ABSTRACT
The correspondence with Bleuler began in 1904 and in 1906 C. G. Jung sent Sigmund Freud his Diagnostic Association Studies, in which he cites Freud and at one point compares his own association experiments with psychoanalysis. The interest shown in Freud by staff at the Burgholzli Clinic was a godsend. Freud's lack of genuine enthusiasm is perfectly understandable. In his introduction to Dementia praecox, Jung had praised Bleuler, Riklin, and Freud, only to add that he did not attribute such importance to childhood sexual trauma as Freud did. In January 1907, Freud received his first visitor from the Burgholzli. The visit by Jung and twenty-six-year-old Binswanger in 1907 was of enormous significance for Freud. Freud was continuing to insist on the importance of sexual experiences that had taken place in reality, but he had added two contrasting dimensions: hereditary disposition and phantasy.
