The 13‑Hour Meeting That Launched A Bond
- Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud met in 1907 and held a famously long, intense conversation that cemented their early bond.
- Jung was one of the first non-Jewish physicians to embrace Freud, which increased Freud's appeal beyond his Vienna circle.

- The split between Freud and Jung mixed personal dynamics with genuine theoretical differences.
- Jung rejected Freud's sexual reductionism and emphasised a broader unconscious and psychological energy.

- Jung described a haunted childhood full of visions, fears, and a sense of unreality that he later analysed.
- Biographers and clinicians say Jung was effectively his own first patient and used self-analysis to heal and form his ideas.
