Differences in Freud and Jung's Personality Theories

Sigmund Freud's psychosexual stages of development are a cornerstone of psychoanalytic theory, explaining how personality develops through a sequence of childhood stages that involve the gratification of basic needs. Each stage focuses on a different erogenous zone, and the way in which parents manage their child's needs can lead to certain personality types in adulthood. In contrast, Carl Jung’s theory introduces unique concepts such as archetypes and the collective unconscious, emphasizing a more spiritual and universal perspective on personality. Based on these theories, consider the implications of early childhood experiences on personality development. Which of the following statements accurately reflects the difference in focus between Freud’s and Jung’s theories?
