Alfred Adler and Carl Jung had very different approaches to psychotherapy. Adler's approach was much along the lines of cognitive behavioral therapy: he believed many mental health problems were the result of cognitive errors that people could be helped to change, and he based his theories on observation and other scientific evidence. Jung, on the other hand, has been called a mystic because of his approach. Not only was he heavily influenced by spiritualist philosophies, but he was also criticized because his theories were not subjected to the scientific method. He wanted to be seen as a scientist, but dabbled so much in the spirit world that he was not taken as seriously as he would have liked.
