding of the human mind enabled him to create a bridge between our conscious and unconscious. Beginning with his life story and how the people he met and events that occurred along the way impacted his thinking, we then take a deep dive into his theories. We look at Jung’s ideas on the human psyche and personality, and his understanding of the unconscious and archetypes before exploring his practical ideas and methods of ‘inner work’ and therapy. Explaining Jung’s work in a way that is easily understandable, we hope, too, that it will be inspirational for anyone new to his work.
