Analytical psychology, founded by Carl Jung after his 1912 break from Freud, replaces sexual instinct with the collective unconscious as personality's central organizing force. It investigates how archetypal patterns manifest across cultures, drawing on dream material, mythology, symbolism and Jung's concept of synchronicity, and diversified into classical, developmental and archetypal schools of Jungian thought.
