4 In recognition of his contributions to the field, he was also appointed an honorary member of the American Society for Psychical Research. In 1917, Jung joined the London Society for Psychical Research. In 1907, Jung first met Sigmund Freud, the beginning of a six-year collaboration that ended in a decisive break (see below). He resigned a few years later in order to dedicate himself to research, writing, and private practice as a psychiatrist. In 1905, Jung was employed as lecturer in the medical faculty of the University of Zurich. In 1903, Jung married Emma Rauschenbach, whose family wealth relieved him of financial concerns. 1 From his work with psychotic patients Jung wrote a book about the psychology of schizophrenia, which was widely acclaimed by his peers. In 1900, Jung obtained his medical degree and began working at the Burghölzli Hospital in Zurich (now the University Hospital of Zurich), an important psychiatric and research centre run by Eugen Bleuler where new theories in the nascent fields of psychiatry and psychology were scientifically scrutinized. His father was a pastor of the Swiss Reformed Church. Carl Jung was born on July 26, 1875, in Kesswill, a small town in German Switzerland.
