Even though Jung overthrew Freud in the psychoanalytic world in an Œdipal struggle, his views on psychoanalysis took him away from exploring the infantile sexual drive that brought Freud so much fame.

I think that it is this wide variety of subject matter that keeps his readers coming back for more. Crichton's biggest ...
