ABSTRACT
Jung became a strong proponent of Freud's psychoanalysis and a practicing psychoanalyst. Jung broke with Freud in 1912 with the publication of Transformations and Symbols of the Libido, in which Jung first began to articulate what he called the collective unconscious and archetypes. During this psychological crisis, Jung experienced a series of gripping fantasies, which he later translated into scientific terms as the key concepts of his own analytical or complex psychology. At the culmination of his crisis, Jung published his influential work, Psychological Types and assumed his new identity as the founder of analytical psychology, a critic of Freud and of modern society, and a reinterpreter of Christianity through his own school of psychology. Jung's psychological theory reflects its era in which many people sought spiritual solutions to the social malaise of modern society and the political catastrophe of World War I, by returning to traditional forms of Christianity, by turning inward to the depths of their own souls.
