The course concludes with Carl Jung's "Analytical Psychology," which introduces concepts like the collective unconscious and archetypes, broadening the understanding of the universal aspects of human experience. This course guides students through the evolution of psychological thought, encouraging a deeper appreciation of the diverse factors that shape human perception, judgment, and self-awareness.
