"This work sprang originally from my need to define the ways in which my outlook differed from Freud’s and Adler’s. In attempting to answer this question, I came across the problem of types. For it is one’s psychological type which from the outset determines and limits a person’s judgement.”- Carl Jung.

“I have chosen the term ‘collective’ because this part of the unconsciousness is not individual but universal; in contrast to the personal psyche, it has contents and modes of behavior that are more or less the same everywhere and in all individuals.” - Carl Jung
