...Jung's Nightmare. Langham is performing an act of reviving violence. He is doing to the polite 19th century conventions of Greek tragedy what directors like Peter Brook have done to the polite 19th century conventions of Shakespeare. Pseudo-traditional versions of Oedipus are staged as refined pageants. Directors assign masks, write long program notes about catharsis, and advise their puzzled Oedipuses to express hubris, which generally leaves them looking like damaged Roman coins. Langham has cut through the decorum of Greek revival to present Oedipus as a nightmare by Jung...
...Korean President has shown a hunger for extraordinary power before. In 1969 he had the constitution amended to permit him to run for a third four-year term. He won that term in last year's voting, but not nearly as handily as he had anticipated. Kim Dae Jung, leader of the New Democratic Party and a relatively unknown politician at the time, polled 46% of the popular vote on a campaign against Park's police-state methods and in favor of peaceful reunification. At the same time, Park's Democratic Republican Party lost its two-thirds...
...psyche is not of today. It reaches back to prehistoric ages. Has man really changed in the last 10,000 years?" Thus Carl Jung introduced his theory of archetypes: of the instinctive symbols which, he argued, describe the primary, immortal structures of the human mind.

But the hope of discovering forms that are numinous and sacred in Jung's sense has never quite left painting. To be sure, a lot of its manifestations have been head-shop trash-Peter Max mandalas...
...chance to show their higher faculties-and then present their most trivial findings as the true picture of the human mind, they prompt people to regard themselves as automata, devoid of responsibility or worth, which can hardly remain without effect upon the tenor of social life." Freud, Adler and Jung? Although psychoanalysts "offer many fundamental insights into real-life situations" and cannot be accused of banality or irrelevance, Andreski says, they lack "a sense of proportion." Thus, he concludes, "we are left in the void between quantified trivialities and fascinating but entirely undisciplined flights of fantasy...
...increasing degree of economic autonomy, many women found that marriage bonds that chafed could be snapped more easily than before. Meanwhile, Freud had become a household god, and the composition of the new trinity was the id, the ego and the superego. Armchair analysts lolled under many latitudinarian banners-Jung, Adler, Reich, Stekel, Krafft-Ebing, Sacher-Masoch and even the Marquis de Sade. What all of this generated was an unprecedented inquiry into the nature and needs of women as sexual beings...
