Title: hogwash
Review: We know now what we didn't back in the '60s and '70s: this 'autobiography' is more creative writing than historical fact, and it wasn't written by Jung but by one of the many disciples assigned the task of creating a mystique of sainthood around a deeply troubled individual.The carefully crafted presence of Wise Old Man Jung is artful, a mix of hero-worship, hagiography, and new age religion. More recent scholarship paints a different picture: a monumental temper (often violent, directed against clients); sexual relationships with psychiatric inpatients; bizarre family relationships. The motto: don't believe everything you read from the 'autobiography' shelf, and don't get conned into this pseudo-psychology.
