Jung's Dangerous Methods


For those considering watching A Dangerous Method coming to theaters next month consider Jung For Beginner.

Carl Gustav Jung, second only to Freud in the world of psychoanalysis, is considered the first modern psychiatrist to view the human psyche as "by nature religious" and make it the focus of exploration. Jung recommended the use of spirituality as a cure for alcoholism and is considered to have an indirect role in Alcoholics Anonymous. Jung also proposed the use of art therapy to alleviate trauma and emotional distress. He taught us that psychology and religion can not only coexist peacefully together, but that they can enhance us, inspire us, and help us complete ourselves.

Freud, for all of his brilliance, reduced us to little more than vessels of hormones with high IQs. Jung, for all of his flaws, gave us back our souls. Learn more about Jung and his works with Jung For Beginners.
