Face to face: Carl Jung

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.
