A psychology that treats the mind as an epiphenomenon would better call itself brain-psychology and remain satisfied with the meager results that such a psycho-physiology can yield.

The mind deserves to be taken as a phenomenon in its own right; there are no grounds at all for regarding it as a mere epiphenomenon, dependent though it may be on the functioning of the brain.

One would be as little justified in regarding life as an epiphenomenon of the chemistry of carbon compounds. ~Carl Jung, CW 8, Page 10
