The psycho-analyst, Carl Jung, postulated many theories about how the human mind works and develops, including the key concepts of:

The Self, ego, persona and shadow;

Collective unconscious, the stages of life and archetypes (the 'two-million year-old human' in all of us);

The development and 'individuation' of the human psyche into maturity;

The equilibrium between the conscious mind and the unconscious;

Preferred psychological types - introvert/extrovert, thinking/feeling, intuitive/sensational (this is the early foundation of Myers-Briggs Type Indicator - which is broadly used to help people understand how they and others can be more effective and fulfilled);

The importance of symbols, particularly in dreams.

These were applied by Jung in the context of psychotherapy and are still highly influential. I also find them enormously helpful concepts in understanding and moving forward with 'everyday' challenges which my clients face - for example, rising to leadership, self-doubt, mid-life crisis, loss of energy, hidden resources.
