Jung: Positive Aspects

Collective unconscious to explain some societal effects

Encourages non-empirical analysis people are not machines
Acceptance that many people do have strong beliefs in spiritualism and to access their
psychology may require the utilisation of a similar world-view ie utilisation of their belief
system
Introduction of dominant modalities
Multiple categorisation / characterisation lending itself easily to image generation
Tests to determine personality and encouragement of self-awareness (because they do not
assign good / bad labels)
The archetypes reflect some fundamental aspects of human psychology
Emphasised differentiation between child and adult development - children seek diversity adults seek integration
Broadness of interpretation - consideration of the whole itself rather than examining only the
components in isolation - free association analysis - anything can mean anything
Introversion & extroversion - now popular terms
Complexes - the idea that issues can converge and develop an existence of their own
Principle of opposites which can be used to explain that it is normal for every wish to suggest
its opposite
