Hey there human!
Thereâs a lot of debate around Jungian concepts in the academic community. As you mentioned, a lot of his work has been discredited for being largely âmysticalâ and unscientific. It certainly is interesting, but Jungâs theories have few takers today. There exist, however, small and dedicated groups of Jungian psychologists.
Psychologists are trained in almost every form of psychology that exists, including Carl Jungâs. When it comes to treating patients, his methods are not very common. At most, they are used in combination with other, tried and tested methods.

Hello,
It depends on therapist orientation and if the patient has that quest to understand himself then psychodynamic therapies can be used.Psychodynamic therapies mostly are insight oriented.
Glad to know that you are showing interest in Jungian concept.
