Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss born psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, journalist, inventor, a prolific writer and the founder of analytical psychology. His work has been influential not only in psychiatry but also in anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, and religious studies. He considered the concept of individuation to be the main task of human development and is best known for some of the psychological concepts like synchronicity, archetypal phenomena, the collective unconscious, the psychological complex, and extraversion and introversion.
