The authoritative edition of Jungs essential writings for understanding his early enthusiasm for-and later split with-Freud and psychoanalysisFreud and Psychoanalysis gathers Jungs writings on Freud and psychoanalysis published between 1906 and 1916, along with two later, related papers. The book covers the period of the enthusiastic collaboration between the two pioneers of psychology through the years when Jungs growing appreciation of religious experience, his criticism of Freuds emphasis on pathology, and other differences led to Jungs formal break with his mentor. Part I features brief studies of Freuds theory of hysteria, dream analysis, the psychology of rumor, and other subjects. Parts II and III contain the essentials of the criticism that led to Jungs rupture with Freud, the most important of which is The Theory of Psychoanalysis. Part IV presents The Significance of the Father in the Destiny of the Individual. The books final two pieces, Freud and Jung: Contrasts and the introduction to a book by W. M. Kranefeldt, further illuminate Jungs reassessment of psychoanalysis.
