ABSTRACT
After Jung resigned as president of the International Psychoanalytical Association in 1914, most analysts – even most Swiss analysts – sided with Freud against Jung. Even so, for several years afterwards Freud remained wary of the psychoanalysts in Switzerland. Were they committed to him, or were they still more influenced by Jung than they were prepared to acknowledge? One of those who sided with Freud was Oskar Pfister, a Protestant pastor in Zurich. In a letter to Pfister in 1919, Freud said in reference to the Swiss analysts that some Freudians might well wonder whether “ ‘Jungification’ has left a deeper mark on you than you are willing to admit to yourselves and others” (1963: 70).
