Jung considered Freud's "Eros" theory extroverted and Adler's power theory introverted. "The actual existence of far-reaching type-differences, of which I have described eight groups in [ Psychological Types ], has enabled me to conceive the two controversial theories of neurosis as manifestations of a type-antagonism.
