When presented with a case, two people can have a different analysis of the situation. In the early days of developmental psychoanalytic theory, Jung was a student of Freud and studied a young woman named Anna O. Even though Jung was Freud's student, they both had a different psychoanalytic approach to his problem. This report will compare and contrast the unconscious views of Freud and Jung. It will also give perspectives on cases where they agreed and disagreed on the purpose and manifestation of the unconscious. Finally, let's examine Freud and Jung's approach to Anne's case. There's a reason why our lives don't turn out the way we planned. Freud's theory of the unconscious notes that there are repressions by the mind that cause unsupervised discussions. This could come from dreams, mistakes made, and different types of forgetting (Feist & Feist, 2009, p. 25). This is similar to Jung's personal unconscious, which can be easily recalled, some have difficulty retrieving their memories and others are beyond the reach of awareness (Feist & Feist, 2009, p. 105) . The unconscious problem that Anne may have had stems from the fact that she was taking care of her father and unknowingly forgetting to take care of herself. As a result, she began to feel neglected by the physical aspects. Unlike Freud's unique theory of the unconscious, Jung had a personal and collective unconscious. The personal view of the unconscious is unique for each person (Feist & Feist, 2009, p. 105). The collective unconscious has connections to the ancestral past of the entire species, such as having psychic abilities (Feist & Feist, 2009, p. 105). Jung would have looked at Anne's case from both sides. When Anne vacillates from one mental state to another...... middle of paper...... personal importance. On the other hand, Jung's favored treatment would be to study dreams. By conducting a dream study, Anne would become more self-aware. Works Cited Feist, J. & Feist, G. (2009). Personality theories.
