In the autumn of 1912, the psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung delivered a series of nine lectures at Fordham University. Although titled “The Theory of Psychoanalysis”, he outlined the future development of his work as differing from the theories of Sigmund Freud. A revised edition of these lectures, first published in the inaugural edition of the Psychoanalytic Review, is soon to be released.
