Yet another juicy title! From a review written in The New York Times:

Freud and Jung represent the twin therapeutic impulses of the modern age: neurotic self-scrutiny versus New Age spiritual redemption. Freud, the essential Enlightenment figure, meant for psychoanalysis to free man from the elements (the unconscious, superstition) that deprived him of autonomy. Jung, the German Romantic, for whom individuation meant returning to the archaic and the mystical, complained that Freud’s biological theories excluded the very Dionysian, polygamous spirituality essential to the fully realized life. Freud wrote about sex; Jung had it.

This review for Jung: A Biography provides a delicious glimpse into the complex origin and work of this influential man. The reviewer, Robert Boynton, writes, “It will be praised by scholars, read by the general public and loathed by the partisans — just as a good biography should be.”
