Analytical psychology was developed by

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct option is (2):
Analytical psychology, a distinct school of thought within psychology, was developed by Carl Jung. Jung was initially a protégé of Sigmund Freud but later diverged from Freud's psychoanalytic theory due to differing views, particularly concerning the emphasis on sexuality. Jung's analytical psychology focuses on the role of the unconscious, but he expanded on Freud's concept of the unconscious by introducing the idea of the collective unconscious and archetypes. He also emphasized the importance of individuation, a lifelong process of psychological growth and self-realization.

The incorrect option is (1):
Erik Erikson is known for his theory of psychosocial development, which outlines eight stages of development across the lifespan, each characterized by a unique psychosocial crisis. While Erikson's work built upon some Freudian concepts, his focus was on social and cultural influences on development, not on analytical psychology as founded by Jung.

The incorrect option is (3):
Erich Fromm was a neo-Freudian psychologist and social philosopher. He is known for his theories on the human need for connection and freedom, and his critique of modern society. His work falls under humanistic psychoanalysis, and while it shares some roots with psychoanalytic thought, it is distinct from Jung's analytical psychology.

The incorrect option is (4):
Karen Horney was another neo-Freudian psychologist who challenged some of Freud's fundamental ideas, particularly his theories on female psychology. She is known for her work on neurotic needs and basic anxiety, emphasizing social and cultural factors in personality development. Her contributions are within the field of psychodynamic theory but are not directly related to analytical psychology.
