Jung's autobiography as a source of information on his psychohistory an evaluation Ake Tilander. [Metro Manila] Psychological Association of the Philippines 1992. pages 1-10 23 cm text rdacontent unmediated rdamedia volume rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references(page 10) Discusses whether it is possible to use Jung's (1965) autobiography, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, as a means to understanding and describing his psychological development. G. W. Allport's (1942) table of 13 different reasons for an author to write an autobiography is used to analyze Jung's autobiography. It is concluded that the chapter concerning Jung's relation to Freud is clearly biased and apologetic. Also, Jung tries to give a description of the psychological experiences in his life rather than of external events. Compared with other similar documents, this makes the autobiography less valuable to the historian but more valuable to the psychologist. When using these experiences as source material, the retroactive influence of Jung's theories must be taken into account. At least 3 of Allport's reasons for writing an autobiography appear to apply to Jung: securing personal perspective, scientific interest, and a desire for immortality.
