In summary, the self includes both the conscious and unconscious mind, and it unites the opposing elements of psyche—male and female, good and evil, light and dark forces. These opposing elements are often represented by the yang and yin (see Figure 4.2), whereas the self is usually symbolized by the mandala. This latter motif stands for unity, totality, and order—that is, self-realization. Complete self-realizatio is seldom if ever achieved, but as an ideal it exists within the collective unconscious of everyone. To actualize or fully experience the self, people must overcome their fear of the unconscious; prevent their persona from dominating their personality recognize the dark side of themselves (their shadow); and then muster even greate courage to face their anima or animus.

Adler reveal that the opposite appears to be true: Freud was personally somewhat in troverted, in tune to his dreams and fantasy life, whereas Adler was personally extraverted, feeling most comfortable in group settings, singing songs and playing the piano in the coffeehouses of Vienna. Yet Jung held that Freud’s theory was extraverted because it reduced experiences to the external world of sex and aggression Conversely, Jung believed that Adler’s theory was introverted because it emphasized fictions and subjective perceptions. Jung, of course, saw his own theory as balanced, able to accept both the objective and the subjective. '
