• Carl Gustav Jung


  Believed in the "complex," or emotionally charged associations. Collaborated with Sigmund Freud but disagreed with him about the sexual basis of neuroses.
• Carl Jung was born on July 26, 1875, in Kesswil, Switzerland. He was the only son of a Protestant clergyman Paul and wife Emilie.
• Freud and Jung


  • Father and son relationship (Jung is 32 years old while Freud is almost 51 years old)
  • Jung is fascinated to Freud's study of the unconscious
  • Freud is fascinated to his work – word association (gives him the scientific evidence for his theory)
  • First meeting: talked for almost 13hours in Freud's apartment
  • Their relationship ended due to: intellectual, professional and personal reasons
• Your allegation that I treat my followers as patients is demonstrably untrue. . . . It is a convention among us analysts that none of us need feel ashamed of his own neurosis. But one [meaning Jung] who while behaving abnormally keeps shouting that he is normal gives ground for the suspicion that he lacks insight into his illness. Accordingly, I propose that we abandon our personal relations entirely.

  1913
• Movie about Freud and Jung

  • In 1904 a Russian woman named Sabina Spielrein (Keira Knightley) arrives at Carl Jung's (Michael Fassbender) clinic, seeking treatment for hysteria. Jung is eager to test Sigmund Freud's (Viggo Mortensen) theories on Sabina and, in fact, successfully treats her. Two years later Jung and Sabina meet Freud in person, and Jung takes over the treatment of Otto Gross, whose influence leads Jung to begin an affair with Sabina, contributing to a rift with Freud.
