History of psychology, totally OK. Peterson uses him interchangably with concepts like IQ or Big Five, which is ridiculous. His ideas are more coherent w/o. Jung was a fairly accomplished mystic. Lots of interesting things to say in every other context. More than many arhats etc

Psychoanalysis and analytical psychology are nonsense - but, spoiler alert, so is every therapeutic movement, as there are no good established methods.

Peterson actually has many interesting things to say about discrete areas of psychology, but he has a nasty habit of trying to unify them.

After seeing all the stuff that gets flouted about him because of his (shit) politics, I do wonder how much his critics *actually* know about psychology, though. As far as I can tell, the answer tends to span from "a bit" to "absolutely fucking nothing", and that bothers me.
