His work was influential in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, and religious studies
He worked as a research scientist at the famous Burghölzli hospital, under Eugen Bleuler
During this time, he came to the attention of Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis
The two men conducted a lengthy correspondence and collaborated, for a while, on a joint vision of human psychology
Freud saw the younger Jung as the heir he had been seeking to take forward his "new science" of psychoanalysis and to this end secured his appointment as President of his newly founded International Psychoanalytical Association
Jung's research and personal vision, however, made it impossible for him to bend to his older colleague's doctrine, and a schism became inevitable
This division was personally painful for Jung, and it was to have historic repercussions lasting well into the modern day
Among the central concepts of analytical psychology is individuation - the lifelong psychological process of differentiation of the self out of each individual's conscious and unconscious elements
Jung considered it to be the main task of human development
He created some of the best known psychological concepts, including synchronicity, archetypal phenomena, the collective unconscious, the psychological complex, and extraversion and introversion
