Abstract

At the end of the nineteenth century, many figures sought to establish a scientific psychology that was independent of metaphysics, theology, biology, anthropology, literature, medicine and psychiatry, whilst taking over their traditional subject matter. It was upon the successful negotiation of these disciplinary crossings that the possibility of psychology rested. In this thesis I show how in the course of his medical, psychiatric and psychotherapeutic career, Jung derived the key problematics of his work from these disciplines, and combined them to form analytical psychology. The thesis is divided into a series of sections which deal with major problematics in Jung's work. Each section reconstructs the respective nineteenth and early twentieth century contexts that formed the backdrop for Jung's work, and situates it in relation to contemporaneous developments in the human sciences. This enables the comprehensive reconstruction of the intellectual and disciplinary development of analytical psychology, together with an evaluation of its place in the medical, psychological and intellectual history of the twentieth century.
