Page "Carl Jung" Paragraph 16

Jung was thirty when he sent his Studies in Word Association to Sigmund Freud in Vienna in 1906.

The two men met for the first time the following year, and Jung recalled the discussion between himself and Freud as interminable.

They talked, he remembered, for thirteen hours, virtually without stopping '.

Six months later, the then 50-year-old Freud sent a collection of his latest published essays to Jung in Zurich, which marked the beginning of an intense correspondence and collaboration that lasted six years and ended in May 1913.

At this time Jung resigned as the chairman of the International Psychoanalytical Association, where he had been elected with Freud's support.
