Carl Gustav Jung, born on July 26, 1875, and passing away on June 6, 1961, was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst credited with founding analytical psychology. Renowned for his extensive writings, illustrations, and correspondence, Jung remains a multifaceted and debated figure, perhaps most recognized for his “autobiography” titled “Memories, Dreams, Reflections.”

Jung’s contributions have had a profound impact across various disciplines including psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, psychology, and religious studies. He conducted research at the Burghölzli psychiatric hospital in Zurich under Eugen Bleuler, establishing himself as a notable figure. His friendship with Sigmund Freud, the pioneer of psychoanalysis, led to a significant correspondence, shaping their shared understanding of human psychology. Jung is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential figures in the history of psychology.
