Answer 2

Everyone knows nowadays that people "have complexes." What is not so well known, though far more important theoretically, is that complexes can have us. The existence of complexes throws serious doubt on the naive assumption of the unity of consciousness, which is equated with "psyche," and on the supremacy of the will. Every constellation of a complex postulates a disturbed state of consciousness. The unity of consciousness is disrupted and the intentions of the will are impeded or made impossible. Even memory is often noticeably affected. The complex must therefore by a psychic factor which, in terms of energy, possesses a value that sometimes exceeds that of our conscious intentions, otherwise such disruptions of the conscious order would not be possible at all. And in fact, an active complex puts us momentarily under a state of duress, of compulsive thinking and acting, for which under certain conditions the only appropriate term would be the judicial concept of diminished responsibility.

Answer 3

Archetypes were first discussed by Carl Jung. It's a beliefe that humans share a collective unconscience. That even though we may come from different cultures or time periods, we all recognize basic symbols as having the same meaning. For example, a snake is seen as a sign of evil in most cultures, and red is recognized as a color representing passion. These are both archetypes. I recommend the book The Hero with A Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell. Also anything by Carl Jung.

I guess what you meant was 'archetypes'

An archetype is a generic, idealized model of a person, object or concept from which similar instances are derived, copied, patterned or emulated. In psychology, an archetype is a model of a person, personality or behavior.
