    Whereas Freud was for the most part concerned with the morbid effects of unconscious repression, Jung was more interested in the manifestations of unconscious expression, first in the dream and eventually in all the more orderly products of religion and art and morals.

    Why am I forc’d, like Heav’n, against my mind,

    Beware the Fury of a Patient Man.
