ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the biography of Jung, Jung: A Biography, by Deirdre Bair. Bair was granted access to the Jung papers in the ETH in accordance with the general conditions of access to all scholars, but was not granted access to materials in the family archives. By 1907, Jung had become increasingly disenchanted by the limitations of experimental and statistical methods in psychiatry and psychology. Jung's relationship with Sigmund Freud has been much mythologized. It is clear that Freud and Jung came from quite different intellectual traditions, and were drawn together by shared interests in the psychogenesis of mental disorders and psychotherapy. From 1909 onwards, Jung embarked on an extensive study of mythology, comparative religion, anthropology, and folklore. According to Bair, Jung saw something universal in the patient's solar phallus vision in 1901, but there is no evidence to support this dating.
