I have read recently something about jung studying the archetypes and I don't know where that is coming from in his work but he studied the ''joker'' archetype. It seems like it could be correlated with the fools but he makes differenciations between joker, jester, clown and fool which seems to be from the intent of polarity of the entity using this archetype. I resonated much with the concepts of the joker I have found in this description. I have incarnated this archetype often in my lifetime. I just wonder where are these different archetypes coming from.
A friend of mine who studies social working told me recently that psychoanalysis was considered to be an archaic form of psychology in his studies. I didn't know what to answer but man this guy was way ahead of his time. Some of his work is probably not even understood today to be considered as such and it is way ahead of traditional psychology in my opinion. Maybe those prejudices exist because of freud. It's funny how hiw story with freud seems a little bit like tesla vs edison.
