Dr. Sandra Portko is a Professor of Psychology at Grand Valley State University. Dr. Portko will present a lecture on archetypes as introduced by the Swiss psychologist Carl. G. Jung. This concept emerged in his development of analytical psychology and contemporary approaches to psychological theory and practice. He used archetypes as a reference to inborn energy patterns that humans have possessed since the beginning of the human race. These "energy patterns" are not full-blown behaviors that are inherited, but rather potential responses that can be thought of as being similar to energy fields. These potential responses can be "activated" by coming in contact with certain situations. Thus, although the energy patterns are potentially accessible to every human, not every human will display all of the potential patterns.

Thank you for explaining Jung better. I'm learning things here!! Amazing he was having warnings of the impending war. I'll bet that's when he decided he was really Dominant Ni. This brought him out of his depression.

Thank you. Very clear presentation.

The archetype to complex relation like magnetic energy makes sense to me 36:00 I think calling it energy is more literal than you might think. Everything is energy.

Amazing lecture. Just a little feedback. When people in the audience ask a question it is good for the videob audience to have the question read out. E.g. "So someone just asked 'whatever whatever?'". Then answer the question. Thanks :)
