Analytical or Jungian therapy is a theory that emphasises the importance of wholeness. It was derived from the work of psychiatrist Carl Jung. It is believed that the unconscious mind is the most important aspect of each individual and that making as much of the unconscious mind as possible can help with healing and the attainment of wholeness. Dreams are thought to be a part of the unconscious and that dreams show ideas, beliefs, and feelings of which individuals are not readily aware. Jungian psychotherapy aims to align conscious and unconscious thoughts. It examines the motivations that lie deep within the client’s psyche and underneath client’s conscious awareness. Jungian therapy draws on dream analysis, word associations and creative activities such as painting, drama, dance and music.
