Jung, Carl G., the Swiss-born psychologist and psychiatrist who is known as the founder of analytic psychology. Jung attached importance to the analysis and interpretation of aspects of an individual’s dreams and fantasies. Jung’s view of the dynamics of personality represented an attempt to interpret human behavior from a philosophic, religious, and mystical, as well as scientific, perspective. In Jung’s work titled Psychological Types, published in 1921, he proposed the personality types of introversion and extroversion and the four mental processes or functions of thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition.
