Bleh

That's really all I need to say about the CG Jung book, but I'm going to force myself to give a little more detail. I was disappointed because the book didn't discuss depth psychology very much, but went on and on about Jung. He was a real dog. He thought it was ok to have affairs with his patients, and basically any woman he met. Monogamy was just wrong. I could look past cheating on his wife, but fooling around with his patients is just out of line.

I think he could have used some analysis of his own. He was petty and easily angered. He was from a different era, and had oldfasioned ideas. He thought women wearing pants was obscene. He thought you got jet lag because airplanes flew so fast your soul got left behind. He just didn't impress me at all. But now I think I will go ahead and check out a biography of Freud and see it he was any better.
