I must say that the reviews of this book are extremely entertaining. Moronic one-liners, misspellings of Jung's name, a "customer picture" showing an entirely different book (it's about logic - a pique against the author?).
And who on earth is Mark Feldmann, who has written four reviews of Don McGowan's book???
The book itself, "What is wrong with Jung" (I hope I got the spelling right), isn't very entertaining, however. It's badly written, edited or both. Frankly, it's near-incomprehensible. And no, Don McGowan doesn't have a dry sense of Scottish humour, except in the introduction (he's no Phillip Kitcher). The author essentially just babbles on, going blah-blah-blah. On p. 163, he expresses an implicit support for paedophilia. Is this typical of Prometheus Books? Also, the book seems to have been published before Noll's seminal "The Young Kult", so it never mentions the Volksdeutsche connection.
C.G. Jung was, with outmost probability, wrong. I mean, the guy was a psychoanalyst from Switzerland. Says it all. They got female suffrage in 1971 and still have cantons. However, I think I stick to the funny reviews of this book, rather than the book itself.
One star.
