...misbegotten" because his spirit is as mean and hard as the rocky Connecticut land he farms. His daughter Josie is "misbegotten" because she weighs 180 Ibs. and stands 5 ft. n, "a big, rough, ugly cow of a woman." Landlord Jim Tyrone is "misbegotten" in the catalogue of Sigmund Freud; he has an Oedipus complex...
...soul, Jung means not just a psychiatric psyche but the old-fashioned kind that might even go to heaven. He is an unabashed user of the word "spiritual," and a strong believer in the practical utility of conceptions like God and the Devil. Unlike the orthodox followers of Sigmund Freud, who attribute most of mankind's mental troubles to the sexual conflicts of infancy, Jung maintains that the religious instinct is as strong as the sexual, and that man ignores it at his peril. Though his ideas cut freely into areas traditionally assigned to the mystic, the theologian...
...Devil to scientific terms? In Jung's view, they are manifestations of age-old archetypes present in the more obscure layers of the human mind since the earliest times.

Since patients often have moral problems connected with their neurosis, "it is dangerous, and very much so, when the psychiatrist is guided . . . by the materialistic philosophy of human nature which Freud championed so ardently." The book also frowns on modern "client-centered therapy," particularly when a doctor tries to solve "religious and moral difficulties" by dissecting the patient's psyche, then letting the patient...
