...strict letter of their own creed, some of the least likely people in the world to hold a convention are the followers of famed Analytical Psychologist Carl Gustav Jung (TIME, Feb. 14, 1955). Mostly professed introverts, they look disapprovingly on the modern world's passion for extraversion, "togetherness" and "other-directedness." But last week, 45 years after Founder Jung broke with Sigmund Freud, the Jungian school held its first international congress. The locale, inevitably, was Zurich, Jung's lifetime headquarters. There, 120 of the faithful gathered in the university's auditoriums for technical sessions on such topics...
...fact, far more practical problems than these-extending to monolithic leadership, if not dictatorship-beset the Jungians. To the true believers among them, it has never mattered that Dr. Jung and his work failed to attract a worldwide following as numerous as Freud's. (They regard the Freudians as proselyters, and proselyting as a reflection of unconscious insecurity.) But they have been so unquestioning in their acknowledgment of Jung's leadership that no one of them is emerging as a possible head man to succeed him. That a successor may soon be needed was clear last week. Carl...
...Mechanical Freud. When delegates got down to trade talk, it was clear that Jungian psychology today has two factions: 1) an orthodox group in favor of strict adherence to Jung's doctrines and pursuing work only along the lines he has indicated, with emphasis on archetypes, the human race's collective unconscious, and myths; 2) a progressive element in favor of a widened approach to man's problems, including new emphasis on the importance of childhood experiences in molding the adult (an area that Jungians formerly had largely ignored because they felt it was a field...
...delegates unanimously echoed another of Jung's main arguments: To Freudians, they contended, the goal of analytical psychiatry is complete rationality for the patient, so that if fully cured, he will understand all his drives and have no repressions. To Jungians this is a false goal, and as bad as'a false god. Said Zurich's Dr. Adolf Guggen-biihl: "Man is basically nonrational; he has too many basic, instinctual drives ever to become wholly rational or logical, and medicine must help him to accept this fact." To Jung & Co., the latter-day worship of rationality...
...Boer War, where he may or may not have been the hero of an absurd cavalry charge, now a court official ("standing about at Buck House"), who likes to play Gounod's Ave Maria on a cello and has late in life taken up with Freud, Jung and Adler. C| Lord Warminster, from a decayed family who "probably made their money out of the Black Death" (1348-49); he is currently spending the last of the Black Death bonanza in sponsoring left-wing causes, and is suspected of hoping that when his estate is turned into a collective farm...
