He is best known for developing the concepts of the collective unconscious and archetypes. In 1912, he published "Psychology of the Unconscious," which marked a significant departure from Freud's theories and laid the groundwork for his own psychological approach. Jung's "Psychological Types," published in 1921, introduced the theory of personality types, including the widely recognized concepts of introversion and extraversion. Another major work, "Symbols of Transformation" (1952), explored the role of symbols and myths in the human psyche. Jung's innovative ideas have had a lasting influence on psychology, psychiatry, and the broader field of humanities. less
