They are interesting and frustrating in equal measure for me. Jung pointed out much of his work was his personal myth and I like how the "Jung To Live By" people put modern Jungians on blast for basically taking Jung as dogma. Their own system posits three main mental pathologies, Jungian, spirituality-related, Adlerian which are psycho-social (various power complexes and so on), and then Freudian. I find that and other parts of their theory interesting. And they go on and on about theory, then more theory, oh and if it's not enough theory, fear not, for you'll get another side of theory with your theory. I haven't read their books which might offer more practical advice but from the videos and podcasts you'd think for the practical advice section they'd tell you to get yourself a Jungian therapist who does hypnosis and leave it at that. Despite such frustrations, I consider them the best Jungian podcast, by far.
