Analytical Psychology

Analytical Psychology is a field of knowledge based originally on theoretical and practical developments in the work of Swiss doctor Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961). This approach offers a model of understanding psyche human, that includes a therapeutic proposal to improve mental health and to contribute to personality development, as well as a conceptual body of the knowledge relevant to the analysis of social and cultural subjects.

Carl Gustav Jung

The term Jung’s Analytical Psychology is used to differentiate this field from Adler’s Individual Psychology, and from Freud's Psychoanalysis. On the other hand, the activity of analysts on either of these approaches is called Deep Psychology on the grounds that all of them deal in their studies with the unconscious.
