Carl Jung (1875-1961), Swiss psychiatrist, was the father of analytical psychology. Jung thought that people share collective unconscious, appearing archetype, including mythology, and symbols and patterns that appear in dreams. He also theorized that there is a female element in the unconscious of men -- the anima -- and a male element in the unconscious of women -- the animus. Jung believed that extroversion and introversion with four functions (thinking, feeling, sensing and intuition) were integral in the study of personality types. The aim of individuation is wholeness, through the integration of unconscious forces and motivations underlying human behavior.

Jung's main theories were those of collective unconscious, archetypes, individuation, and typology based on extaversion-introversion with four functions.
