Tradition

Analytical psychology

early to mid 20th century origins; continuing schools · originating in Switzerland; later international

Analytical psychology is the school of depth psychology founded by Carl Jung. It studies symbols, dreams, the unconscious, and the slow process by which a person becomes more whole. It is a psychological tradition, not a religion—though it often converses with religious imagery as material of the psyche.

Within this school, ego and Self are technical terms inside a model, not spiritual slogans borrowed from elsewhere. Dialogue with religion is interpretive: Jung reads myth and scripture as expressions of psychic life, without requiring theological assent.

For the question of who you are, analytical psychology offers a path through symbol and integration rather than through metaphysical assertion alone.

A few words worth clarifying

analytical psychology: The psychological tradition developed by Carl Jung, focused on symbols, dreams, the unconscious, and the process of becoming a more whole person.
Self (Jung): In Carl Jung’s analytical psychology, the Self is a symbol and organizing principle of psychological wholeness—larger than the everyday ego—not the same as the Advaita idea of ultimate Self.
