Carl Jung

Carl Gustav Jung (/jʊŋ/; German: [ˈkarl ˈɡʊstaf jʊŋ]; 26 July 1875 – 6 June 1961), often referred to as C. G. Jung, was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who founded analytical psychology. His work has been influential not only in psychiatry but also in philosophy, anthropology, archaeology, literature, and religious studies. He was a prolific writer, though many of his works were not published until after his death.

The central concept of analytical psychology is individuation—the psychological process of integrating the opposites, including the conscious with the unconscious, while still maintaining their relative autonomy. Jung considered individuation to be the central process of human development.

Jung created some of the best known psychological concepts, including the archetype, the collective unconscious, the complex, and extraversion and introversion.

Biography

Early years

Childhood family

Carl Gustav Jung was born in Kesswil, in the Swiss canton of Thurgau, on 26 July 1875 as the second and first surviving child of Paul Achilles Jung and Emilie Preiswerk. Emilie was the youngest child of Samuel Preiswerk and his wife. The senior Preiswerk was a wealthy professional man who taught Paul Achilles Jung as his professor of Hebrew. Jung's father was a poor rural pastor in the Swiss Reformed Church; his mother had grown up in a wealthy Swiss family.

Tilo Jung

Tilo Jung (born October 21, 1985 in Malchin, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) is a German journalist and chief editor of the political webshow Jung & Naiv (Young & Naive).

Life and work

While completing his education, Tilo Jung worked temporarily as a reporter for the regional daily newspaper Nordkurier.

In 2006 he moved to Berlin, enrolling to study business and law at Humboldt University. In 2011 he started his career as a journalist interviewing and editing coverage for the radio show Medienmagazin on radioeins, hosted by Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg.

The general debate about political apathy inspired him to create a new concept for a political talk show called Jung & Naiv with the tagline "Politics for the Indifferent". The ambience of the interview is informal, the conversation unrestricted by time or script, and guests are asked to avoid using jargon.

Initially, Jung published uncut interviews on his YouTube channel. The German commercial television station Joiz.Germany began to broadcast episodes of Jung & Naiv six months later, but stopped in November 2014 when the station became insolvent. Notable guests on Jung's show were politicians and journalists, including Peer Steinbrück, Jürgen Trittin,Heiko Maas, Jeremy Scahill and Glenn Greenwald.

Schulz went to school in Broich (now Würselen). Originally dreaming of a career as football player, a severe injury to his knee put a hold on his youthful ambitions.

Besides German, he speaks some English, French, Spanish, Italian and Dutch.
