As told to Carl Jung by an inmate of Broadmoor Asylum

Michael Kelligan's latest script-held production. The story represents a concept, that of the inner conflict of humanity's sense of good and evil An examination of the duality of human nature and that the failure to accept this tension results in the evil being projected onto others In Freudian Theory the thoughts and desires banished to the unconscious motivate the behaviour of the conscious mind. If someone banishes all evil to the unconscious in an attempt to be wholly and completely good, it can result in the development of a Mr. Hyde-type aspect to that person's character. Jung emphasized the importance of balance and harmony. He cautioned that modern people rely too heavily on science and logic and would benefit from integrating spirituality and appreciation of unconscious realms. He considered the process of individuation necessary for a person to become whole.
