| Carl Jung was born in Kesswil, Switzerland, on July 26, 1875. His father and eight uncles were pastors, leading to a very religious upbringing.
Jung earned his M.D. in 1900 in psychiatry. He then worked at the Burgh”lzli Mental Hospital in Zurich. He became interested in Freud's work and became a close friend of Freud's until Jung realized that he did not want to place as much emphasis on sex as Freud did in this theory. Jung became a lecturer at the University of Zurich in 1905. However, his private practice grew so large that he had to quit to devote all of his energy to his practice. Jung had many interests outside of psychology, and he wrote on such topics as religion, astrology, telepathy, art, and even flying saucers. His numerous books include Two Essays on Analytical Psychology (1953), Memories, Dreams, Reflections (1961), and Collected Works. He died at the age of 85 on June 6, 1961. |
