Analytical psychology

From Wikinfo

Analytical Psychology is a school of Depth Psychology based upon the movement started by Carl Jung and his followers as distinct from the (at the time) Freudian-dominated psychoanalysis. It is based on the concept that we are not aware of our personal unconscious and its comcomitant forces and processes. Moreover, Jung also identified a Collective unconscious.

Analytical Psychology distinguishes several psychological types or temperaments.
