In psychology, the collective unconsciousness (German: kollektives Unbewusstes) is a term coined by Carl Jung, referring to the belief that the unconscious mind comprises the instincts of Jungian archetypes—innate symbols understood from birth in all humans. Jung considered the collective unconscious to underpin and surround the unconscious mind, distinguishing it from the personal unconscious of Freudian psychoanalysis.
