Carl Jung was a violent psychopath read on..

June 2, 1910, Dear Professor Freud I was amazed by your news, the adventure with "Schottlander" is marvelous, of course the slimy bastard was lying.

I hope you roasted, flayed and impaled the fellow with such genial ferocity that he got a lasting taste for once of the effectiveness of psychoanalysis, I subscribe to your final judgment with all my heart.

Such is the nature of these beasts, since I could read the filth in him from his face I would have gone for his throat, I hope to God you told him all the truths so plainly that even his hen's brain could absorb them.

Now we shall see what his next coup will be, had I been in your shoes I would have softened up his guttersnipe complex with a sound Swiss thrashing. Carl Jung Letters, the Adventure with Schottlander.

Just as churchmen got away with generations of child abuse, torture and murder, the same sh*t was underway in psychoanalysis clinics and psychiatric hospitals world wide. Link.

Just as Popes Bishops and Cardinals should have been prosecuted for outrages carried out as "Sacraments," so should Doctors [PDF] and others within the mental health field who have been up to no good since forever been hauled before the courts, Carl Jung no less!

Carl Jung did some very good analysis on many of the psychological archetypes and in what ways could they affect us. This is a very interesting concept of his.

The Shadow Archetype according to Jung is a personification of all those aspects of ourselves that aren't part of the personality. The collective unconscious can be considered part of it. So not only does it carry our destructive impulses, but also the creative aspects are part of it. Jung believed that facing those archetypes can be painful, but it is neccesary to develop a more healthy personality.
