ABSTRACT

In her first letter to Jung in June 1934, Ocampo thanks him for his analytical psychology and praises Psychological Types and Modern Man in Search of a Soul, which she intends to publish in Spanish. She travels to Zurich and meets him at his home in Kusnacht briefly, between patients. On her way into that meeting, she depotentiates her inferiority complex by connecting to Jung through his collection of detective novels; on her way out, they refer lightly to one of his two dogs as introverted, the other extroverted. Years later, during wartime, she writes again to ask for an essay for her literary review, Sur.
