ABSTRACT

Jung ended his relationship with Freud over theoretical differences, although there is much written, and much to acknowledge, about the personal aspect of the break between these two men. There was no love lost when Jung, for example, said,

One might say Freud consists of bitterness, every word being loaded with it. His attitude was the bitterness of the person who is entirely misunderstood, and his manner always seemed to say, ‘If they don't understand they must be stamped into Hell’. I noticed this in him the first time I met him, and always saw it in him….

(Jung, 1990, p. 20)
