Summary/Abstract: With the ideal in mind of an extremely delicate balance between selfeffacing and self-asserting tendencies which both masters and their disciplesmust wisely maintain in the at times inevitably interchangeable assumption ofthese two most exacting roles, the author of the present study attempts to get tothe bottom of one of the most controversial master-disciple relationships, thatof S. Freud with C. G. Jung. Far from tacitly agreeing to take turns steering theboat, theirs is a constant interplay of exasperating rebuttals from wounded egosand daunting displays of superior knowledge.
