Carl Jung

Carl Jung started his career in the psychiatric clinic at the University of Zurich as an assistant to Eugen Bleuler in 1900. In his internship he worked out the so-called association experiment. "This method of testing used to reveal affectively significant groups of ideas in the unconscious area of the psyche (the mind)(Carl Jung Biography)" Theses  groups would have controlled the affected person and encourage anxieties and inappropriate emotions. After Jung read Sigmund's Frued's Interpretation of Dreams, he found his own ideas to be confirmed and furthered. The beginning of their work together was when he sent his publication Studies in Word Association. It lasted from 1907 until 1913. "Jung was eager to explore the secrets of the psyche expressed by dreaming, fantasies, myths, fairy tales, superstition, and occultism (belief in supernatural powers of forces) (Carl Jung Biography)." Freud had already worked out his theories about the basic cause of neurosis. His belief that all expressions of unconscious are hidden wish fulfillments. Jung thought more that the theories were presumptions and did not full justice to the expressions of psychic life. For Jung  unconscious is basically the source of man's creativeness and the roots of a person's consciousness. With his idea's he came into conflict with Freud, who regarded Carl Jung's ideas as unscientific, he  accused Freud of being narrow-minded. Freud and his followers disapproved of Jung and emphasized the spiritual aspects of the psyche.(Carl Jung Biography)
