Analytical psychology (or
Jungian psychology) is the school of
psychology originating from the ideas of Swiss psychiatrist
Carl Jung, and then advanced by his students and other thinkers who followed in his tradition. It is distinct from
Freudian psychoanalysis but also has a number of similarities. Its aim is the apprehension and integration of the deep forces and motivations underlying human behavior by the practice of an accumulative
phenomenology around the significance of dreams, folklore and mythology.
Depth psychology and
archetypal psychology are related in that they both employ the model of the unconscious mind as the source of healing and development in the individual
