Abstract This paper examines Kim? strategy of trying to bring North Korea and South Korea closer and of trying to make the North more open. In addition the strategy's chances for success are also discussed.
From the paper:
?Kim seems to have a good as chance as anyone is likely to to thaw the relationships between the two countries that were sundered at the end of the Korean War and in many ways still remain trapped by the kind of tensions that once enveloped much of the globe during the Cold War. His history of trying to move his country gently but firmly into the future dates from his rise to being a prominent opposition leader during the tenure of President Park Chung Hee. In 1997 he became the South Korean first opposition leader to win election to his country's presidency.?
Abstract The paper discusses Jung's relationship with Sigmund Freud and addresses the debate over whether he was a Nazi sympathizer. The paper then focuses on Jung's psychoanalytical theory and how it divides the human psyche into three basic parts. The goal of Jungian theory, the basic archetypes in his theory and Jung's guiding principles of operation for the human psyche are all identified in the paper. The paper notes that Jung based his theory of personality largely on his own subjective experiences, rather than on data obtained from objective experiments or constructs learned from reading established medical textbooks or journals.
From the Paper "The most commonly recognized name associated with modern psychology is Sigmund Freud. As a keen observer, astute record taker, and perceptive clinician and interviewer, Freud was able to build one of the most influential paradigms in modern psychology - the field of psychoanalysis. Freud's work spanned decades and through his teachings and research attracted a large number of students, many of whom became lauded independent theorists and clinicians in their own right, such as Adler, Horney, and Carl Jung. Each founded their basic ideology within the broader confines of psychoanalysis as conceived of by Sigmund Freud, but each overlaid their own unique perspectives on humanity. Perhaps the most pervasive, enlightening, and philosophical of these perspectives is that of Carl Jung, as outlaid in his Analytical Theory (also called Jungian Theory)."
Abstract This paper introduces Carl Gustav Jung's view of the meaning of life according to the person achieving individuation, awareness of the spirit and its relationship to others, whether in the collective unconscious, or simply an understanding of one's own spiritual nature. The paper shows that the problems of modernity for Jung to produce a sense of Meaninglessness had to do with Western man's loss of connection to the divine, as encouraged by industrialism, science, secularism, and ways of living that 'cut off' human beings from their natural, rather magical condition.
From the Paper "For Carl Gustav Jung, the meaning of life was very much a case of what the individual could learn about the self in relation to a spiritual or psychic mass phenomenon in the collective unconscious. The person who becomes aware of her or his soul in relation to Humanity, from there, will have no difficulty in knowing how to live life, and problems to do with meaning, or the lack of meaning, will disappear. The journey of discovery that is involved, Jung referred to as a process of individuation."
Abstract This paper discusses how each individual progresses through the social order with the expectations of conforming to religious political community and personal expectations. Religion is in theory supposed to address the spiritual needs of the individual. The paper further discusses that as religions are consistently changing in society, this is not often the case. Medicine may address the diseases and illnesses that can be scientifically detected in the patient but often times there is pain that cannot be identified as having a direct physical cause. Psychologists, such as Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, believed that as human beings progressed through life their psychological conditions would create upheaval in a way that could create physical and spiritual unrest, with no apparent cure for the ailment.
Abstract In this article the author looks at the events of 9/11 and its aftermath through the eyes of Carl Jung. He examines how Jung would have reacted to the events of 9/11. He points out that Jung believed very strongly in coincidence. But, would he have thought that 9/11 was a coincidence, something hidden in the collective unconsciousness. Maybe the unconscious beliefs of government officials, the CIA and FBI who knew that there was something going to happen, but didn't know when or where or even how. The paper goes on to describe how Jung would have categorized the different reactions of the American people after 9/11 in his terms of introvert and extrovert personalities. The author examines the different archetypes that Jung proposed in terms of 9/11. The paper concludes with the statement that even Jung would have not have been able to explain the "why?" of the terrorist attacks and what they hoped to accomplish.
From the Paper "Jung dreamt a great deal about the dead, the land of the dead, and the rising of the dead. These represented the unconscious itself -- not the "little" personal unconscious that Freud made such a big deal out of, but a new collective unconscious of humanity itself. It would be interesting to assume that the thousands who died at the World Trade Center, the Pennsylvania field and at the Pentagon were somehow part of a Jungian dream. But, while we might think of Freud and Jung as seeing psychosis in dreams, Jung was more realistic. "Jung felt that, if you want to understand the jungle, you can't be content just to sail back and forth near the shore. You've got to get into it, no matter how strange and frightening it might seem" (Boeree 1)."

From the Paper Carl Gustav Jung today stands as one of the most popular and influential psychologists whose perspectives have extended its influence well beyond the traditional confines of psychiatry. Jung's work has been criticized as being imprecise and numinous (Atkinson, 1993, p.545).
"The consequences of Jung's work have influenced significantly our way of thinking. Freudians have called Jung's theories as mysticism or religious in nature but Jung is remembered more fondly versus Freudian theories. Jung's theories have influenced motivational programs like the Alcoholics Anonymous as well as paved the way for a positivist approach in personality testing such as the popular Myer's-Briggs Test.
Jung was not afraid to study together scientific psychology and mysticism, religion and parapsychology, a traditional taboo of his field. However, because of his initiatives in this field, we are realizing more about ourselves and extending our realities. If one is to admire another for one's determination and open mindedness, then Jung certainly is a person to be admired.
Abstract This paper is written as a reflection on "Jung's Fairy Tale Interpretation and Little Red Cap". Mario Jacoby's paper on C.G. Jung and the interpretation of fairy tales stresses that both Freud and Jung, early on, explored fairy tales as part of their study, with Jung noting how human fantasy as found in fairy tales was a reflection of human creative potential.
Abstract This paper describes the concepts put forward by Carl Jung. The paper begins by discussing Jung's life and the history of his works. It describes him as a psychiatrist and founder of analytical psychology. The paper discusses the ways he used his background on Freudian theories to explore the "inner space" of the human psyche, involving mythology, religion, and philosophy into his studies and becoming an expert in mystic symbolism.

From the Paper "Socrates, Aristotle and Plato opened the floor for the study of human behavior and mental life in their philosophical discourses. The fundamental question involved what motivated man to do the thighs he does and how ideas come about. Two thousand years have passed and these questions remain the driving force behind the study of the human psyche- of Psychology."
Abstract This paper outlines the beginnings and sources for Jung's new approach to psychology. The author finds that Jung's childhood experiences and the things he saw around him everyday, greatly influenced his approach to psychology. The author believes that eventually Jung saw people no longer as individuals but as a collective group who shared the same unconscious and primitive ideas. This paper looks at Jung's dreams and his idea of archetypes and explains how he found support for these in other religions from the past.
From the Paper "Man is not an isolated figure, but lives in a world that has many facets. Being constantly immersed in a specific culture and environment is bound to affect any field of study in which one is engaged. This is true for Carl Jung and his analytic personality psychology. Throughout his life, Jung was greatly affected by many events and incidents. He strived to make sense of them in an organized manner, but it was not until later in life that he was able to fully understand the true meaning of these events. Jung brought to his work and theories personal experiences, familial relations experiences, as well as the cultural-historical ideas of his time that, combined would give Jung the foundation he needed to create his great psychological theory."
Abstract Jung comments in introducing the Book of Job that it is plain how the people of the Old Testament regarded their God. What concerned him more was the idea carried by his contemporary Christians on this subject. (1976, 527) Jung seems to be saying that Western humanity continues to be haunted by myths of a God that become angry, vindictively attack sinners and show plain preference for the virtuous. (1976, 529) The testing of Job's faith is a very serious business, as described by Jung with occasional references to scripture.
From the Paper "Jung's collaborative work, "Man and his Symbols", examines man's relationship to his own unconscious and the symbols found within. Jung believes that our unconscious communicates with us through dreams; dreams that are as individualized as we are. Thus the interpretation of dreams, is entirely personal and individual. Throughout this book, dreams are treated as direct, personal, and meaningful communications that while interpreted personally by the individual, they are also expressed through a symbolism that is common to all mankind. Jung concluded that the forms which the archetypal experience takes in each individual may be infinite in their variations, but like alchemical symbols, religious symbols, literature and art motifs, and mythical symbols, they are all variants of certain central types and they occur universally in basic motifs and themes that are only seen differently because each group, society, or culture has its own particular symbols of expression, as does each individual. "
Abstract This paper explores the psychological theories developed by Dr. Carl Jung. It shows the beginning of his career as a student and collaborator of Dr. Sigmund Freud, and his further analysis and disagreements with Freud in sexual desire thought patterns. This paper further examines Jung's analytical psychology movement, and the theories he developed drawing on myths, history, and dreams.
From the Paper "He is less well known - and less vilified - than Sigmund Freud, that other great early psychoanalytic thinker, but Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung is just as important to us as we enter the 21st century as is Sigmund Freud. It is indeed arguable that he is even more important, that his theories and models of how the human mind works are more integrated into our common assumptions about how we think and dream than is the more severe work of Freud. This paper looks at the life and work of Jung, examining how much he contributed to a deeper understanding of the nature of the human psyche and looking especially at his theory of the importance of dreams. His differences with Freud in this area are especially illuminative, allowing us to understand the principles of his models of human thought."
Abstract The paper traces the roots of Carl Jung's interest in psychology, from his studies in science to his personal feelings of connecting to something deeper within the human mind through the analysis of dreams. This self-proclaimed inner wisdom helped to define his personality theory. The writer looks into this theory and how Jung applied it to his patients.
From the Paper "Jung graduated in 1902 with a broad background in biology, zoology, paleontology and archaeology and began his work in "associations" in which a patients response to stimulus words signified what Jung called "complexes" one of his terms that are still in use today. At this time, Jung discovered the works of his mentor, Sigmund Freud. Despite the value Jung saw in Freud's work, he was not able to accept Freud's idea that repression is caused by sexual trauma. Jung published Symbols of Transformation in 1912, which challenged some of Freud's basic ideas and precluded his break with Freud. Jung began developing his theories, using his vast knowledge of mythology and history, his encounters with the diverse cultures of New Mexico, India, and Kenya, and his memories of the dreams and fantasies of his childhood (Fadiman and Frager, p. 56)."
