Freud and Jung: The Internationalization of Psychoanalysis

Freud and Jung: The Internationalization of Psychoanalysis Freud and Jung's relationship was characterized by initial, reciprocal idealization. Freud regarded Jung as an ideal non-Jewish representative of psychoanalysis to the wider world. For Jung, Freud was mentor, model, and quasi-therapist. After psychoanalysis was ‘internationally recognized,’ following their trip to America, Freud proposed to make Jung permanent president of the newly founded International Psychoanalytical Association. Jung was to be the virtual sovereign of psychoanalysis. Their relationship gradually deteriorated and ended in reciprocal denigration. Freud's conflicts with Jung and with Jung's divergent theories were reflected in his symptomatic fainting and his scientific writings, e.g., ‘On Narcissism’ and the ‘Formulations on the Two Principles of Mental Functioning’. This was associated with continuing self-analysis, and the analysis of ambivalence and reciprocal unconscious death wishes. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Psychoanalysis and History Edinburgh University Press

Abstract

Freud and Jung's relationship was characterized by initial, reciprocal idealization. Freud regarded Jung as an ideal non-Jewish representative of psychoanalysis to the wider world. For Jung, Freud was mentor, model, and quasi-therapist. After psychoanalysis was ‘internationally recognized,’ following their trip to America, Freud proposed to make Jung permanent president of the newly founded International Psychoanalytical Association. Jung was to be the virtual sovereign of psychoanalysis. Their relationship gradually deteriorated and ended in reciprocal denigration. Freud's conflicts with Jung and with Jung's divergent theories were reflected in his symptomatic fainting and his scientific writings, e.g., ‘On Narcissism’ and the ‘Formulations on the Two Principles of Mental Functioning’. This was associated with continuing self-analysis, and the analysis of ambivalence and reciprocal unconscious death wishes.
