JUNG, CHILDREN’S DREAMS: NOTES FROM THE PSYCHOLOGICAL SEMINAR GIVEN FROM 1936 TO 1940 Between 1936 and 1940, C. G. Jung presented a psychological seminar n four semesters at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. These alternated between seminars on children’s dreams and on historical work on dreams. For many years notes of these semesters were only available in a privately printed mimeographed edition (notes of just two C. G. Jung at Eranos, photographer unknown. of the semesters were translated into English). Walter Verlag finally published the complete notes in an edition of 678 pages edited by Lorenz Jung and Maria Meyer-Gross entitled, Kinderträume, in 1987. The Philemon Foundation commissioned an English edition of this volume that has been newly translated by Ernst Falzeder in collaboration with Tony Woolfson. Falzeder has also added additional editorial footnotes to the work. For the English edition, the seminars will be published in two thematic volumes: the first volume will contain the seminars dealing with children’s dreams, and the second volume will contain those dealing with his - torical works on dreams. Princeton University Press will publish the first volume. This seminar contains Jung’s most extensive work on the psychology of childhood and has yet to receive the attention it deserves in the English-speaking world. This issue of Jung History is dedicated to an illustrated ver - sion of the seminar of 25 October 1938 in which Jung gave an exposition of the principles of dream interpretation. We would like to thank Niedieck Linder AG and the Erbengemeinschaft C. G. Jung for permission to publish it here.

  • Introduction: Jung, New York, 1912 Sonu Shamdasani
    Copyrighted Material IntroductIon: Jung, neW York, 1912 Sonu Shamdasani September 28, 1912. the New York Times featured a full-page inter- view with Jung on the problems confronting america, with a por- trait photo entitled “america facing Its Most tragic Moment”— the first prominent feature of psychoanalysis in the Times. It was Jung, the Times correctly reported, who “brought dr. freud to the recognition of the older school of psychology.” the Times went on to say, “[H]is classrooms are crowded with students eager to under- stand what seems to many to be an almost miraculous treatment. His clinics are crowded with medical cases which have baffled other doctors, and he is here in america to lecture on his subject.” Jung was the man of the hour. aged thirty-seven, he had just com- pleted a five-hundred-page magnum opus, Transformations and Sym‑ bols of the Libido, the second installment of which had just appeared in print. following his first visit to america in 1909, it was he, and not freud, who had been invited back by Smith ely Jelliffe to lec- ture on psychoanalysis in the new international extension course in medicine at fordham university, where he would also be awarded his second honorary degree (others invited included the psychiatrist William alanson White and the neurologist Henry Head). Jung’s initial title for his lectures was “Mental Mechanisms in Health and disease.” By the time he got to composing them, the title had become simply “the theory of Psychoanalysis.” Jung com- menced his introduction to the lectures by indicating that he in- tended to outline his attitude to freud’s guiding principles, noting that a reader would likely react with astonishment that it had taken him ten years to do so.

Box 779 – 6612 Ascona – Switzerland www.eranosfoundation.org – [email protected] 2014 Annual Report Activity, Eranos Foundation Page 2 ANNUAL ACTIVITY REPORT 2014 OF THE ERANOS FOUNDATION 1. INTRODUCTION Throughout the year 2014, the endurance of the Foundation Board, combined with the kind attention and generosity of our financial and scientific partners, have allowed to further develop the various scien- tific activities and the reaching of a financial condition, which allows now to elaborate further relevant pro- jects. The Foundation has the big privilege to count among its faithful partners The Fetzer Institute of Kal- amazoo (MI, USA) as well as The Pacifica Graduate Institute of Santa Barbara (CA, USA). We are par- ticularly grateful to the Fetzer Institute for granting the financial support throughout the years 2013–2015. On the other hand, the Pacifica Graduate Institute has continued the scientific contacts with the Founda- tion and has been planning several activities to be held at Eranos in the mid-term future. Both partners contributed significantly to reinforce the network and the visibility of the Foundation and this allows us to better fulfil our mission. Thanks to the favorable real estate loan conditions offered by Banca della Svizzera Italiana (BSI), the Foundation could reach an operational status with an unprecedented optimism. Each member of the Board has intensely worked according to individual potential to support the ambitious scientific program proposed by the President, Prof. Fabio Merlini, in close collaboration with the Scientific Secretary, Dr. Ric- cardo Bernardini.

  • Introduction by John Beebe and Ernst Falzeder
    Introduction by John Beebe and Ernst Falzeder Jung’s PSYCHOLOGICAL TYPES appeared in 1921 to widespread acclaim and received many laudatory reviews.1 In a two-page spread in the New York Times Book Review, Mark Isham concluded: “This volume is drastically serious, positive, didac- tic, classic, and yet more than stimulating. It is energizing, lib- erating and recreative. The author shows an amazingly sym- pathetic knowledge of the introvert of the thinking type, and hardly less for the other types. Jung has revealed the inner kingdom of the soul marvelously well and has made the signal discovery of the value of phantasy. His book has a manifold reach and grasp, and many reviews with quite different sub- ject matter could be written about it” (1923). Psychological Types has been one of Jung’s most infl uential and enduring works, leaving an indelible mark on psychology, psycho- therapy, personality testing, anthropology, popular culture, and even language. It was Jung’s fi rst major publication in nearly a decade since his 1911– 12 book on Transformations and Symbols of the Libido. Yet there has been little study of either its genesis and elaboration from his fi rst brief presentation on 1 Sigmund Freud was not pleased, however: “A new production by Jung of enormous size [,] 700 pages thick, inscribed ‘Psychologische Typen[,]’ the work of a snob and a mystic, no new idea in it. He clings to that escape he had de- tected in 1913, denying objective truth in psychology on account of the per- sonal differences in the observer’s constitution.

Jung (2019), we now have a substantial corpus of the visual works that Jung created between 1913 and 1923, a period when he was deeply engaged with Liber Novus, its transcription and elaboration into The Red Book, whilst at the same time formulating the core concepts of analytical psychology. This article identifies several previously unrecognised representations of two of Jung’s most important personifications, the ‘dominant fathers’ Philemon and Ka. I then trace their roles in some of Jung’s visual works that include the image of the cross-quartered circle and sphere, his prime example of the reconciling symbol of the creation of the new god, and of individuation. After examining two paintings in detail, Amor Triumphat (1920-21) and Cat. 66 in The Art of C.G. Jung (c. 1921-23), I conclude with Jung’s designs for Emma Jung’s memorial at Bollingen (1956), and his family tomb at Küsnacht (1957).

She became the soul mate, mistress, and companion of Jung and was of particular importance for him during the time of his crises and subsequent exploration of the unconscious in the years after 1913. She played a pivotal role in the foundation of the Zurich Psychological Club in 1916 and presided over it from 1928 to 1945. Patients coming to see Jung for therapy would often see her as well. When Erich Neumann came to Zurich in 1933 he underwent therapy with both. Toni Wolff also became the therapist of Julie Neumann when Erich and Julie visited Zurich in May and June 1936 (see Neumann’s letters to Jung from 30 January 1936 [19 N], and 15 April 1953 [95 N]). Neumann and Toni Wolff wrote to each other on a regular basis from 1934 until her death of a heart attack on 21 March 1953.
