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.
