In
analytical psychology, the
personal unconscious is
Carl Jung's term for the
Freudian unconscious, as contrasted with the Jungian concept of the
collective unconscious. Often referred to by him as "No man’s land," the personal unconscious is located at the fringe of
consciousness, between two worlds: "the exterior or spatial world and the interior or psychic objective world" (Ellenberger, 707). As
Charles Baudouin states, "That the unconscious extends so far beyond consciousness is simply the counterpart of the fact that the exterior world extends so far beyond our visual field" (Ellenberger, 707).
