ABSTRACT
Through the his parents' influence, first-generation Jungian analysts who had their primary analyses with Jung, the author had seen how they had both idealized Jung and suffered when he was criticized. In his lifetime after Freud, Jung was the most famous depth psychologist of the twentieth century, but at the same time to be a Jungian meant that one was professionally marginalized. Through the intervention of the author's parents he met Jung on three occasions between 1955 and 1958. Jung made a deep impression upon him with his warmth and directness, and it solidified the author's intention to become a Jungian analyst. The central energy of Jung's psychology gradually shifted to the UK where the emphasis on early childhood development, transference, and countertransference were given the core value in the analytic process. Acting out of the transference had been a problematic issue in the early generation of Jungian analysts. At present there is no single focus for Jung's analytical psychology.
