Jung, Carl Gus‧tav /jʊŋ, kɑːl ˈɡʊstɑːv $ kɑːrl ˈɡʌs-/
(1875–1961) a Swiss
psychiatrist who studied the importance of dreams and religion in problems of the mind, and divided people into two groups,
introverts and
extroverts. Jung developed the idea of the
COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS, the belief that people's feelings and reactions are often based on deep memories of human experience in the past. He worked with Sigmund Freud until they had a serious disagreement.
