While Jung may have led the force with regards to those creating and using archetypes in the past, there are also several other great thinkers like Freud and Erickson of past and present who have taken, or continue to take similar measures. Still, ARCHETYPES JUNG, or Jungian archetypes as most are known are essential aspects in discovering the modes behind certain types of behavior, and behavioral issues.
The term archetype, is derived from study related to modern philosophical and psychological theories. It can have one of several meanings. The most popular being associated with literary analysis, or research. A good example in which this type archetype can be useful is in that of solving crimes, or in film and television with relation to to the writers and directors of comedies, dramas, mysteries, suspense thrillers and many other genres.
The basic definition is that of a pattern, or statement, often used in the process of identifying issues related to behavior, and behavior modification. Archetype can also be defined as a "collective consciousness." Although, this should not be confused with brainwashing. For example, while Charles Manson believed his group had a collective conscious, in reality most were simply being brainwashed by Manson to take actions most would have not taken otherwise.
When it comes to Jung, these elements can vary a great deal. For Jung sees archetypes as "child, " and "wise old men, " archetypes being the two most common. Thus, essentially "innocence, " and "experience, " to some extent, at least in the eyes of those whom have studied Jungian Psychology.
Although collective consciousness also has a place within the definition of an archetype, the term is rarely used. Also, while a collective consciousness can exist among people of like mind, body and spirit, brainwashing can also be mistaken when multiple people are brainwashed at the same time by the same person, group or organization.
A good example of this is that of Charles Manson, a serial killer who brainwashed his followers to do horrid criminal acts, in which he landed a home in what some may call the intentional community of death row, with only one or two of the others having been freed on parole since the crimes were committed in 1969.
Often, these communities are subgroups of other organizations and groups with which most relate. For example, a group of dancers have recently established an intentional community in upstate New York. While there are many communities now evolving all over the world which will include residents of like body, mind and spirit. Most of which will be self-sustaining with residents providing all services, and bartering with other residents for food, drink, etc.
Unfortunately, it has yet to be determined if these "intentional communities" will succeed over time. Some have had the same betters for years, while others see individuals come and go on a regular basis. It is no doubt that this may be the case in the beginning of most of these communities as it can often take a great deal of acceptance and tolerance to live with other people as a family, whether by chance or choice.
