ABSTRACT

This chapter explores some of the historical context for Carl Jung's words and actions regarding Jews between 1933 and 1940. It concentrates on events in Nazi Germany in order to complement the usual and present emphasis on Jung himself. The word order of the proper nouns is meant to carry the action from the Nazis to Jung. The general philosophical differences and the specific tradition of anti-Semitism naturally played a part in the reception and use of Jung and Jungian psychology in Germany between 1933 and 1940. Jung's abiding emphasis on the unique collective experiences and memories of the world's cultures, nations, and races provided inspiration for various individuals and groups in Nazi Germany. The various practical demands assumed by the psychotherapists in applying and advertising their therapeutic expertise in the realms of German society, industry, and the military took precedence over the more abstract and less pragmatic characteristics of Jungian psychology.
