Which neo-Freudian called his approach 'analytic psychology'?

• A. Jung
• B. Adler
• C. Horney
• D. Erikson

Answer: (A)

Carl Jung labeled his approach analytic psychology after splitting from Freud, signaling a broader view of the mind beyond Freud’s emphasis on sexual drives. Jung argued that personality includes deeper structures like the collective unconscious and archetypes, and he emphasized the lifelong process of individuation—integrating opposing aspects of the psyche. This naming marks a distinct theoretical path from Freudian psychoanalysis, focusing on meaning, symbolism, and the self’s growth. The others developed their own labeled theories—Adler’s individual psychology, Horney’s psychoanalytic social theory, and Erikson’s psychosocial development—without using the term analytic psychology.
