I thought this was posted for it's comic value, but then I read the comments.
This is a critique of a therapy repeatedly proven empirically superior in it's efficacy to other non-pharmacological approaches. And, amazingly, it's a critique coming from what seems to be a Jungian nobody from Reno.
I say this as a huge advocate, and student of, Jung, Freud, Adler and the rest. But come on, if something helps people who can't leave the house, hold a job, or drive a car function again, without 10 years of 5 session a week therapy, how can you ethically justify attacking it this way.
CBT attempts to change negative thoughts and maladaptive behavior by addressing thoughts and behavior. Jungian therapy attempts to help people integrate elements of their psyche carried over from previous lives, an inherited collective psyche (yes Jung was a Nazi).
