"On the Conflicts of the Child's Soul" (original title "Über Konflikte der kindlichen Seele") was first published inside the "Jahrbuch fur psychoanalytische und psychopathologische foschungen" which included essays by Bleuler and Freud. It illustrates his further departure from the Freudian school of thought and his exploration into the deeper and broader aspects of the human psyche. Jung believed that children naturally gravitate towards certain symbols and myths as part of their psychological development, a perspective he would elaborate on more in his later works on the collective unconscious and archetypes. Unlike Freud, who emphasized childhood experiences and especially early sexual experiences as the dominant forces shaping the personality, Jung introduced the notion that children also possess innate ideas - precursors to his later, more refined concept of archetypes. He suggests that these are universally present and influence the child's experience of the world.
