Jungism
Anyone who wants to know the human
psyche will learn next to nothing from experimental psychology. He would
be better advised to abandon exact science, put away his scholar's gown,
bid farewell to his study, and wander with human heart throughout
the world. There in the horrors of prisons,
lunatic asylums and hospitals, in drab suburban pubs, in brothels and
gambling-hells, in the salons of the elegant, the Stock Exchanges,
socialist meetings, churches, revivalist gatherings and ecstatic sects,
through love and hate, through the experience of passion in every form in
his own body, he would reap richer stores of knowledge than text-books a
foot thick could give him, and he will know how to doctor the sick with a
real knowledge of the human soul.
