ABSTRACT
Analytical Psychology is the name C. G. Jung gave to his approach to investigation of the psyche. He first coined the term in August 1913, framing it as an evolution out of Freud's psychoanalysis from which he was about to break. He also differentiated it from the idea of his psychiatric mentor, Eugen Bleuler of "depth psychology" fame, because he saw that as "concerned only with the unconscious". Jung moved away from classical psychoanalysis, which he saw as conflating signs with symbols, his attention increasingly turned to symbolism. As noted earlier, the symbol and its role in mediating between the unconscious and consciousness became a central tenet of his psychology. The first generation of Jungians tended to stay close to the works of the master. Since Jung's death in 1961 there has been an expansion of the community of Jungians.
