Jung goes to the extreme of stating that the only ultimate reality is psychic reality, thus leaving no room for the rational. Friedman accuses him of mythmongering and of psychologism, i.e., that the self, located in the unconscious, is the center and goal of any therapeutic attempt. Everything, including flying saucers, can be explained, and even God can be psychoanalyzed. According to Jung the therapist risks himself as a participant in a process of mutual development with the patient. The therapist gives up authority and the desire to influence, and acts as one human being to another.
