Trivia Winner from the College of Nursing!

Lara May Del Olmo, a BSN4-A student, submitted the correct answer last Saturday, July 24, 2010 at 11:29 AM.

Her answer was Carl Jung, the correct answer for the trivia question.


Carl Jung dreamt a great deal about the dead, the land of the dead, and the rising of the dead. These represented the unconscious itself -- not the "little" personal unconscious that Freud made such a big deal out of, but a new collective unconscious of humanity itself, an unconscious that could contain all the dead, not just our personal ghosts. Jung began to see the mentally ill as people who are haunted by these ghosts, in an age where no-one is supposed to even believe in them. If we could only recapture our mythologies, we would understand these ghosts, become comfortable with the dead, and heal our mental illnesses.(http://webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/jung.html)
