Freud&JungIntroductionThe relationship between Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud began in 1906 when Jung sent Freud a signed copy of his published studies. Unbeknownst to Jung, Freud had already purchased his copy of the book after hearing how favorably his name featured in the writings. Six months later, Freud sent Jung in Zurich a collection of his last published essays. (The well-documented friendship of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, 2014, p.1). When the two finally managed to meet in 1907 in Vienna, they sat and talked for thirteen hours straight. (Carr, J., 2012). From that day until 1909, their letters were full of father-son references (Carr, J., 2012). Freud became a father figure to Jung (The Well-documented Friendship of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, 2014, p.2). As Jung later writes, Jung appears to have developed a “religious crush” on Freud (Haula, JR, n.d.). And Jung also seems like a son to Freud, he speaks of Jung as "my successor and crown prince" and even as "the spirit of my spirit". Jung is eager to demonstrate his devotion and protests his desire to learn, while Freud is ready to name Jung his "crown prince" only a month after Vienna (McGuire: 27) and shows growing jealousy: before Jung does not respond enough soon to his letters and that Jung might develop a stronger alliance with the Parisian philosopher, doctor and hypnotist Pierre Janet: "I wish you an interesting Parisian complex, but I would not like to see him repress your Vienna complex" (McGuire: 65) And Freud's jealousy grows with Jung's last letters. While Freud responds to Jung's letter in a few days, Jung responds to Freud's letters after weeks. Despite Freud's ideas about Jung as his “crown prince,” Jung has other interests.
