Freud and Jung are to modern therapeutic culture what Marx was to modern communism: examples of how false ideas in the guise of science can transform entire cultures. https://twitter.com/benwinegard/status/1300437728320946177?s=21 …

Jung pilfers ideas from mythology and culture to decorate an underlying psychoanalytical conceit. Best thing to read is Rieff’s Triumph of the Therapeutic. He described Jung as a protege of Freud who repackaged Freud in a way that made it popular. Freud never forgave him.

Yeah, Christopher Lasch references Rieff quite a bit in his work; always been on my list, but will now move it up! It's been 15 years since I read Jung. Might look at it differently now.
