Richard Coles puts Gustav Jung in the dock. Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist, Freud's rebellious heir apparent and founder of his own school of analytic psychology, has never been free from controversy. But recent critics have revived charges that he was a would-be prophet around whom followers gathered in cultic devotion. The case for the prosecution depends on a previously unknown text claimed to be Jung's inaugural address at the founding of his "cult". In Jung's defence, psychology historian Sonu Shamdasani challenges the evidence.
And Bill Buford delivers his weekly comment on American cultural life.
