Describe Jung’s concepts of the personal unconscious and collective unconscious.
What will be an ideal response?
Jung combined the Freudian notions of the preconscious and the unconscious into the
personal unconscious, which consists of experiences that had either been repressed or
simply forgotten—any material from a person’s lifetime that for one reason or another
is not in consciousness. The collective unconscious, which Jung considered to be the
deepest and most powerful component of the personality, contains the common
experiences that humans have had through the eons. Jung believed that these common
experiences are recorded and inherited as predispositions to respond emotionally to
certain categories of experience.
