On June 6th, 1961, Carl Jung, a pioneering Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, died in his home in Switzerland at the age of 85. Jung is remembered for his leading work in the fields of psychiatry and psychotherapy, focusing on concepts such as the collective unconscious, archetypes, analytic psychology and extraversion and introversion. His legacy has left an indelible mark on the field of modern psychiatry and psychotherapy, with his work still referenced in modern psychology courses and literature. During his life, Jung wrote several books, including Psychological Types, Mysterium Coniunctionis, The Structure and Dynamics of the Psyche and Memories, Dreams Reflections. He also founded the Psychological Club in Zurich, which gathered psychiatrists from around the world to discuss the latest psychological findings in the 1920s. Jung is survived by his daughter, Agathe, and his wife, Emma Rauschenbach, who passed away in 1955. His work and memory will be remembered forever.
