C. G. Jung and Erich Neumann first met in 1933, at a seminar Jung
was conducting in Berlin. Jung was fifty-seven years old and
internationally acclaimed for his own brand of psychotherapy.
Neumann, twenty-eight, had just finished his studies in medicine.
The two men struck up a correspondence that would continue until
Neumann's death in 1960. A lifelong Zionist, Neumann fled Nazi
Germany with his family and settled in Palestine in 1934, where he
would become the founding father of analytical psychology in the
future state of Israel. Presented here in English for the first
time are letters that provide a rare look at the development of
Jung's psychological theories from the 1930s onward as well as the
emerging self-confidence of another towering twentieth-century
intellectual who was often described as Jung's most talented
student. Neumann was one of the few correspondence partners of
Jung's who was able to challenge him intellectually and personally.
These letters shed light on not only Jung's political attitude
toward Nazi Germany, his alleged anti-Semitism, and his
psychological theory of fascism, but also his understanding of
Jewish psychology and mysticism. They affirm Neumann's importance
as a leading psychologist of his time and paint a fascinating
picture of the psychological impact of immigration on the German
Jewish intellectuals who settled in Palestine and helped to create
the state of Israel. Featuring Martin Liebscher's authoritative
introduction and annotations, this volume documents one of the most
important intellectual relationships in the history of analytical
psychology.
