ABSTRACT
The topic, "Family Matters", lies at the heart of the emotionally laden conflicts over theory and practice that have plagued the first one hundred years of depth psychology. This topic has a living reality for the author because his parents were first-generation Jungians who both analyzed with Jung during the 1930s, were Jewish, and were forced like so many others to emigrate from Europe. Conflict was accentuated by the fact that many analysts of both persuasions had been in analysis with either Freud or Jung, making it more than a theoretical issue. The Freud–Jung story has been seen as the most dramatic of the many occurring during the early years of psychoanalysis. Jungian analysis, and others that have incorporated many of the changes that are going on within psychoanalysis. The author's own life-long experience as part of the Jungian family has been a deep source of continuity among so many other changes.
