Summary/Abstract: From the very beginning, the correspondence between S. Freud and C.G. Jung was based on trust and mutual sympathy and led to creativity. During the seven years (beginning with 1906) there were written 360 letters: 164 by Freud and 196 by Jung, including news and scientific results. Both psychoanalysts visited each other, exchanged photos and personal research studies (books), they had common friends and enemies and founded a journal of psychoanalysis. Jung set up the Freudian Society of Doctors, organized the first Congress of Freudian Psychology, but, unfortunately, what was meant to be a school of Freudianism under the leadership of Jung came to a sudden end as a result of reproaches, difference of opinions and disagreements between the two.
