Famous psychologist Carl Jung believed that we all have a sort of inner jin jang balance, men have a feminine anima and women have a masculine animus.
He did not believe the anima and animus were internalized relationships (parents, siblings, teachers etc) but a primary part of ourselves.
Without a strong relationship with your anima or animus you cannot have a full and healthy relationship with yourself (or members of the opposite sex).
