collective unconscious are
called "Archetypes"

not born "clean slates". He
thought we came into this
world with certain pre-

driven by archetypes or

development of the personality

external world of things, other
people, and activities.

reaction we elicit in
other people

consciousness by ego
because they are
inconsistent with one’s
self-image

incompatible with identity
 man’s inner feminine (anima)
 woman’s inner masculine (animus)
 Man possessed by Anima is moody
and emotional
 Woman possessed by animus is
opinionated and power hungry
 projection of anima and animus

12. PERSONAL UNCONSCIOUS

shadow, anima and
animus

consciousness
 Need to integrate all
