Chapter 3—Carl Jung: Analytical Psychology

MULTIPLE CHOICE

1.Jung’s view of personality differs from Freud’s in that Jung:

ANS: A

PTS: 1

A-HEAD: Introduction

REF: 82

FEEDBACK: A significant point of difference between Jung’s view and Freud’s view of personality revolved around the unconscious. Rather than minimizing the role of the unconscious Jung placed an even greater emphasis on it than Freud did. He probed more deeply into the unconscious and added an entirely new dimension: the inherited experiences of all human and even prehuman species.

2.Jung’s theory is concerned with:

ANS: A

PTS: 1

A-HEAD: Introduction

REF: 82

FEEDBACK: He probed more deeply into the unconscious and added an entirely new dimension: the inherited experiences of all human and even prehuman species. Although Freud had recognized the influence of inherited primal experiences, Jung made it the core of his system of personality.

3.Carl Jung’s childhood experiences included:

ANS: D

PTS: 1

A-HEAD: The Life of Jung (1875–1961)

REF: 82

FEEDBACK: Jung’s difficult and unhappy childhood years were marked by deaths and funerals, neurotic parents in a failing marriage, religious doubts and conflicts, bizarre dreams and visions, and a wooden doll for his only companion. Although kind and tolerant, Jung’s father experienced periods of moodiness and irritability and failed to be the strong authority figure his son needed. Jung’s mother was by far the more powerful parent, but her emotional instability led her to behave erratically.

4.Jung’s early life was characterized by:

ANS: B

PTS: 1

A-HEAD: The Life of Jung (1875–1961)

REF: 82

FEEDBACK: Jung’s difficult and unhappy childhood years were marked by deaths and funerals, neurotic parents in a failing marriage, religious doubts and conflicts, bizarre dreams and visions, and a wooden doll for his only companion.

ANS: D

PTS: 1

A-HEAD: The Life of Jung (1875–1961)

REF: 83

FEEDBACK: Jung’s loneliness is reflected in his theory, which focuses on the inner growth of the individual rather than on relationships with other people. In contrast, Freud’s theory is concerned more with interpersonal relationships, perhaps because Freud, unlike Jung, did not have such an isolated and introverted childhood.

6.Jung broke from Freud’s concepts because:

ANS: A

PTS: 1

A-HEAD: The Life of Jung (1875–1961)

REF: 84

FEEDBACK: Jung had his own ideas and unique view of the human personality, and when he began to express these notions to Freud, it became inevitable that they would part. They severed their relationship in 1913.

7.How did Carl Jung overcome his neurotic disturbance, which later influenced his theory of personality?

ANS: B

PTS: 1

A-HEAD: The Life of Jung (1875–1961)

REF: 85

FEEDBACK: Jung overcame his neurotic disturbance by confronting his unconscious through the exploration of his dreams and fantasies. Out of Jung’s confrontation with his unconscious he fashioned his approach to personality. Jung established his theory on an intuitive base, which derived from his personal experiences and dreams.

8.Identify an area of disagreement between Jung and Freud.

ANS: D

PTS: 1

A-HEAD: Psychic Energy: The Basis of Jung’s System

REF: 86

FEEDBACK: One of the first points on which Jung disagreed with Freud involved the nature of libido.

Jung did not believe that libido was primarily a sexual energy; he argued instead that it was a broad, undifferentiated life energy.

9.Jung considered libido as:

ANS: A

PTS: 1

A-HEAD: Psychic Energy: The Basis of Jung’s System

REF: 86

FEEDBACK: To Jung, libido meant a broader and more generalized form of psychic energy. Jung did not believe that libido was primarily a sexual energy; he argued instead that it was a broad, undifferentiated life energy.

ANS: B

PTS: 1

A-HEAD: Psychic Energy: The Basis of Jung’s System

REF: 86

FEEDBACK: Jung used the term libido in two ways: first, as a diffuse and general life energy, and second, from a perspective similar to Freud’s, as a narrower psychic energy that fuels the work of the personality, which he called the psyche. It is through psychic energy that psychological activities such as perceiving, thinking, feeling, and wishing are carried out.
