What was Jung's success read with liberating the animus or the anima,
Winfried? In his own life, he kept a great "secret", the mistress which
his wife knew about from the inception of the relationship. The yin-yang
relationships espoused by Jungian theorists or even Hindu ascetics is not
applicable to the work place. This group is dysfunctional and requires
restructuring. They will never work as a team.
