The Importance of the Freud-Jung Relationship for Psychoanalysis as a Theory and a Movement

– by Michael Clifford, PhD, psychoanalyst in private practice

Thursday, May 31st, 2018 @9:00 am - 9:50 am    Room 912

1 CEU

Abstract:

The seven years between 1906 and 1913 were crucial for the development of psychoanalysis as a theory, a profession and as a movement.  During this period, Freud’s work drew international attention, and men such as Rank, Ferenczi, and Jung came to Vienna to meet Freud.  But within this short period of time, Freud would first embrace Jung as the “crown prince” of psychoanalysis, and then revoke the crown and banish him from the movement.  This presentation will examine the personal factors that contributed to the split between these two men, a split which profoundly impacted psychoanalysis.

Learning Points:

At the end of this educational activity, its participants will be able to:

1) describe the events in Freud's life that made Jung's relationship with him so pivotal in the development of Freud's theories;

2) discuss the events in Jung's life that made his relationship with Freud so central in the development of Jung's theories;

3) explain why the Freud-Jung relationship was so decisive for the development of psychoanalysis;

4) demonstrate why the Freud-Jung relationship represented two philosophical world-views in conflict.
