Author : C.G. Jung, Clara Winston

Carl Jung was one of the leading pioneers of psychoanalysis, collaborating with Freud over a six years period in the development and dissemination of the theory of the unconscious. Later, due to differences in their approaches and beliefs, Jung formulated his own theory of analytical psychology and parted ways with Freud. Jung, a Swiss citizen, founded the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich. He was also elected president of the International Psychoanalytic Society and became president of the International Society for Psychotherapy. He died in Switzerland on June 6, 1961. His theories and ideas have had a continuous and lasting impact on psychological research to this day.
