Carl Jung Personal History Carl Jung was born in was born in Kesswil, Switzerland to a Paul Achilles, a pastor, and Emilie Preiswerk. He was the fourth child but the first three didn?t survive. His mother was absent and depressed for much of his early life, so Carl was a solitary child that kept to himself and his thoughts. Jung got his MD at the University of Basel in 1900 and his PhD at the University of Zurich in Switzerland in 1902. Area of Study Jung was largely interesting in the psychoanalysis work of Sigmund Freud and was mentored under him for a number of years as they became friends. Jung was also very interested in the relationship between the conscious and the subconscious mind; along with dream analysis and these became the basis for many of his theories.
