His ideas not only transformed the way psychologists understand the human psyche, but also had a profound impact on philosophy, literature, religion, art, and even popular culture. While many scholars and therapists focused on the measurable and rational aspects of human behavior, Jung ventured into a territory that, in his time, seemed almost mystical…
