First: That's not a stupid question at all. I think "authenticity" is one of the slipperiest elements of Heidegger - it's one of the most critiqued elements too (e.g. Adorno's "Jargon of Authenticity").

As for his disdain for psychoanalysis, there may be a few reasons. I think he found the whole enterprise superfluous. Also, he found Freud (idk about Jung) to be overly reductionistic. Heid is similar to D&G in that the present psyche/experience cannot be reduced to its isolated
-
approximate cause (e.g. the Wolfman is not to be equated with past psychological trauma). Also, Heid probably saw psychoanalysis as to prone to Cartesian demarcation. The psyche is cleaved away from its context (environmental, social, etc) & suspended in isolation over the world
-
Even if one may say that the demarcations aren't ontological or literal, he'd probably say their division of categories are also too absolute in terms of functionality as well as too static - I really don't know the extent to which this would hit Jung though
-
Oh I see, it's so clear now that like D and G he was warding off all the previous biases of western phil till that point, in western science he also found this demarcation and reification of human civilization above the space of nature (ALA agamben's work on heid)
-
Ye son. Heid is more extreme about it but that's what makes D&G interesting tho. Instead of out-righting casting social/scientific/psychological preasuppositions or reifications to the wind (á la Heid), they pick them up as tools for occasional use.
