Biography: Carl Jung (1875-1961)

Carl Gustav Jung was a psychiatrist. Carl Jung was born July 26, 1875, in the small Swiss village of Kessewil. He studied medicine at Basel, and worked at the Burgholzli mental clinic in Zurich. He met Freud in Vienna in 1907, became his leading collaborator, and was president of the International Psychoanalytic Association from 1911-1914. He became increasingly critical of Freud's approach, and Wandlungen und Symbole der Libido and caused a break in 1913. He then developed his own theories, which he called "analytical psychology' to distinguish them from Freud's psychoanalysis and Adler's individual psychology.

After World War I, Jung traveled to many places, visiting tribes in Africa, America, and India. He retired in 1946, and withdrew from public attention after his wife died in 1955. He died on June 6, 1961, in Zurich.
