ABSTRACT
Since the charge of anti-Semitism happens to adhere to the name of C. G. Jung, it becomes necessary, even for those who see Jung differently, to examine closely the grounds for this charge and to engage in an unbiased discussion of this entire topic. Jung viewed the phenomenon of fascism with a frame of mind, “in which historical, truly political categories, even sociological or economic criteria were totally lacking and which therefore was unsuited for a realistic evaluation of the situation.” The general experience of psychotherapy justifies the view that much wind could have been taken out of the sails of the race question if people had been willing to question critically their emotional involvement in it and see it as a collective psychological problem.
