Freud & Jung | Freud vs Jung Differences | Psychoanalysis | Sigmund Freud | Carl Jung

To many, Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud defined the world of psychology. Their theories, although differing, have had the greatest impact on our perception of the human mind, and their contributions to theory and practice have led to the development of successful psychological treatments for the wide spectrum of human distress.

Yet their paths were not always so different. At the beginning of this colorful history was a friendship, a camaraderie based on intellectual prowess and impassioned desire to further the study into the unconscious psyche. To a 31-year-old Jung, Freud embodied not only an esteemed colleague but also a father figure with whom he could open his heart and mind. Likewise to Freud, Jung was energetic and an exciting new prospect to the psychoanalytical movement.

But this power dynamic changed, and along with it their friendship. In the case of the student becoming the teacher, by the time of his break with Freud in 1913 Jung was internationally known for his own contribution to psychological theory.
