About the book: 2019 / Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung are the founders of classical psychoanalysis and analytical psychology, whose teachings forever changed the understanding of the mechanism of the human psyche and had a huge impact on science and culture of the 20th century. Carl Jung began as a follower of Freud's theory, but over time he created his own concept, explaining the motives of human actions with the help of “archetypal images” and the concept of the “collective unconscious”. Jung's refusal to follow Freud's teachings led to a breakdown in relations between scientists and the emergence of two different methods of psychoanalysis. In this book, the famous psychoanalyst, Doctor of Philosophy Valery Leibin talks about the life path of Freud and Jung and the events that influenced the formation of their scientific views and principles of research into human psychology. The author introduces the reader to previously unknown materials that allow us to understand the essence of the conflict between the two great “fathers” of psychoanalysis and destroy many stereotypical ideas about them.
