Carl Jung's childhood experiences included:

a. a typically happy and peaceful Swiss family life.
b. the attention and adoration of a young and attractive mother.
c. a life of ease based on his father's success in business.
d. personal loneliness plus the marital conflicts and mental instability of his parents.


ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Jung’s difficult and unhappy childhood years were marked by deaths and funerals, neurotic parents in a failing marriage, religious doubts and conflicts, bizarre dreams and visions, and a wooden doll for his only companion. Although kind and tolerant, Jung’s father experienced periods of moodiness and irritability and failed to be the strong authority figure his son needed. Jung’s mother was by far the more powerful parent, but her emotional instability led her to behave erratically.
