Jung, Carl

Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

Carl Jung (1875–1961) studied medicine, at the University of Basel. His interest in spiritual phenomena lead him to combine his two passions and become involved in the field of psychiatry. Jung befriended Freud and, for a time, was viewed almost as his protégé. Jung, however, started to develop his own ideas and the two men grew apart.

Jung’s synthesis of the concepts of introversion and extraversion form a major foundation of personality psychology and has also influenced psychotherapy.

In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.
Man needs difficulties; they are necessary for health.
Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.

We cannot change anything until we accept it.

Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.
