What if the stories, myths and symbols that appear across all human cultures are not a coincidence? Carl Jung thought they revealed something profound about the structure of the human mind.

In this episode, we explore Jung's theory of personality, including his psychological types, the personal and collective unconscious, and the archetypes he believed we all share: the shadow, the persona, the anima and the animus. We also cover synchronicity and the process of individuation, Jung's idea of becoming a whole and integrated self.

Ideal for MRCPsych Part A revision, psychology students and anyone fascinated by the deeper layers of the human mind. Aligned with the Royal College of Psychiatrists MRCPsych Part A syllabus, paragraph 1.1.6.

I would love to hear from you!
