    The document discusses Carl Jung's theory of archetypes and their relation to personality study. It identifies four major Jungian archetypes: 1) The persona, which represents our public image and acts as a mask that protects the ego. 2) The anima/animus, which are the unconscious feminine side in men and masculine side in women, representing ancestral experiences and impressions of the opposite sex. 3) The shadow, which contains our repressed evil and morally objectionable tendencies that we attempt to hide from ourselves and others. 4) The self, which is the central organizing principle of the psyche and gives meaning and purpose, representing who we believe ourselves to be.

    Identify and explain the different archetypes in relation to the study of personality
    Jung suggested a series of archetypes such as: the father (authority figure), the mother (nurturing), the
    wise old man (wisdom, knowledge), the hero (champion, rescuer), the trickster (troublemaker), among
    others. However, there are four (4) major Jungian Archetypes: the persona, the anima and animus, the
    shadow, and the self.
    Jung’s Theory of the Psyche Archetype-The Persona (Represents your public image). The word is,
    obviously, related to the word person and personality, and comes from a Latin word for mask. So the
    persona is the mask you put on before you show yourself to the outside world. This usually protects the
    Ego from negative images (acts like a mask). Although it begins as an archetype, by the time we are
    finished realizing it, it is the part of us most distant from the collective unconscious.
    The Anima/Animus (the feminine side of the male). The anima is the unconscious image of the
    feminine that every man has within himself. Jung wrote: ‘Every man carries with him the eternal image of
    woman. This image is fundamentally unconscious, an imprint of all the ancestral experiences of the
    female, a deposit of all the impressions ever made by woman.’.

    Animus (masculine side of the female) similar to a man, every woman carries within her the eternal image
    of a man. In the same way that man has an unconscious anima, woman has an unconscious animus which
    consists of “masculine” characteristics. This is also an active force on the woman who is unconscious of
    its presence. The way to remove the negativity of the animus and to live in harmony with him is for
    woman to differentiate between her ego and the animus instead of assuming them to be one as she
    unconsciously does. Similarly, the man has to differentiate between his ego and the anima. This is
    achieved by individuation dealt with later.
    Jung’s Theory of the Psyche Archetype-The Shadow (contains the evil side of humanity). It derives
    from our pre-human, animal past, when our concerns were limited to survival and reproduction, and when
    we weren't self-conscious. It is an archetype of darkness and repression, represents those qualities we do
    not wish to acknowledge but attempt to hide from ourselves and others. The shadow consists of morally
    objectionable tendencies as well as a number of constructive and creative qualities that we, nevertheless,
    are reluctant to face (Jung, 1951/1959a).
    Jung’s Theory of the Psyche Archetype-The Self (archetype of wholeness). The Self can be understood
    as the central organizing principle of the psyche, that fundamental and essential aspect of human
    personality which gives cohesion, meaning, direction, and purpose to the whole psyche. It is who you
    believe you are.
