This man is largely to blame for the devolution of psychology and the scientism of materialistic psychology now with two wings called neuropsychology and cognitive behavioral psychology. His problem was that he was trained as a Freudian psychoanalyst and not a Jungian analytical psychologist whose work was based on empirical observation. The focus on retraining thinking patterns is far superior and true to psychology than that of neuropsychology, however it remains at the thinking level of the ego-identity and does not touch the unconscious directly. So to a certain extent, the retraining of the thinking ego is a good thing, it is only another variation of the Freudian approach of making people into good cogs in the social machine with being "happy" as the goal.
Jungian psychology was and is a footnote compared to the dominance of psychoanalysis. Dr. Beck would never have trained in Jungian theory unless he sought it out himself.

How is Jungian analysis superior to Freudian/Lacanian analysis anyway?
