Jung /'yu[ng],/ Carl Gustav (1875–1961), Swiss psychologist and psychiatrist. Jung founded the variation in psychoanalysis known as analytic psychology. For atime he was associated with Sigmund Freud, but gradually he modified Freud's methods, putting less emphasis on sex. Eventually he broke with Freud over the question of the nature of libido and trauma.He introduced and developed the idea that there are two fundamental types of human beings, the introvert and the extrovert. Later he differentiated four functions of the mind: thinking, feeling,sensation, and intuition. In any given person one or more of these functions will predominate.
