Well? Pick your dead guy!
It may seem a moot question, but it's interesting to me how Freud gets accorded more respect by some people, as though his ideas have acquired a level of empirical confirmation that they never actually achieved.
Neither has been proven right, really, but one seems much less ridiculous than the other.
I think its just going along with the times...in 50 years its possible Jung will look bad too. In fact he probably will, his ideas at least.
Or maybe its because this is a typology forum.
Yet we have at least one member who hates Jung with a passion (I don't know why that person hangs out here, either). I wonder if this is because that member prefers Freud (which I suspect to be the case). I also wonder if we have other disciples of Freud.

Also, Keira Knightley's overacting notwithstanding, I enjoyed A Dangerous Method.

Jung, but if it weren't for Freud, Jungian psychology as we know it may not even exist. Jung's reasons for creating typological systems were in part due to his need to explain his disagreements with Freud... funny how things work. Overall I'm choosing Jung because I think his work is the product of a painstaking level of inquiry and introspection; I can respect that level of dedication. However, I also think both of them are extremely overrated.
There's a lot, lot more to Jung than typology.
If you're talking about Victor I always assumed it was just Victor's whole hatred of religion and religiosity extended to Jung because he wasnt an atheist like Freud.
