FAMILY MATTERS - THE DESCENDANTS OF FREUD AND JUNG

A brief history of what it has meant to be a Jungian analyst and/or an alytical psychologist in the United States and England is portrayed. A t first the differences between psychoanalysis and analytical psycholo gy were very great, and there was great animosity between the two scho ols. The conflict was much stronger in the United States than in Engla nd where Jungians developed a much better rapport with psychoanalysis. Recent theoretical developments within psychoanalysis, such as the de velopment of self theory and intersubjectivity, as well as speaking ab out religious issues in a new way, have brought psychoanalysis closer to analytical psychology. On the other hand, analytical psychology has been enriched by an increased awareness of the importance of develop mental issues and transference and countertransference. The implicatio ns for both psychoanalysis and analytical psychology are explored.
