CARL JUNG:
A Swiss psychiatrist, the founder of analytical psychology, and understudy of Sigmund Freud. He became known for his theory, the collective unconscious archetypes. Jung took Freud's theory of the unconscious mind a step further. His spin on the theory describes how the eternal forms, personal insticts, experiences, and inheritance of humanity forms our collective unconscious mind. I understand that this theory provides us with our independent symbolism, hope, religious beliefs, and meanings. Overall, it basically explains how we judge everyday life.
ALFRED ADLER:
An Austrian medical doctor, psychologist, and founder of the school of individual psychology. Adler was a colleague of Sigmund Freud. Adler's idea was the inferiority complex, which Freud declared as too contrary. I understand the basic idea behind this theory is that all children go through a stage of experiencing inferior feelings. This is caused by being surrounded by stronger, and more capable adults. Then the child becomes more aware of their personal feelings, and strives to be like their elders.
KAREN HORNEY:
A German psychoanalyst and psychiatrist. Horney had her own views; many agreeing, and many disagreeing with those of Sigmund Freud's. She particularly criticized Freud's penis envy theory. She believed Freud stumbled upon women's jealousy of men's power in the world. Horney was later known for her women vs. men psychoanalysis. I understand that she said Freud's penis envy theory was possible, but the womb envy theory must be present then too.
