Jung, through his close collaboration with freud, was one of the founders of psychoanalysis. Subsequently breaking from Freud, he developed his own theories, which he called analytical psychology. In pioneering the development of his particular depth psychology, Jung cast an influence, albeit by and large outside psychoanalysis, that has been monumental and that has continued long past his death in 1961. Jung was convinced of the importance of prewired givens such as a central unconscious ordering principle of personality, which he called the self, and a fundamental driving force toward self-realization, a process he termed individuation (Jung, 1953, p. 182). In the clinical arena, Jung, anticipating some of our postmodern sensibilities, emphasized the mutual influence that occurs between patient and analyst and the required deep involvement of the analyst for analysis to work. Today, Jung's analytical psychology is experiencing a resurgence in interest and influence within the practice of psychotherapy and our culture at large.
