He held the view that it is not the parts that explain the meaning and importance of the whole, but the whole that explains the meaning and importance of the parts. This view is same as Jung's view on the totality of the psyche. Jung and Freud differ in the concept of reality. While Jung says that the reality of psyche is the only real; however, Freud says that there is a real external world called truth. Jung's method is to help the client to reach depths of his own psyche by means of his dreams, fantasies and imaginations.

When the client sees the movie, the therapist can watch the reactions of the client for various movies. Those movies for which the client expresses strong reactions can be noted down. Most probably, the client is experiencing the problem showed in those movies. The exact nature of problem...
Once the root cause is found out, the proper therapy that suits the patient most appropriately can be employed to cure the patient. It may so happen that the client may require either a psychodynamic therapy or cognitive-behavioral therapy. In that case, these standard techniques can be employed. If the problem is complicated, the therapy may involve more than one technique like a combination of understanding the childhood problems, thought patterns and the client's present analysis of himself.
