--Carl Gustav Jung--

Carl Gustav Jung (July 26, 1875, KesswilJune 6, 1961, Küsnacht) was a Swiss psychiatrist, an influential thinker and the founder of analytical psychology.

Jung's unique approach to psychology has been influential in countercultural movements in Europe, the United States and elsewhere since the 1960s.

He emphasized understanding the psyche through exploring the worlds of dreams, art, mythology, world religion and philosophy. Although he was a theoretical psychologist and practicing clinician, much of his life's work was spent exploring other realms, including Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, sociology, as well as literature and the arts. His most notable ideas include the concept of archetypes, the collective unconscious and synchronicity.

"Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other."

"Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically on their environment and especially on their children than the unlived life of the parent."
