| | Key Concepts in the Psychology of Carl G Jung |
 | | Jung saw each human being as having a specific nature and calling which is uniquely his or her own, and unless these are recognized and fulfilled through a union of conscious and unconscious, the individual can become dysfunctional and feel mentally unwell (see neurosis, below). |
 | | Jung believed that this is as real in the psyche as the biological strands of evolution are in the body, and that it influences all of our experiences and behaviors, most especially the emotional ones. |
 | | Psychological Types: Jung found that while the fundamental “structure” and operation of human personalities are the same, people differ in certain ways based upon, first, their attitude or orientation to the world outside themselves, and, second, based upon their preferred or natural way of exercising some basic mental functions. |
