The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961)
was one of the founding fathers of modern depth psychology. His most famous
concept, the collective unconscious, had a deep influence not only on
psychology but also on philosophy and the arts. Here, in his own words and
writings, as well as with accounts of his closest relatives, we gain a
personal insight into the life of the great psychoanalyst. He was a
colleague of Sigmund Freud early in his career, but a disagreement in
1909 ended their collaboration. Nearing the end of his life, Jung stated
that he remembered "only interior experiences, those that - beyond all
illusions - really count in the life of an individual," which helps explain
why Jung has inspired the New Age movement with his interest in occultism,
Eastern religions, the I Ching, and mythology. This documentary
approaches some of the most intimate aspects of Jung's life, while exploring
some of his greatest and most sensational therapeutic intuitions of his
acute and original mind. A Werner Weick film co-produced by TSI, Inc. and
