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.
One of the best definitions of an archetype with a different definition would be that of a commune. Why would a commune be considered an archetype? Because those living within the walls and grounds of a commune are often considered to have a collective consciousness, all living in the same manner, with the same beliefs and interests.
These elements can often vary a great deal depending on therapist and client. While Jung believes in other archetypes, he sees these two as the most common. A statement with which most other psychoanalysts and therapists agree. Although, at times it may be necessary to incorporate other archetypes to get to the brunt of a specific issue, or problems related to behavior patterns.
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.
While the recent show Utopia, which was to have aired for a year showing the development of such a society, the show was canceled almost as quickly as it began. Most likely due to the fact that the directors and producers overlooked the issue and incorporated making money into part of the program. When in reality, a true Utopia, would not have the need for money if the group really had the ability to develop a self-sustaining and self-sufficient community.
Some individuals creating these communities go so far as to have individuals take different positions with regards to running the household and doing various chores. While most often all food, and drink comes from the farm, there may be times when trips to the city are warranted, though if a group is truly self-sufficient, these trips will be few and far between.
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.
