ABSTRACT
Thomas B. Kirsch interviewed Dr. Edward Edinger on December 4, 1996, while preparing his book on the history of analytical psychology, published as The Jungians. Kirsch questioned about the history of analytical psychology, which is developing beyond Jung. Edinger answered that there was a Professional Society ever since about the mid-forties, which was called the New York Association of Analytical Psychology, but there was no Institute, no Foundation. The Club and the Professional Society did things jointly, and the Club would bring over people from Zurich so that there would be seminars. The main training was done on an ad hoc basis and emphasis was on the individual analysis and supervised analysis. What separates Edinger from practically all the other so-called Jungians is that he have a perception of Jung's magnitude that other people do not share. It's just an individual perception, and either it is way off base or it is approximately correct, and only history will determine that.
