Jung objected to Freud’s emphasis on sexual impulses and believed that a number of other instincts were equally important. He stressed the importance of man’s goals and aspirations.
Jung’s theory of personality borders on the mystical. He went beyond Freud’s idea of a personal unconscious and proposed a collective unconscious, which consists of all the memories and patterns of behaviour inherited from man’s ancestral past. All human beings have the same collective unconscious, which predisposes them to act in certain ways. The collective unconscious is the residue that accumulates as the result of repeated experiences over many generations; it is separate from the personal experiences of the individual.
