[[Carl Jung]] found his approach particularly effective for patients who are well adjusted by social standards but are troubled by [[Existential crisis|existential questions]]. Jung claims to have "frequently seen people become neurotic when they content themselves with inadequate or wrong answers to the questions of life".<ref name="Jung_1989">{{cite book | vauthors =Jung CG, [[Aniela Jaffé|Jaffé A]] |title=[[Memories, Dreams and Reflections]] |date=1989 |publisher=Vintage Books |location=New York |isbn=0-679-72395-1 |edition=rev.}}</ref>{{Rp|140}} Accordingly, the majority of his patients "consisted not of believers but of those who had lost their faith".<ref name="Jung_1989" />{{Rp|140}} A contemporary person, according to Jung, <blockquote>...&nbsp;is blind to the fact that, with all his rationality and efficiency, he is possessed by 'powers' that are beyond his control. His gods and demons have not disappeared at all; they have merely got new names. They keep him on the run with restlessness, vague apprehensions, psychological complications, an insatiable need for pills, alcohol, tobacco, food — and, above all, a large array of neuroses.<ref name="Jung_1964">{{cite book | vauthors = Jung CG |title=Man and his symbols |date=1969 |publisher=Doubleday |location=Garden City |isbn=0-385-05221-9}}</ref>{{Rp|82}}</blockquote>Jung found that the [[Unconscious mind|unconscious]] finds expression primarily through an individual's inferior psychological function, whether it is thinking, feeling, sensation, or intuition. The characteristic effects of a neurosis on the dominant and inferior functions are discussed in his ''[[Psychological Types]]''. Jung also found collective neuroses in politics: "Our world is, so to speak, dissociated like a neurotic."<ref name="Jung_1964" />{{Rp|85}}
