Freud and Jung: Two Paths to the Soul

They began as the father and son of psychology. They ended as bitter adversaries. Their questions remain ours.Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung founded depth psychology together; their break split twentieth-century psychology into two camps that still distrust each other. This book recounts that intellectual tragedy and asks: Who was right? And what happens when both answers are thought together?Freud saw the dream as a disguised wish, Jung as a message from the unconscious. Freud called religion an illusion, Jung the natural function of the soul. Freud read suffering as a conflict of drives, Jung as a call to wholeness.A clear, chapter-by-chapter guide with a glossary of both schools' key terms, for anyone who wants to understand what depth psychology knows about the human soul. No prior knowledge required."Read only Freud and you see the drive. Read only Jung and you see the soul. Read both and you see the whole human being."
