An over life-sized bust of Carl Jung (1875–1961) Swiss psychologist and philosopher. From 1907–1912 he was closely associated with Sigmund Freud, but later moved away from Freud's mechanistic psychological model, towards one which gave the individual a more purposeful place in the universe. Jung developed the theory of the collective unconscious. Behaviour is further modified by the individual's aims and aspirations, his or her striving towards individuation. Jung, who never visited Liverpool, once had a dream about the city saying 'I found myself in a dirty, sooty city. It was night, and winter, and dark, and raining. I was in Liverpool.' He climbed up some cliffs and discovered a plateau where streets converged – which Bootle poet Peter O’Halligan decided in the 1970s must have been on Mathew Street.
