Carl JungThe principle aim of psychotherapy is not to transport one to an impossible state of happiness, but to help (the client) acquire steadfastness and patience in the face of suffering.
Carl JungThe God-image in man was not destroyed by the Fall but was only damaged and corrupted (โdeformedโ), and can be restored through God's grace.

The psychological equivalent of this is the integration of the collective unconscious which forms an essential part of the individuation process.
