Letter: A few more highways and byways to mental well-being
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ANGELA Neustatter omits to mention C G Jung, a contemporary of Freud's who went on to develop his view of analysis which he named analytical psychology. This is internationally recognised and has a particularly large following in Britain.
Jungian analysts play a major role in the analytic and therapeutic world. Many work in the NHS and are involved in teaching and research. Jung's work suggests that the human psyche, like the body, it is capable of self-healing. Symptoms therefore have creative, symbolic purpose. Of equal importance is Jung's concept of the collective unconscious which is vital in helping to bridge human psychology and the diversity of modern culture.
The C G Jung Clinic provides analysis for those who cannot otherwise afford it. Generally,Jungian analysts charge pounds 25-pounds 40 per session.
