ABSTRACT
This chapter highlights the experiences of Jung's early development in his family environment, as described by himself and biographers. It explores the development of Jung's complex doctrine from his own works. The chapter focuses on the ideas, which influence the subsequent development of Jung's approach to psychology. In the dissertation, Jung demonstrates his formative ideas of how these "psychic complexes" are accompanied by feelings of strangeness. It is important to note that Jung's idea of personality encompasses far greater depths than affectivity, and that the personality is differentiated from the psyche. Most of the complexes, as Jung perceived them, were in a state of repression because of their unconsciousness, autonomy, as well as personal intimacy. The autonomy of the complex indicates that they have roots in the body and behave as "little secondary psyches". The development of the emotional complex within the field of complex psychology is intimately linked with Jung's early life and traumas.
