Adams begins his tale with an epigraph from Jung: "Superstition and accident manifest the will of God." Perhaps, but not here. The author spins out his romance entertainingly, but without dealing seriously with the questions he raises: of belief and its perversion, of authority and its corruption. Good as he is at nature walks, Adams does not venture far into the forests of the mind...
THIS SOFTER VIEW of Freud makes some of the turmoil of the early psychoanalytic movement more reasonable. Freud's dramatic break with Jung over infantile sexuality was more than a disagreement between two men who shared a penchant for scientific heresy. The rivalry had been building to an icy separation for years, with Freud at first uncritically embracing his bright new supporter, then burdening him with the administration of the International Psychoanalytic Association, and finally resenting even Jung's greater physical stature. In a photograph taken at the Weimar Congress in 1911. Freud at five foot seven seems taller than...
Freud's break with Jung is perhaps the greatest dispute in psychoanalysis but it certainly wasn't the most insane.

Silberer hanged himself, dramatically leaving a flashlight in his face and a letter, to Freud, on his desk. The personalities...
...shades of Freud and Jung, of magic, myth and racial memory, now hover (drearily or provocatively, depending on one's point of view) around any collection of the Brothers Grimm. There is no need to be owlish, however, about the clear fact that fairy tales address with considerable delight some persistent human need, at the very simplest, to half-believe that every life is a mysterious personal adventure worth pursuing to the bitter end. Why? Because -who knows? - every faithful goose girl may become a princess, every mean, usurping maid become a deserving corpse. This fine re-edition...
Swiss Psychologist Carl Jung put it down to geography. "Mountains tend to restrict the horizons of the mind," he once told TIME'S Robert Kroon. Others chalk it up to the insular effects of a longtime policy of political neutrality. Still others say it is simply a matter of overexposure to throngs of Fremdarbeiter (foreign workers) and businessmen pouring into the country in search of jobs and tax breaks...
