ABSTRACT
The history of analytical psychology is part of the larger history of depth psychology and psychoanalysis, with which it is intertwined and yet separate. Due to the painful and bitter parting between the founders of psychoanalysis and analytical psychology, Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung, a reliable early history has been difficult to ascertain. In a profound way the cleavage between the two founders has both promoted and at the same time inhibited the growth of the two fields. It is not my intention to rehash the Freud/Jung controversy, because it is so fraught with factional disputes that any objective view is hard to establish. However, it is necessary that it be mentioned as a baseline problem that has had a long-term and defining imprint on both schools.
