单项选择题
Carl Jung’s well-documented break with Sigmund Freud occurred because of Jung’s inability and unwillingness to accept Freud’s view of the libido as the sexual drive of fulfillment. Believing that the libido, or the urge towards life, extended beyond mere sexuality to a hypothetical elan vital, or life energy itself, Jung stressed a widened consciousness whereby the individual seeks to reconcile the opposites of his or her libidial nature that dwell in the conscious as well as the personal and collective unconscious.
Jung defines this consciousness, moreover, as the center of the ego, and the personal unconscious as a repository of repressed personal experiences or complexes that must be made conscious. Finally, the collective unconscious is an archive of hereditary symbolic archetypes that express themselves in dreams, fantasies, and actions, and must also be made conscious. Jung postulated that these archetypal patterns must be integrated into the world of the ego, which is then forced to acknowledge for these reasons that the egocentered consciousness is not really self-sufficient and does not exist independently and alone, but is guided by an integrating factor not of its own making.
