Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung are the two most important theorists in the history of psychology. Carl Jung broke from Freud to establish analytical psychology, believing that occult phenomena influence everyone's lives. Although they both focus on common concepts such as the unconscious and ego, their views on the structure and functioning of these concepts are different. In this article, the basic theoretical differences between Freud and Jung will be examined. According to Freud, the concept of ego is the decision-making and executive organ of the personality. Id is the main center that establishes balance between the Superego and external reality and is the only region of the mind that comes into contact with the outside world. According to Jung, the concept of ego is the center of consciousness but not the core of personality. It is in a secondary position compared to the concept of self and has a more limited role according to Freud's definition. In other words, while the ego is a central actor according to Freud, the ego has a more peripheral and limited role in Jung.
