| has gloss | eng: Archetypal psychology is a vein of inquiry into the psyche inaugurated in the early 1900s by Dr. Carl Gustav Jung. Dr. Jung and his followers, as well as Mircea Eliade, imagined the psychology of the archetypes from studying anthropology and archeology reports of their times, and weaving it into their understandings of the psyche. They studied how the hierarchy of ancient gods, polytheistic religions, and archetypal ideas found in tales might influence modern life with regard to soul, psyche, dreams and the Self. |
