ABSTRACT
Jung introduces his critique by saying that psychoanalysis seems to him to stand in need of a weighing-up from the inside. Jung’s own developmental divisions are: the pre-sexual, lasting until between the third and fifth years, and characterized first by suckling and later by displaced rhythmic activity; the pre-pubertal, during which the genital zone is discovered; and the age of puberty onwards. The radical differences between Freud and Jung can of course be found in the later work as well, though as might be expected they form a smaller portion of the totality, and the minor differences can best be appreciated with the full range of their writings upon which to draw. A further difference is that the scientific interest of the investigator leads him to find rules and categories, whereas the physician would be well advised to ‘put away his scholar’s gown, bid farewell to his study, and wander with human heart through the world.
