C.G. Jung - Prof. C.A. Meier in conversation with Dr. N.D. Minton. Part 1.

Dr. Minton studied Jung's analytical psychology in Switzerland. He returned to Zurich in 1984 to make this recording. Prof. Meier knew Jung in childhood and had his first professional meeting with him in 1924. He was at Oxford with Jung and in the 1930s became secretary-general of an international society of psychotherapists of which Jung was President. He talks of his involvement with Jung, of Jung's influence on his (Meier's) own paper on conscious and unconscious systems and refutes allegations of anti-Semitism made against Jung. He also discusses Jung's association experiment, his theory of typology, his methods in relation to the treatment of psychotics and the way in which Jung handled transference. He considers that todays trend towards group psychotherapy is absolutely opposed to the spirit of Jung's work.
