ABSTRACT

Most of this chapter was presented as a lecture to the Millennium Conference organised by the Society of Analytical Psychology in London in February 1999. The invitation to speak came from Andrew Samuels whose brainchild the conference was. Given the nature of the present book, it felt appropriate to include this material pretty much in the way in which I first wrote it back then, four years before the publication of my Jung biography. For Andrew was a very significant and early supporter of my Jung project and I wanted to acknowledge that alongside his many other professional achievements, not to mention years of personal friendship. Readers seeking the relevant academic apparatus may refer to C.G. Jung: A Biography. (Bair, 2003).
