Title: Jung speaks of Freud
Description: Psychologist C.G. Jung tells of his early and historic acquaintance with Sigmund Freud and why he became critical of Freudian psychology and broke away to found a rival school of his own. Jung says that, after conducting word association experiments whose results supported the theories advanced by Freud in The Interpretation of Dreams, he wrote to Freud, beginning their relationship. He explains how his knowledge of diverse cultures led him to conclude that Freud's theories of the ego, the id, the oedipal complex, and the importance of the sex drive, while valid, were too limited.
