The Development of Jung’s Career

This chapter discusses the development of Jung’s career in a time when society, science and psychology were changing fast. It briefly presents Jung’s beginning at the Burghözli mental hospital, his research and work with the association experiment and hypnosis and his encounter with psychoanalysis. An unpublished letter to Ferenczi gives Jung’s impressions of their journey to America in 1909, and thereafter his growing conflict and finally his break with Freud. It concludes as Jung began a process of investigation of his own fantasies.
