Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Psychology - Miscellaneous, grade: A, course: Jungian Psychology, language: English, abstract: This essay gives a short overview of some of Jung's main ideas. Like every true creative person, inspired and pursued by his internal daemon, Jung expressed the conclusions he reached intuitively as facts, without burdening himself with proving them in the purely scientific manner. This does not mean that he did not test them in his own life or with his patients; it just means that whether they fit into what was considered scientific was not his main concern. Such a stance, as well as his interest in what is still considered a non-scientific field of alchemy or religion, are some of the reasons he was considered by a part of the 20th century scientific community as a non-scientist, the reason why his books in the present day can be found in bookshops under Occultism, and the reason he cannot be read by the Eastern Orthodox Christians residing in monasteries.
