ABSTRACT
One of Emma Jung’s first patients, who was receiving analysis from Jung, was sent to her by Jung because she dreamed that Emma had something for her. This was the beginning of a pattern that continued throughout many years among C. G. Jung, Toni, and Emma; many people had analysis with at least two of them. Jung, of course, had his own interest in the Grail legends. Emma’s first work was published in 1931, twenty-seven years into the Jungs’ marriage. Emma’s death in 1955 shook the foundation of Jung’s life, and he never totally recovered from it. In old age, he had turned to his wife more and more. Ruth Bailey, who lived in as caretaker in Jung’s old age, said that Toni had become somewhat of a burden in his older years and that Emma’s death affected him more profoundly than Toni’s had, a few years before.
