Which two theorists who originally worked with Freud went on to found individual psychology and analytic psychology?

• A. Sigmund Freud; Carl Jung
• B. Erik Erikson; Carl Rogers
• C. Alfred Adler; Carl Jung
• D. Carl Rogers; Abraham Maslow

Answer: (C)

Two early collaborators of Freud eventually branched out to create their own approaches. Alfred Adler developed individual psychology, which emphasizes the whole person and how feelings of inferiority and the social drive for significance shape behavior and personality. Carl Jung founded analytic psychology, expanding the psyche beyond the personal unconscious to include the collective unconscious and archetypes, with a focus on meaning, symbolism, and the process of individuation. Both started in Freud’s Vienna circle, but their theories diverged in ways that moved away from Freud’s emphasis on psychosexual drives and toward these broader perspectives. The other options refer to thinkers who were not part of Freud’s early circle or who did not establish these two schools.
