ABSTRACT
The early history of the conflict between Freud and Jung is probably too well known to require a retelling. But there are two important points about that history that need emphasis. One has to do with the institutional basis of the original split. On the other, it could be said that the psychoanalytic shadow of analytical psychology persisted in the form of analysts. The starting point is Jung's ouster from his leadership position and Freud's assertion of his ownership of psychoanalysis. On the one hand there is the part that could not be contained within psychoanalysis as shaped and controlled by Freud, the explorer of myths and archetypes. The other side of Jung, the wounded associate of Freud, developed in a more hidden and secretive manner. This situation defines a growing crisis for analytical psychology. On the one hand, a greater degree of creative and innovative thinking is called for. On the other, institutes are often immobilized by internal conflict.
