Jungian psychoanalysis

Psychiatry
A form of psychoanalysis developed by Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961), who trained with Freud but subsequently formed his own school of psychoanalysis. In contrast to Freud—for whom a person’s past, in particular those of psychosexual development, serves as the substrate for all future events—Jung viewed the mind as a result of past experiences and future expectation. Jungian psychoanalysis guides the patient to merge his or her personal unconscious mind with that of the “collective unconscious”.
Psychoanalysis differs from psychotherapy in that the former is more formal, intense and concerned with early sexuality and events of infancy, which may or may not be remembered as they actually occurred (as in the “false memory” phenomenon).
