1: THE PSYCHOLOGICAL AND MYTHOLOGICAL METHOD1.1 Popularisation of MethodThe Swiss psychiatrist, Carl Gustav Jung popularised the terms 'introvert and extravert', interpreted the deeper conscious levels in terms of mythology, and established psychotherapy as the treatment of disorders with extensive research in various psychological methods.1.2 Studies and ExperienceProfessor Jung (1875-1961) studied medicine at Basel, and worked under Bleuler at the Bugholsli clinic at Zurich (1900-1907). He established the term 'complex' in his early studies in word association, and his 1907 publication of The Psychology of Dementia Praecox led to his meeting Sigmund Freud in Vienna. He became Freud's leading collaborator and was elected President of the International Psychoanalytical Association from 1910 to 1914.1.3 Critical of FreudHis independent researches made him increasingly critical of Freud's sexual definition of the libido. His publication of The Psychology of the Unconscious caused a break in 1913. From then onwards he developed his own theories, foremost among which were his description of psychological types ('extraversion/introversion' 1921). 1.4 Self -regulating SystemHis theory of psychic energy emphasised a final point of view as against a purely causal one. His discovery and exploration of the 'collective unconscious', with its 'archetypes' was an impersonal substratum underlying the 'personal unconscious'; the concept of the psyche as a 'self-regulating system' expressing itself in the process of 'individualisation'.1.5 SymbolismTo this latter process Jung devoted most of his latter work, constantly enlarging the scope of his researches; to include the interpretation of the dreams and drawings of patients, the symbolism of religions, myths, historical antecedents as (e.g. alchemy), and even modern physics ('synchronicity').1.6 Influences on SciencesThus, Jung's work has become of great importance for medicine, psychology, anthropology, religion, art, history, literature, etc.1.7 Condensed PictureThis presentation of Jung's psychotherapy is intended to give a condensed picture and an introduction to his extensive publications and method of therapy. Above all, to wet the reader's appetite for further interest in Jung's own extraordinarily voluminous works. It is the author's opinion that it would be inappropriate to attempt a description of Jung's forty plus years of intensive research, in a few pages that this book can afford. 1.8 Short TaskIn short, a practically impossible task. It must necessarily remain a sketch, which the author attempts to organise as simply and clearly as possible, but that must renounce going into profundities or details.1.9 Author's JustificationIf one needs a justification as to why I still believe strongly in the application of psychotherapy, the half a century of practical application to the human mental health and the psychological illnesses, this practical experience alone should suffice. What I am attempting to do in this book is to bring together a short explanation of how C G Jung tried to bring a new method of therapy to the world. In the main, I would like the content of this write-up to be as close to the original work of the Master, and for the reader to decide how such thoughts can be applied in their search for happiness. Should there still be doubts, read it as if it is another collection of thoughts by a philosopher. 1.10 Science not PhilosophyTo consider Carl Gustav Jung as another Thinker/Philosopher is still an honour for a man who devoted his time in bringing forward his philosophical thoughts. Lest not ignore the fact that the Jungian psychotherapists, and Jung himself consider their method to be science; neither a school of philosophy, nor a religion.
