ABSTRACT
The same argument could be applied to his assumption of identity or very great similarity between childhood, primitive and psychotic thinking, even though it seemed clear that some kind of non-logical, affectively determined thought existed, such as Jung, and Freud with his primary and secondary processes, had described. The charge of being excessively molar could also be brought against Jung’s handling of mental energy, the opposites and psychological types, especially the formulation, ‘determination by object or by subject’, and it seemed a further weakness that attempts to introduce precision, notably in psychological types, had come from other schools. The lack of co-ordination between these accounts had been mentioned previously as something of a drawback, but by and large Jung appeared to have in mind the development of a type of personality which maintained toward its own experiences a balance between participation and detachment similar to that taken by the physician to the experience of his patients.
