Filmed for the BBC series Face to Face in 1959, this archival interview features Carl Jung surveying his life and extraordinarily influential career at the age of 84, just two years before his death. In conversation with the UK presenter John Freeman at his home near Zurich, Switzerland, he answers a range of questions about his humble upbringing, his contentious relationship with Freud, his fervent beliefs in God and the collective unconscious, and his thoughts on death and the future of humanity. Jung’s answers are often quite candid and at times casually poetic, making for a riveting intimate encounter with one of the most important thinkers in the history of psychology.

1. Celerity, I had no idea this video existed. Thank you - it has made my day.

I'm already 17 minutes in. Jung has been an off & on interest of mine for several years. I wish media were being produced today that
took its subjects seriously - instead of the "Ted Talk" crap which IMO is egoistic and glossy - and often seems like a parody of itself.

3. The Existentialists disagree.

That said, I'm with Jung.

4. Thank you for posting this.

Being a retired mental health clinician, I have avidly included Prof. Jung's assessments in my studies from the beginning.
