In 1934, James Kirsch wrote to a Zionist newspaper, Jüdische Rundschau, defending Jung against charges of anti-Semitism. Stressing Jung’s awareness of the personal equation, Kirsch suggested that a psychology based on human relationship was radically out of tune with Nazi ideology. Here he anticipated recent discussions of Jung’s early discovery of the theory of intersubjectivity. He also argued that by honoring the creative unconscious, Jung supported Jewish self-understanding better than any other psychology. Supplementing a prior publication in the Jung Journal (Winter 2012), “James Kirsch’s Religious Debt to C. G. Jung”, this essay concludes with the full text of Kirsch’s 1934 article in English and German. Key Words: anti-SemitismGustav BallyintersubjectivityJewish identity Jüdische Rundschau C. G.
