Jung wanted to incorporate as much of our histories and experiences into the model of the psyche, and this is against the Anglo-Saxon thought, which is focused on refuting things on an empirical basis. On the other hand, Freud's ideas (while flawed) are much more straight-forward and practical for the use in marketing and politics, so it's okay to accept them.Freud also fits very nicely into the materialist paradigm, since it's all connected to the sexual drive, there is no need for further explanation. However, if your claim of human nature is based on Mind or God-beware: Spirit or some Collected Unconsciousness and Archetypes, which can't be explained by pure materialism or behaviorism, there's nothing else to do, but call you a mystic.
