According to psychiatrist Carl Jung, archetypes are innate universal psychic dispositions that form the substrate from which the basic symbols or representations of unconscious experience emerge. According to Jung there are four universal archetypes: Mother, Rebirth, Spirit, and Trickster (or Devil).[1] §→"The archetype is a tendency to form such representations of a motif - representations that can vary a great deal in detail without losing their basic pattern ... They are indeed an instinctive trend".[2] Thus for example "the archetype of initiation is strongly activated to provide a meaningful transition ... with a 'rite of passage' from one stage of life to the next":[3] such stages may include being parented, initiation, courtship, marriage and preparation for death.[4]

Carl Jung created the archetypes which “are ancient or archaic images that derive from the collective unconscious” These are also known as "innate universal psychic dispositions that form the substrate from which the basic symbols or representations of unconscious experience emerge." These are different from instinct as Jung saw an instinct as “an unconscious physical impulse toward actions and the archetype as the psychic counterpart” (P "The archetype is a tendency to form such representations of a motif - representations that can vary a great deal in detail without losing their basic pattern ... They are indeed an instinctive trend".[2] Thus for example "the archetype of initiation is strongly activated to provide a meaningful transition ... with a 'rite of passage' from one stage of life to the next":[3] such stages may include being parented, initiation, courtship, marriage and preparation for death.[4]    There are many different archetypes and Jung has stated they are limitless in amount, but to simplify this complex subject many have broken it down into a few main and specific archetypes.  These include the persona, the shadow, the anima, the animus, the great mother, the wise old man, the hero, and the self. The great mother, wise old man and the hero tend to be considered add on from the basic 4, but are still considered in the main ones. This is stated in Jung’s map of the soul everything is covered, but those. The archetypes can be used for a sense of understanding as well as for a state of treatment ,  It has been used from psychotherapy to use in developmental teaching "The archetype is a tendency to form such representations of a motif - representations that can vary a great deal in detail without losing their basic pattern ... They are indeed an instinctive trend".[2] Thus for example "the archetype of initiation is strongly activated to provide a meaningful transition ... with a 'rite of passage' from one stage of life to the next":[3] such stages may include being parented, initiation, courtship, marriage and preparation for death.[4]
