Carl Jung

Carl Jung was born on July 26,1875 and died June 6,1961. He was often referred to as C.J. Jung was a psychiatry and psychotherapist who founded analytical psychology. His work has been influential not only in psychiastry nut also in philosophy, anthropolgy, archaeology, literature and religious studies. He was a prolific writer, though many of his work were not published until after his death. In 1908, Jung became and editor of the newly founded Yearbook for Psychoanalytical and Psychopathological Research. The following year, Jung traveled with Freud and the Hungarian psychoanalyst Sandor Ferenczi to the United Stated. In 1910, Jung became Chairman for Life of the International Psychoanalytical Association.         In the first part of Chapter 9 of Memories, Dreams, Reflections, Jung calls his past travels and there relations to dreams and understanding. In Europe, he reflects on the evolution of the psyche amongst various culturas across the ages. His dreams are again provoked to thought of life, sexuality and death. When traveling to Africa, he looks for a different perspective that means a sort of hidden truth. He has a dream there that is of violent nature and connects it to him in that his ego violently emerges superior because of his Europeanism. It seems that here he find that his own prejudices could perhaps give life to violence.
