Description

Jung worked through 67,000 dreams with his own patients before solidifying his theory of dreams as the mirror of the collective unconscious. In this program, Jung moves forward in his search for the roots of his conflict with Freud, and in the process formulates major theories: psychological types (extroversion/introversion), and the concept of the individual psyche as a self-regulating system. We follow Jung through the jungles of Africa and deserts of Egypt as he reaffirms the concept of the collective unconscious through myths and legends of primitive people. A discussion of archetypes stresses the necessity for female values and virtues in a male-dominated society. A BBC Production.
