| Zusammenfassung: | This article reflects on C. G. Jung's political behavior during the early years of Nazi dictatorship. Beginning with a consideration by Gershom Scholem, Jung's medical and therapeutic attitude in the 1933 Berlin seminar and the collective psychic disorientation during the Weimar period are analyzed. The article also focuses on German perfection, the dangerous mythologizing of politics, and Jung's relationship with Zionism. The author recommends reconsidering shadow projections. |
