Jung says that his disagreement with Freud was to do with the libido
and the nature of the unconscious. He may have been being generous.
There was also the fact that Freud never worked with psychotics,
whereas Jung launched much of his theoretical work from the
consistencies he spotted between psychotic patients' fantasy material.
See MDR, and the introduction to the Red Book. Freud, on the other
hand, dealt solely with his own--the neurotics.
