Analytical psychology
Analytical psychology is a school of Depth Psychology based upon the movement started by Carl Jung and his followers as distinct from the (at the time) Freudian-dominated psychoanalysis. It is based on the concept that we are not aware of our personal unconscious and its concomitant forces and processes. Moreover, Jung also identified a Collective Unconscious.
Analytical Psychology distinguishes several psychological types or temperaments.
Attitude Types
- Extravert
- Introvert
Ego function types
- Thinking
- Feeling
- Sensation
- Intuition
These Psychological Types are the foundation of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), which adds two more types:
- Judging
- Perceiving
