Types of Women by Jung

In ordinary life, one can often hear complaints from both men and women about how difficult it is for them to understand each other. Representatives of the stronger sex often admit that they are not able to explain the female nature. In order to avoid conflicts, which are often the result of misunderstanding, a man should study the character of his beloved. Perhaps it will be useful for him to know certain types of women in order to be able in the future to adapt to his girlfriend and find real happiness in family relationships.

There are several classifications, including in accordance with the ancient Indian text "Kama Sutra". The Indian philosopher Vatsyayana Mullanaga (author of "Kama Sutra") distributes "female roles" according to physical characteristics, desires and emotional reactions.

An interesting classification is the club types of women (among them a socialite, a seasoned veteran, an inexperienced novice, an escort girl). Nowadays, a completely new female "breed" has appeared. This woman is financially independent, more interested in visiting fashion stores and cosmetics, in cars than in household chores, is somewhat selfish, and a man in general can only be seen as an object for sexual exploitation.

Classification is recognized as classical according to Jung’s psychology, in which the following archetypes of women are considered.

1. Mother woman.

This type asserts itself as a person and finds satisfaction, fully devoting himself to raising his children. More often, children are more worthy objects for her than her husband. It plays a large role in the life of the child, but there is a negative point from the excessive attention. She unknowingly suppresses their growing up. “Mother” more often and her husband chooses infantile (husband-child).

A woman with a complex of mothers who, as if unable to tear her baby from her breast, jeopardizes the development of his personality. Having matured and married, he will always seek the help of his mother in resolving family problems, which will always be happy to come to his rescue. And in the inevitable quarrels between the mother and wife, the man will try to blame the spouse.

2. Female getters.

The term “geter” comes from the ancient Greek word meaning courtesan, highly educated, experienced in love partner.

“Heterosexuals” psychologically can be good wives or cohabitants. “Geter” asserts itself if she is able to live in harmony with a man. Relationships may be characterized by aspects of sexuality, but not necessarily only by them. First of all, there must be a deep psychological contact between partners. She does not love sex as much as it might seem; on the contrary, she is relaxed, energetic in communication, friendly interactions, she will never ask for “eternal love” and deep relationships. A man understands that such a woman is too independent in behavior and can easily go to another.

3. The Amazon woman.

A type characterized by special activity in the outside world. Nowadays, a Amazon woman can be called a special social type, known as a business woman. She is happy to devote herself to a career, sacrifices many things for her sake. "Amazons" can be scientists, well-known doctors, hold leadership positions. But there is a drawback: trying to be strong, energetic, they often lose touch with their feminine nature.

4. The female medium.

Like other types of women, this one is easy to identify in any community. Its representatives can be psychics, mystics, palmists, etc. Usually such women are looked with some suspicion, since the areas to which they devote themselves radically differ from what is visible in everyday life.

But, according to Jung’s psychology, a female medium expresses herself when she is a mediator between a person and his subconscious level.

It is clear that the types of women mothers and heterosexuals are characterized by all female qualities, they want maximum attention to themselves, they need relationships with other people, while “Amazons” and “mediums” tend to aspire to society, more important for them is impersonal contact (with the psychological world).
