Extract

In reading about Jungian theory and psychotherapy (for the two are inextricably intertwined, far more so than in orthodox Freudian theory) I find myself, as an academic, rather than practitioner, beset by two conflicting feelings: on the one hand I am sometimes carried away by the profundity of the ideas, the realization that truly important human topics are dealt with: on the other I am jolted into disbelief, by the lack of critical evidence, by the looseness of the language and the ultimate irrefutability of the concepts. My suggestions for readings reflect this conflict.
