Freud's psychoanalysis, classical Adlerian psychology, Jung’s psychology, van Genneps' rites of passage, the Tantra theory as well as the diffusion theory are the main inspirational sources of Joseph Campbell's myth theory. The most important of them being the Tantra theory that according to Campbell contains and transcends all partial descriptions of the human psyche contained in depth psychology.
