		<description><![CDATA[In the field of &#8220;psychosis&#8221; it seems that many things are discovered, then forgotten again, and it is left to future generations to rediscover them. Carl Jung, one of the founding fathers of modern psychology, had a lot of insights about so-called &#8220;schizophrenia&#8221; that our modern mental health system has failed to incorporate.
