ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses a selection of the immensely rich and intellectually valuable correspondence of C. G. Jung that is available in print and comment on its importance for future research in Analytical Psychology. Jung and Wolfgang Pauli met in 1930 and their letters began at the end of 1932. At the time, Pauli was already a professor at the Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule (ETH), the Swiss equivalent of the great engineering schools in the United States like Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and California Institute of Technology (Caltech). Another important correspondence was with Father Victor White, a Dominican priest and theologian who became Jung's most important theological conversation partner and friend near the end of both of their lives. Throughout his long career, Jung had carefully studied and written about the psychology of religion. In a lecture entitled "The State of Psychotherapy Today" delivered in 1934, Jung described the differences between Aryan, Jewish, and Chinese psychologies.
