Carl Jung & Wolfgang Pauli

Austrian physicist and Nobel prize winner Wolfgang Pauli was said to be one of Jung's collaborators. He was, in fact, Jung's student, patient and case study. Jung recorded 1300 of Pauli's dreams and published 400 in his book 'Psychology and Alchemy'. Pauli felt that dreams should be collected and studied scientifically: 'Thus for Pauli, complex psychology needed to utilize the mathematical and statistical methods to validate its findings. Only in such a way would interdisciplinary cooperation with the natural sciences be possible'. -Quote from Jung and the Making of Modern Psychology, Sonu Shamdasani, Cambridge University Press (2003)
