The unconscious mind is a core concept in most psychoanalytical and psychodynamic theories, but Freud and Jung’s theories are the most developed and prominent. Your text and the required readings and media have presented the two theories. In your initial post of a minimum of 350 words, present an overview of both Freud’s theory and Jung’s theory of the role of the unconscious mind as it pertains to personality and behavior. Then compare and contrast the basic assumptions of the two theories and note the similarities and the differences as they relate to human behavior. Based on your reading and research explain which interpretation of the unconscious mind you support.
