Freud believed our problems come from sex and early childhood. Jung was more into mythology and ideas of self-realization. There are insights and problems in both approaches.

Freud did teach us something about repression and ambivalence and the ways in which people sabotage themselves. Also a lot about how childhood experiences and relationships influence later life.

But he became too convinced of his own answers and his own genius and encouraged a cult and an orthodoxy. Sophie Freud was coming at him from a feminist perspective, strongly influenced by the problems the women in the family had because of Poppa Sigmund.
