ABSTRACT
Edith Rockefeller McCormick could not have arrived at a better time for C. G. Jung. She came to Zurich in 1913 after almost a month of daily analysis with Jung in New York, and the same on her voyage to Europe. By all accounts, Edith had a troubled past, beset by psychological problems, some situational due to the loss of two of her five children in infancy, and herself suffering a debilitating illness. In 1916, Edith leased a very grand building, located in one of the most expensive areas of Zurich. This was to be the Zurich Psychological Club, a central meeting place for Jung’s circle and the venue of his lectures on his psychology and research. With great fanfare, on February 26, 1916, with forty people in attendance including Jung, Emma, and Toni Wolff, the Club opened its doors. The importance of the Club to the furthering of Jung’s psychology cannot be overemphasized.
