ABSTRACT
Karl gustav Jung was born June 6th, 1875 in Kesswil, which is in the municipality in the district of Arbon in the canton of Thurgau in Switzerland. The Jungian lineage was impressive, traceable back to the 1650s where the earliest records show a Carl Jung as the Catholic physician, lawyer and university president. The Jungs’ marriage was a microcosm of Swiss society and not a happy one. Publicly, Paul Jung was self-effacing and quiet, in private he was irritable and quarrelsome. From 1906 Jung and Freud shared intense, interminable discussions through correspondence. World War I interrupted psychoanalysis as a field, and the world and Jung became focused on an apocalypse. In 1928 Jung joined the International General Medical Society for Psychotherapy–the same year as Herman Goring’s cousin, Mathias Heinrich Goring. Jung’s dynamic model of the psyche has several governing principles. Jung regarded ‘attitudes’ and ‘functions’ as operating at both conscious and unconscious levels of awareness.
