ScnMaster
Carl Gustav Jung (1875 - 1961), Swiss psychologist; one of the main psychiatric authorities of his time. He differed with Freud in regarding the libido (energy or driving force) as a will to live rather than a manifestation of the sex instinct, and holding that a neurosis is to b e understood more by analysis of the patient's present problem and inadequate "adjustment" than by unearthing childhood fixations and conflicts. He laid tremendous stress on Druidism and wrote a great deal about it. See also Druids in this glossary. SHSBC Binder 11 Approved Glossary
