Description
The great Swiss psychiatrist C.G Jung held many interesting theories about the human mind. Not only did he come up with now commonly understood concepts such as "synchronicity" and "introvert/extrovert", he was also brave enough to delve deeper into our subconcious. Jung was intrigued by the many similar stories cultures all over the world shared with one another, and he realised that many of the reaccuring themes in these world myths appeared likewise in the dreams of his patients and himself. He used this discovery to formulate his theory of the "collective unconcious", the part of our brain formed by memories and imagery of all humanity. Many would later question his theory, but the idea of "archetypes" - a term Jung used to point out universally recognisable mental symbols - is still relevant today. Jung saw archetypes as the missing link between the individual soul and myths.
