Carl Jung was a pupil of Freud until he broke away over the issue of sexuality;he did not accept that it was the most important factor in neurosis.He began his own type of psychoanalysis.When reading his books I discovered he thought that the development and separation  from others  of the individual in western society was a great thing.In the past we were defined by the groups we  belonged to,religious,family,town or country and  .He wanted us to develop our own “true self.”
That concept is now disputed by many people!.”I or me” is  not a secret core waiting to be discovered.I suppose people might identify it with the soul.Some psychoanalysts say it is to be dwelling in  our body fully and that requires care from our mothers or fathers.He also introduced the terms introvert and extravert which are now part of everyday language.Some people say that we don’t have  stable identity.We can be  introvert in one setting and extravert in another.But we do tend to be more one o than the other.
I am mildly introvert.I find too much time with people is  tiring.But I do  like to talk to people in a small group.Or one to one.I also find some people don’t like female intellectuals.But I don’t find it difficult to  talk to anyone regardless of social class,intelligence and other attributes nor do they have a problem with me
Two things are a surprise about Jung.First he has been accused of  sympathy with the Nazis as unlike Freud he was  not Jewish so he remained in Germany  during the Nazi era.He did write an article saying the Jewish psyche was not so creative as the Aryan which is ludicrous.

.Secondly he had sexual relationships with some of his patients……………..that is usually frowned upon in therapy.The client may develop powerful feelings for the therapist but this is meant to be contained  .I think it is conceivable that it might be beneficial in rare cases however  where there is a power imbalance it seems dangerously unfair.When it happens it appears to be heterosexual.I wonder what a therapist might do if he or she felt a gay patient needed a sexual experience with him or her?We don’t seem to hear much about that,do we?Would they subjugate themselves to satisfy the patient?I don’t tik so if they were not already gay  or bisexual
