ABSTRACT
There was a nineteen-year age gap between Jung and Freud, which perhaps accounted for the differences between them. Freud was surrounded mostly by men, while Jung was surrounded mostly by women. Where Freud ran a very tight ship in his Movement, keeping everyone in order by complex hidden manipulation, Jung's Psychological Club in Zurich was a mess of conflicts, with Jung in the thick of the ugliest, rudest, and most dramatic of the rows and walkouts. Jung's most significant extramarital affair was with Toni Wolff, a patient of his, thirteen years his junior, and who would later become a Jungian psychoanalyst. Jung's life began with experiences he could not comprehend, and influences that would stay with him all his life. With a father and eight uncles in the clergy, it was little wonder that Jung's early thoughts were steeped in religion. As a young psychiatrist, Jung had been fascinated by the mad utterances from some of his psychotic patients.
