Original text

The conflict between Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung often becomes the object of study and discussion in the field of psychology. Two great scientists, representing different directions in psychoanalysis, competed with each other in their theories and views on the human psyche. One of the main reasons for the conflict between Freud and Jung was their different understanding of the role of sexuality in human development. Freud paid great attention to sexual instincts and considered sexual libido as the basis for motivating behavior. He believed that the energy of sexuality permeates all areas of life and shapes our desires and behavior. Jung suggested that sexuality is only one of the components of personality and behavior. He argued that people also have a collective unconscious, which includes archetypes and symbols. Jung developed the concept of "psychological type" and believed that each person has his own unique system of archetypes that determines his behavior and life values. Another aspect of the conflict between Freud and Jung was their different attitudes towards religion and spirituality. Freud was skeptical of religion and explained religious beliefs as a product of illusions and misconceptions. He believed that all religious practices and rituals are an expression of repressed sexual desires and complexes. Jung, on the contrary, was interested in religious experience and considered it as one of the forms of personal self-realization. He believed that the archetypes that manifest themselves in religious symbols and rituals have deep psychological meaning and help a person achieve harmony and integrity. Gradually, the conflict between Freud and Jung turned into a rift, and each of them began to develop their own school of psychoanalysis. The Freudian school continued to develop his theories about sexuality and the unconscious, while Jung's analytical psychology paid more attention to symbolism and spiritual development of the individual. Today, researchers and psychotherapists continue to study the works of Freud and Jung and apply them to their practice. The conflict between them can be seen as a fundamental example of dialectics in the development of science, when opposites collide and encourage the search for new solutions and ideas. And by the way, happy birthday, Sigmund Freud)☀
