In Über Psychoanalyse (1916), Carl Jung critically examines the theoretical underpinnings of psychoanalysis, while responding to prevalent misconceptions. He begins by addressing the challenges of public dialogue on psychoanalysis, citing pervasive misunderstandings and prejudices. Jung laments the tendency of uninformed critics to dismiss psychoanalysis without engaging with its foundational texts. He highlights the need for clarity and scholarly rigor, suggesting that psychoanalysis requires both nuanced interpretation and a receptive audience, qualities that public debate often lacks. "Über Psychoanalyse" was first published in 1916 as part of the book "Analytical Psychology," as separate monograph in the context of his contributions to psychoanalytic theory, edited by Constance E. Long and released by Moffat, Yard and Company in New York. This is not to be confused with Freud's work by the same name.
