MRCPsych on the Go: Revision Essentials
Hello! My name is Dr Aalap Asurlekar, a Core Psychiatry Trainee in the UK and the creator and host of MRCPsych on the Go: Revision Essentials.
Having experienced firsthand the challenge of preparing for the MRCPsych exams alongside full-time clinical work, I created this podcast to make high-quality, structured revision more accessible.
Each episode focuses on key syllabus topics, explained in clear and structured language to help you understand and retain the most important concepts.
Whether you are a psychiatry trainee preparing for Paper A, B, or CASC, or a medical student looking to strengthen your psychiatry knowledge, this podcast is designed to fit around your schedule. Episodes include exam-style questions and clinical scenarios to support active recall, so you can revise during commutes, walks, or between shifts.

MRCPsych on the Go: Revision Essentials
16. Carl Jung Explained: Archetypes, the Unconscious and Individuation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
