Who put forward the collective subconscious?
Carl Gustav Jung.

Jung emphasized the integrity of psychological structure and put forward the concept of "collective subconscious". He also believes that personality structure consists of three levels: consciousness (self), individual subconscious (complex) and collective subconscious (prototype), which is different from Freud's formulation. The difference between collective unconsciousness and individual unconsciousness is that it is not a forgotten part, but something we have never realized.

Jung used the metaphor of islands, and those islands above the water are the consciousness that people can perceive; The part of the ground below the water surface exposed by the tide is personal unconsciousness; The bottom of the island is the seabed as the base, which is our collective subconscious. 196 1 passed away in Switzerland on June 6th. His theory and thoughts still have a far-reaching impact on psychological research.

Personal subconscious

"Personal subconscious" is the second layer of personality structure, which plays a greater role than consciousness. It includes all forgotten memories, perceptions and repressed experiences, as well as dreams and fantasies. Jung believed that the content of personal unconsciousness is complex. Complex is often emotional, and it is an unconscious cluster formed by a group of repressed psychological contents, such as father-loving complex, critical complex and power complex.
