Born in Switzerland, Carl Jung (1875 – 1961) went on to establish himself as the founder of analytical psychology. His father was a rural minister, with whom he was very close to. By contrast, Jung’s mother suffered from mental illness, causing him to believe that, like her, he had two personalities.

Initially interested in following in his father’s pastoral footsteps, Jung was first educated at the Humanistisches Gymnasium in Basel, before enrolling at the city’s university. There, he studied biology, which earned him a job at a psychiatric hospital in Zürich, which was to heighten his interest in human psychology.

After setting up a private practice, Jung befriended Sigmund Freud, which led to numerous literary collaborations. However, the publication of Jung’s ‘Psychology of the Unconscious’ caused a rift in their friendship, which was never fully healed. Jung continued writing until his death, in 1961.
