Search various references on the subjects of unconscious motivation, analytical psychology, introvert and extrovert personalities, dreams and symbolism, occultism and Eastern religions. Take detailed notes. Highlight or underline the most important data supporting your argument. Your research acts as the bedrock for a clearly defined thesis statement. Your paper consists of an abstract, introduction, literature review, methodology, discussion and conclusion.
Brainstorm a thesis statement after analysis and review of your notes. An effective thesis statement consists of your proposed argument and support for your claim. Relate your argument to the role the unconscious mind plays to cause individual suffering. Write your thesis statement on paper to view the thesis in more logical terms. Your thesis statement evolves as your paper takes shape but must maintain its fundamental characteristics.
Outline a rough sketch of your introduction that you can revise later. Offer a synopsis of the primary points in the introduction that back up your thesis statement. Reveal any background information important to the reader in the introduction. Define key terms found in the thesis. Place your thesis statement at the end of the introduction.
Build a critical view from your notes, combining theory with practice. Focus on Jung's ideas about solving psychological problems by accessing untapped strengths and resources within an individual's psyche.
Draw a diagram by writing your thesis statement in the middle of a piece of paper. Draw three to five lines that branch off the thesis statement. Write your main ideas at the end of each line. Draw other lines off the primary ones to show further ideas and to visualize how the information relates. Your diagram of main ideas represents a particular section within the paper's body.
Write each paragraph in the paper's body so that it is structurally the same as the others. Make each of your primary ideas the first sentence in your paragraphs.
Compose each supporting idea in sentence format. Omit a few lines in between each main point. Return and fill in with associated support to tie in minor thoughts. Assure every single body paragraph makes sense by itself but connects with other related paragraphs.
Prepare counter-arguments to possible refutations in the body of the paper.
Examine the order of paragraphs in your paper. The most important points remain in the first and final paragraphs, with other backup paragraphs in the mid-section of the body.
Insert terms to connect ideas and stress sentence flow. Order of difficulty, order of significance and time order logically shape thoughts. Let the reader follow your paper's flow of ideas.
Tie the Jungian thesis together by repeating the thesis statement in your conclusion. Restate the main points to strengthen supportive arguments, and focus on your perspective throughout your paper.
