In the light of more interesting and perhaps more ancient ways of experiencing the psyche, it may be possible to successfully negotiate the poisonous stalagmites modern psychology leaves in our path.

He was born in Kesswil. Jung interpreted mental and emotional disturbances as an attempt to find personal and spiritual wholeness.
